When R&R is at the top of your vacation must-do list, there’s no better place to be than Cabo San Lucas. Known simply as "Cabo," this easy, breezy Baja Mexico resort town serves up plenty of adventure, culture, and scenic beaches – all wrapped up in luxurious, effortless comfort.
Perched at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, where the blue waters of the Sea of Cortés and the Pacific Ocean converge, Cabo offers visitors a blend of stunning desert and oceanside landscapes to explore. And with a dry, tropical climate and more than 300 days of sunshine a year, Cabo makes an ideal destination to escape northern winters, plan a summer sojourn, or book a last-minute beachside retreat.
Cabo offers a wonderful array of activities and things to do - it's impossible to be bored! If you’re looking to relax, there are about a thousand ways to kick back in Cabo: choose from open-air spas and high-end wellness retreats; prominent museums and art galleries; Michelin-starred chefs and restaurants; and the region’s postcard-perfect golden sand and sapphire sea beaches.
It’s just as easy to tap into Cabo’s adventurous side. The Baja peninsula is a place where the desert meets the ocean meets the mountains – meaning you can hike to a waterfall, ATV through the desert, take a dip in natural hot springs, and snorkel or scuba dive to see one of the world’s richest marine ecosystems. World-class golf, fishing, and water sports of all kinds are also right at your fingertips. From November to April, the whale watching is fantastic. Enjoy watching these gentle giants breach from the beach, or join a watching excursion for an adventure you'll never forget.
Culturally, Cabo is equally delightful to explore by night. Walk along the lively marina before dining at one of the many highly rated farm-to-table restaurants. Book a sunset cruise, take in the vibrant local music and festival scene, book a private wine or tequila tasting, or kick off your shoes at a sunset beach party and bonfire. With a proud sense of heritage and community, Cabo keeps the energy alive 365 days and nights a year.
Located within the award-winning Villa La Estancia resort, our beachfront Cabo condo rental comes with panoramic ocean views, marble floors, your own gourmet kitchen, and nearly 500 sq ft of outdoor living that includes al fresco dining, a grill, and a wet bar.
Enjoy full access to the resort’s amenities, including pools, a world-class spa and fitness center, on-site dining, and the swimmable sands of Medano Beach just steps away. This luxury Cabo condo can sleep up to 8 people and has 3 spa-like bathrooms.
Location: Southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula: a stunning, rugged stretch of land that extends about 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) south from the U.S. border at California. It's the second-longest peninsula in the world and home to some of Mexico’s most dramatic and diverse landscapes.
Climate: Tropical, desert climate with consistent, year-round temperatures: mostly hot and dry, with average daily temperatures between 24°C to 32°C (75°F to 90°F).
Best Time to Visit: Cabo is a popular year-round destination, but December to April is peak tourism season. Spring and summer bring fewer crowds and warmers waters for swimming, snorkeling, and other beach activities, while winter offers prime whale-watching opportunities and more temperate evenings for sunset strolls and candlelit dinners under the stars.
How to get there: Cabo San Lucas is served by the San José del Cabo International Airport (SJD), just a short 40-minute drive away. It’s also a popular port of call for many cruise ships.
Where to Stay: Luxus Vacation Property in the Villa La Estancia resort.
Currency: The Mexican peso, but American credit cards (and typically dollars) are also accepted.
Dining: Innovative international and traditional cuisines and award-winning restaurants abound. Fresh seafood and Bajan specialties are a must: chocolate clams, fresh seafood tostadas and fish tacos, elote (grilled corn on the cob), tamales, and of course a mezcal or tequila cocktail.
Transport: The best way to get around Cabo San Lucas is on foot or by car. Most attractions are clustered within the downtown area, and a scenic water taxi can get you from the downtown marina to the best beaches.
Safety: Cabo is considered a safe, welcoming resort town for tourists. The local government makes tourist safety a priority and maintains a strong security presence in hotel zones, beaches, and downtown areas. Visitors should remain vigilant about their belongings, nonetheless, and exercise caution when leaving the main tourist areas, especially at night.
Top Attractions: The natural sea arch El Arco de Cabo San Lucas, the richly diverse marine life for snorkeling and scuba diving at Cabo Pulmo up the coast, deep sea fishing for marlin, hiking in Canyon of the Fox, and a day trip to El Chorro hot springs.

You can tee off at ocean-view golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and other sports legends, dine at the same restaurants as world-famous celebrities, and enjoy one of the world’s best views of annual gray and humpback whale migrations—all in one vacation.
