Baja - Cabo San Lucas, Todos Santos, East Cape, La Paz and more

Our first trip to Cabo San Lucas was in 1982 when it was just a small fishing village with spectacular beaches and no marina. The authentic Hotel Hacienda on El Medano beach sat by itself. The Hotel Finisterra was perched high on the hill with its famed Whale Watchers bar, and the Sol Mar rested on the Pacific beach nestled up against the cliffs. Out on the Sea of Cortez, the Hotel Palmilla, Hotel Cabo San Luca, and Twin Dolphin welcomed travelers in relative solitude. And the East Cape, a laid-back undiscovered fly fishing and beach mecca was way off-the-beaten path. Hard to believe the transition to Cabo today, but the natural charm, relaxing vibe, and still great fishing are common denominators. And what is really different is the much higher degree of sheer luxury and sybaritic pleasure in terms of over-the-top resorts and hotels, world-class dining and golf, renowned spas, private villas, and personalized service that allows you to unplug and do as much, or as little, as you like.  ​Contact us to begin planning your trip.
