Why Los Cabos for a Ultra-Luxury trip
In Los Cabos, the most rarefied stays are sprawling villas cut into the clifftops, with infinity pools that seem to hover over the surf, desert gardens and dedicated staff. Several elite resorts wrap their villas in private residential enclaves, so guests rarely encounter anyone outside their party. A private sportfishing boat out of the Cabo San Lucas marina, in-villa spa treatments and a private chef cooking the morning's catch are the kind of requests the best properties handle effortlessly.
At the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, where the desert meets the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific, Los Cabos delivers a distinctive mix of rugged landscapes, golf, sportfishing and polished resort luxury. Its top properties feature cliffside villas, infinity pools and spas facing the dramatic coastline, appealing to travelers who want sun, scenery and outdoor adventure.
When to go: November through April is the most pleasant time, with warm, dry days and cooler evenings; it also coincides with humpback whale season, roughly December through March. Summers are hot and humid, and the Pacific hurricane season runs from roughly June through November.
