Although Cancún is an incredibly popular destination for vacationing Americans, Rosedale Travel founder Kirsten Billhardt recently stayed a few days in Los Cabos, the most southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, touring properties. There are two main cities to explore: San Jose de Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, with a corridor of luxury hotels, golf resorts, and high-end restaurants in between. And since it’s directly south of Los Angeles, California, you might catch a glimpse of a few celebrities here too!
With winter holiday planning on the mind, Mexico is a fabulous destination for a tropical getaway that won’t require you to spend too many hours en route! No jet lag, plenty of sunshine, and all-inclusive resorts right on the water with plenty of activities to keep everyone busy… Not to mention you’ll avoid the colder winter months while lounging with a fresh mezcalita on some of the world’s most gorgeous beaches.
From Kirsten’s visit, she already knows she’ll be recommending all-inclusive places like Hyatt Ziva Cabo for family celebrations or Hard Rock Cabo for celebratory travel with friends. But let’s dive a little deeper into the details. Take a look at the following luxury Cabo resorts to elevate your stay during your next adventure!
Zadún, Ritz-Carlton
Spend your time relaxing in a guest room at the Grand Villa Reserve, the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve to be opened in Mexico. This new luxury oasis overlooks the Sea of Cortéz, with a gorgeous, expansive property that gives residents the ability to interact with nature as they please. From desert walks to secret waterfalls to a harmonious dip in healing waters at Spa Alkemia, you’ll inspire your inner nature. With all the access to exotic cuisine, local wine, and fresh artisan bread every morning, you’ll enjoy a wide variety of Mexican dining that infuses modern with traditional to create incredible culinary experiences. Whether you want to hit the gym, explore the 27-hole Puerto Los Cabos Golf Club, or relax in a heated swimming pool, Zadún offers all of the above, plus additional amenities when you book with us. For an up-close look, follow our Instagram to see Kirsten’s personal video tour of the grounds.
