A Celebration of the Rich Heritage of Tequila
Earlier this year, the Marquis Los Cabos debuted a $1,000 tequila popsicle made from the ultra-exclusive “Tequilas Premium Clase Azul Ultra” and flecked with 24-carat gold. While the jaw-dropping price tag may make you pause before ordering the treat by the pool, Marquis’ special “Distinctive T” designation from the Tequila Regulatory Council of Mexico (the first resort in Baja California to have received the designation) means the resort is exceptionally equipped to help you discover the nuances of this celebrated spirit.

Where To Vacation Swimmingly in Cabo
While Cabo’s all about that winning combination of golden beaches and the impossibly turquoise sea, many visitors are surprised to know that a lot of the Los Cabos coastline simply isn’t recommended for swimming. Due to the confluence of the waters of the mighty Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez, strong undertows and unpredictable waves make it wiser to play it safe and admire the ocean views from your resort’s pool. However, there are a few wonderful spots where gentle beaches invite you to take a dip and play in some of the world’s most pristine waters. Here are our some of our top picks of resorts and villas on…
An Oasis in San José: An Interview with Nathalie Tenoux of Casa Natalia
Casa Natalia is not the typical Los Cabos getaway that springs to mind for many vacationers—there’s no glitzy beach club, it’s located in the heart of San José del Cabo’s historic district, and the hotel has only 14 rooms and 2 suites. But what it lacks in big-scale oomph it more than makes up for in romance. Steps to the art galleries and inviting restaurants of charming San José, Casa Natalia is a true oasis of old-world hospitality. Step into the quiet lobby from the town’s bustling plaza, and you’re greeted by the sight of a serene private courtyard, with swaying palms, vibrant flowers and chirping birds. We chatted with…

An Afternoon Kayak to Land’s End with High Tide Los Cabos
Recently, our Director of Sales, Julie Byrd, hopped aboard a kayak excursion to Lover’s Beach and the dramatic stone arch at Land’s End (“El Arco”) with, Julianne Warriner (of A Matter of Taste Catering), and the team of High Tide Los Cabos Sea Expeditions. The group was treated to the unusual sight of an exposed beach under El Arco. Often, a small stretch will appear at extremely low tides for a very short time frame. However, approximately every 6-8 years (estimates vary), just the right conditions come together to push up sand under the arch and a wider beach stays around for longer—sometimes as long as several months. Various factors,…
