Los Cabos Honeymoon

Los Cabos is the area stretching between Cabo San Lucas to the west and San Jose del Cabo to the east along the coast of Baja, California and Mexico. And we can tell you, a Los Cabos honeymoon has a little bit of everything on offer. At night, find yourselves taking shots of tequila and joining the dance party at the club. During the day, take in the white sand beaches, crystal blue waters, and stunning cliffs—not to mention the plentiful marine life on display. Here, in this luxe paradise, you will find everything from over-the-top resorts to cozy cottages, and winding horseback riding trails to ATV beach excursions. Known to attract celebrities, Los Cabos is often noted for its grand scenery and party-life (ever heard of Cabo Wabo?), but you can find plenty of R&R for your Mexico honeymoon retreat, including secluded beaches, quaint art towns, pristine deserts, and the beautiful underwater coral reefs.

Los Cabos is what you make of it—so take in a little of everything it has on offer during your Los Cabos honeymoon. 

When to Go

The best weather can be found from October through May, but the best prices are from June to October, when tourist crowds die down a bit from the holiday rush. If you love whale watching, plan your Los Cabos honeymoon for December through March, when migratory families make their way to this coastline—but be prepared for high-season pricing at the resorts and restaurants.

Top Sights and Activities

  • Canoodle at Lover’s Beach: What’s more fitting for your Mexico honeymoon than a strip of white sand beach amid wave-washed rocks? Pack a picnic.
