Mexico!

Desert tour, whale watching or perhaps a wellness day with a view of turquoise-blue waves? Many things are possible in Los Cabos, Mexico. The region in the south of Baja California not only offers unique natural and cultural experiences, but is also known for its large number of first-class hotels.



For a long time, the southern end of Baja California was considered a blind spot on the maps of most luxury travelers. But that has changed. Nowadays, Los Cabos attracts adventurous travelers, golfers, divers and those seeking peace and quiet from all over the world. On the one hand, this is due to the unspoiled nature and the numerous dream beaches that are strung together like pearls on a necklace between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. On the other hand, it is also due to the large number of exclusive luxury hotels that the region has to offer. Whether on the paradisiacal Pacific coast in the west or further east, on the Gulf of California, which the locals call "Mar de Cortés" - the choice is as impressive as it is inspiring.



In Los Cabos , for example, the One&Only Palmilla attracts guests with its unique location directly above the sea. Guests stay in 174 rooms, suites, casitas, tree houses and villas, all of which have butler service and, depending on the category booked, private pools and up to 1,400 m² of living space. In addition to the signature restaurant SEARED under the direction of New York Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, there are also three other first-class restaurants and private dining options on the beach or in the suite. Those who want to say "I do" with a view of the turquoise blue sea can do so in the resort's own chapel.

Located not far from the One&Only and surrounded by a gentle dune landscape, the Zadún, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve is another top-class hideaway. While passionate golfers appreciate the adjacent Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club with a total of 27 holes and 3 courses, wellness fans rave about the Alkemia Spa, whose unique treatments are inspired by centuries-old rituals as well as the latest research results from the high-tech sector. The unusual architecture of the Zadún is no less eclectic: Traditional construction methods and materials meet modern design and a purist ambience.



The result: harmony at the highest level!
A true contrast - and not just from a purely geographical point of view - is Acre, located in the interior of the country. Ten hectares in size and privately owned by the two Canadian eco-entrepreneurs Cameron Watt and Stuart McPherson, the resort offers villas equipped with every comfort as well as glamorous glamping accommodation in stylish tree houses. As unusual as a night between heaven and earth are the resort's own open-air restaurant with a farm-to-table concept, a small but exquisite spa that relies on the healing power of local cacti and aloe vera, and Acre's own art academy.

Another highlight on the side of Los Cabos facing the Mexican mainland is the Grand Velas Hotel with panoramic suites overlooking the sea, seven first-class restaurants and a 3,250 m² spa area. The all-inclusive offer here is impressive: all gourmet restaurants are included in the price, even the 8-course menu at Cocina de Autor, the hotel's two-star restaurant. Early booking is recommended. Las Ventanas al Paraiso, A Rosewood Resort is a popular five-star oasis on the powder-sugar-fine beach with private cabanas and pampers guests with soothing treatments at dusk, for example. Candles light up the solarium and singing bowls create a pleasant atmosphere. Pure relaxation.

Whale watching for breakfast
If you spend your vacation in the Pacific part of Los Cabos , you are likely to enjoy a very special natural spectacle during the winter months: Between December and April, countless whales and their young migrate not far from the coast! Whale watching is not only possible from boats, but also from the breakfast table! The Nobu Los Cabos is one of the luxury hotels offering box seats. Located at the southernmost point of Baja California, the hotel has a spectacular view of an untouched dune landscape and the sea. Also a treat: the Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine of hotel founder Nobu Matsuhisa. Boldly built into the iconic granite cliffs of Land's End, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal offers panoramic views from all rooms, suites, casitas and villas in modern Mexican style.


The arrival alone is an experience: 100 meters of tunnel have been carved into the stone, a path where you leave stress behind to be warmly welcomed at the lobby with great hospitality. The unique location is complemented by unique restaurants, including the exquisite champagne bar El Farallon with terrace and "Ocean to table" menu. In the spa, charming little séparées provide plenty of privacy and are oases of relaxation.

And then there is the living hotel legend Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos. Opened in 1995 directly on the beach, it is one of the pioneers in the region - and has lost none of its ambience and appeal to this day. Guests stay in rooms and suites that are characterized by their luxurious local color and are spread over a magnificent garden. The top-curated excursion program with private sunset cruises, desert hikes, off-road and climbing tours, diving and snorkelling excursions provide even more "magical Mexican moments".
