Situated at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos and San Jose del Cabo are linked by a 60-plus mile-long “resort corridor” of exclusive beachfront homes, where more than 350,000 residents live full-time. It’s favored by more than two million visitors every year for its climate, variety of activities, and many resorts that dot the shoreline.
Los Cabos is also famous for its art scene. Many of its former private homes and historical buildings have been converted into galleries and gift shops that feature exclusive paintings, sculptures, and other pieces created by Mexican artisans. The town features excellent examples of colonial architecture, including the local church founded in 1730 and is one of many Jesuit missions throughout California and Mexico.

Clients can choose from various treatments, ranging from massages to facials and aqua-therapy to croma-therapy. One local favorite is the Moonlight Spa, which offers a roster of massages, including Swedish massage, hot river stone massages, body wraps, and lymphatic drainage treatments. Also provided are shiatsu treatments, manicures, pedicures, and gentle “baby on board” massages for moms-to-be. The Jasha Spa & Beauty Parlor at the JW Marriott Los Cabos Beach Resort & Spa offers couples’ massages, invigorating Ayurvedic treatments, body scrubs, and paraffin treatments
Cruises, boating, and whale-watching
One of the best parts about living in Los Cabos real estate is the easy access to the beach. A great way to get to know the Los Cabos scenery is whale-watching. The best time to catch sight of these magnificent creatures is between December and March — however, new mother whales and their newborns can appear in late November through early December.

Those out for a secluded afternoon with a home-packed picnic basket can opt for a boat ride to the semi-private Lover’s Beach to enjoy the scenery and wading in the crystal-clear water. Unless you’re an experienced scuba diver or snorkeling expert, it’s best to avoid the choppy, unpredictable waters and instead focus on a relaxing afternoon in the sun.
Horseback riding near Los Cabos
A horseback ride in Los Cabos is an enriching experience that allows you to know the area. Most rides take roughly two hours and are a great way to spend an afternoon. Guided horseback tours typically come with a narration of the area's history, sights, food, and backstory from your guide. If horseback riding isn’t your thing, and you prefer doing the walking and hiking on your own, check out the Sierra de la Laguna. Outdoor relaxation is available while canyoneering, hiking, and bouldering all year round. Make sure you wear a hat and some sunscreen, as temps hover around 100-degrees for much of the year.
Cabo snorkeling tours
Snorkeling is a relaxing pastime perfectly suited to the warm, clear waters of Los Cabos. If you’ve never snorkeled before, take a class to do it properly and know how to protect yourself while under the waves. Arch of Cabo and Santa Maria Bay are pristine snorkeling locations where you can swim amongst schools of exotic fish and witness playful sea lions.
Cycling on the flats and in the mountains
With many of the protected reserves in the area, motor vehicles are off-limits near El Dorado Cabo homes for sale. Opt instead to take a mountain bike on an afternoon excursion to places high and low near Los Cabos. But before you head out, make sure you're appropriately outfitted and prepared for emergencies. You'll need a helmet, emergency lights for your bike, a detailed map of your path, and fresh drinking water. As with any excursion, alert your traveling companions of your itinerary and your estimated return time.
