Where To Stay

Over the years we’ve stayed at a variety of resorts in Cabo, but Las Ventanas al Paraíso is hands down our favorite. We actually were married at this fabulous resort in 2011 and purchased a residence on-property in 2020. The service, serenity, and dining experiences are truly unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I simply cannot recommend this bucket list destination enough!

A few other recommended places that we’ve stayed at or have been recommended by friends: One&Only Palmilla, Waldorf Astoria, Esperanza,  Chileno Bay, The Hilton, and Grand Solmar.

What To Do

There’s no shortage of fun things to do when in Cabo! While my ideal itinerary is typically full of days spent relaxing by the pool, I thought I would share a few things we’ve done and loved in the past!

Hat Shopping at Corazon Playero

This is truly a Cabo MUST! When we have guests visiting, we always make a point to go custom hat shopping at Corazon Playero. Exploring the fabulous designs and adding your own personal touch is such a fun and memorable experience! Make sure to book ahead! They often have pop-up shops in local resorts so check with your concierge. 20% off this bracelet with code TIFFANY20.

Boat Day to The Arch and Whale Watching

Cabo is famous for the beautiful Arch of Cabo San Lucas! So beautiful in photographs but nothing beats the beauty of seeing it up close. While you’re there make sure to keep an eye out for whales on the horizon during whale season (early December to mid-April). We took this excursion years ago, and it’s still such a beautiful memory.

Pool Day

As mentioned above, my ideal day in Cabo is spent with friends and family at the resort pool. No pool day is complete without a chic swimwear look (more poolside style here). Pssst… the sun is intense, so don’t forget your sunscreen and sun hat!

Where To Dine

There are so many phenomenal dining experiences in Cabo, I had the most difficult time limiting it to highlighting just a few. A few more honorable mention favorites below:

Acre, Alebrije, Zenna Los Cabos, Bar Esquina, El Huerto, Nobu. 

Lunch at Flora Farms

I think most people who have been to Cabo would recommend lunch at Flora Farms Field Kitchen. It’s a true farm to table restaurant with the most amazing ambiance and fresh foods. Disclaimer… it’s a bit off the beaten path, so keep that in mind if you’re prone to getting carsick!

Dinner at Edith’s

Edith’s has been on our Cabo itinerary every trip for the past 15 plus years. We even had our rehearsal dinner there in 2011, so it holds a very special place in my heart! SUCH a fun and festive atmosphere that exudes Cabo tradition. The food is amazing, we love the tableside caesar salad and the Tampiquena with Center Cut Beef Filet is the perfect meal to split. 20% off this fabulous bracelet with code TIFFANY20.

Dinner at Arbol

Arbol is hands down my favorite restaurant in Cabo. Located at Las Ventanas, the decor and ambiance is second to none with exquisite food and drinks. The cuisine is described as Asian Style Coastal, there is something on the menu for everyone. I highly recommend the Spring Rolls, Lobster Fried Rice, and Wagyu Beef Stir Fry. Tiffy Tip: We always order a few dishes family style so we can enjoy a little bit of everything!

 A Night Cap at La Botica Speakeasy

La Botica Speakeasy is the most unique and amazing place for a night cap! It truly feels like you’re stepping into a time capsule and going back to the 20’s. Some nights they have an immaculate live show, so make sure to get there early! My daughter loves the Espresso Martini and we all love stopping at the food trucks for an incredible gourmet hot dog or beef slider on our way out.

Dinner at El Farallon

Nestled on the side of a cliff, El Farallon is truly a bucket list dining experience. Enjoy a glass of bubbles at the Champagne Terrace before an incredible fine dining experience while overlooking the most beautiful ocean-side view in Cabo. Definitely on the pricier side, but a great ‘special occasion’ dinner. Tiffy Tip: Make sure to bring a wrap as it gets chilly.
