Book Your Fall Getaway to Los Cabos Today!
Savoring time under the sun in Los Cabos is always a good idea. Those heading here during the fall season are sure to find inspiration every step of the way. The following are just a few of the activities available to be enjoyed that are sure to have you booking your autumn adventure to Los Cabos today!
Make the Most of Well-Deserved Beach Time
A highlight of a trip to Los Cabos any time of year is the chance to embrace the sand and sun and make the most of the area’s spectacular shorelines. Beach goers who can’t wait to dig their toes into sugary-white sands will find there’s plenty waiting for them across Los Cabos! Travelers who are heading this way in the fall are in luck when it comes to crowds to contend with on the beach. This time of year is considered a shoulder season so typically, you can count on finding fewer visitors in some of the more popular stretches of the coastline. That’s said, nothing is sacrificed in the way of seasonal beauty, so making time to unwind on the beach in the fall is always a great idea! Hacienda Beach is a beautiful place to settle into the sand when you’re lingering around Cabo San Lucas while Acapulquito Beach tops the list in the San Jose del Cabo area. Medano Breathless Beach is another must-visit stretch of sand in the Cabo San Lucas region while El Surgidero Beach promises to delight if you’re out exploring along East Cape.
Book a Snorkeling Adventure
For all of the land-based fun time on the beach offers to fall travelers to Los Cabos, this time of year is also ideal for time spent out on the water! While whales don’t typically make their migrational way in this direction until later in the year, there is plenty of other marine life to be encountered when you hop in the waves. A great way to get up close is to book a snorkeling tour that ensures you’ll be swimming through the best spots in the area. Cabo Adventures is a good place to start when you’re looking for a guided sail and snorkel experience that can be customized with ease. The Sea of Cortez Wildlife & Snorkeling Adventure is a comprehensive way to get out on the water and make it a day that’s as educational as it is thrilling! Cabo Expeditions caters to adult snorkelers looking to make the most of a Land’s End Snorkel Adventure while Big Mike Sea Adventures provides snorkel tours as well and has been serving the area for over 10 years.
Check Out Independence Day Celebrations in September
If your travel plans have you heading to Los Cabos toward the middle of September, you’ll be just in time to enjoy the Mexican Independence Day celebration in the area which happens on September 15th. One of the highlights of this day is typically the celebration hosted at the Hardrock Hotel Los Cabos. Starting around 6:00 pm, guests flood this destination to enjoy everything from live music and a regional show to traditional Mexican games, Mariachi performances, and fireworks. Be sure to keep an eye on the event calendar for any last-minute changes in 2022.
Enjoy Autumn Golfing
Mild temperatures and stunning views are yours to enjoy when you set aside time on the itinerary to get out on the greens during your Los Cabos adventure this fall. This destination is known and loved for its incredible courses that are suitable for golfers of all skill levels looking to make the most of their long and short game alike. There are plenty of course options to choose from, but make sure to book your tee time in advance to ensure your place on the lineup at their popular locales. Some of the destinations to select from include Cabo Real Resort, Cabo Del Sol, Cabo San Lucas Country Club, and Palmilla Course.
Get Close to Amazing Marine Life at a UNESCO Site
If you’re looking for an incredible fall day trip during your time in Los Cabos, booking a tour of Espiritu Santo Island is a must. This inspiring destination is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where wildlife thrives in abundance. From sea lions and tropical fish to a bird sanctuary brimming over with everything from hummingbirds to pelicans, your time on the island promises to be unforgettable. Day sailings from Los Cabos to the island take you across the waters of the Sea of Cortez to this protected space where you can choose to hike, swim, or perhaps enjoy both!

Waters around Cabo San Lucas in particular are home to everything from whale sharks and coral reefs to octopi, sea turtles, sea lions, and more!
Make the Most of Whale Watching Adventures
One of the most exciting aspects of a trip to Los Cabos in the winter is that you’ll be arriving in town alongside a collection of migrating whales! This time of year, a variety of whale species hit the waters in pursuit of the perfect places to have their calves before returning on the route once more. Enjoying time watching these magnificent creatures could easily be the highlight of your getaway experience. The best whale watching times in Los Cabos fall between December and March, putting winter travelers in prime time to make the most of the exciting views. The best way to whale watch is by booking a tour with a company that specializes in this type of excursion. The boats used by these local companies are often designed to protect people and whales alike while the professionals onboard know exactly where to go and when to spot the most whales at once. Many tours even offer guests a chance to utilize a hydrophone along the way which allows you to listen to whale songs as they travel underwater!
Explore the Gallery District in San Jose del Cabo
While time on the water is a delight in the winter months in Los Cabos, this area is just as rich in history for those with a passion for pursuing culture, arts, and the past. One of the best places to spend time exploring when you’re looking for some historical or creative inspiration this winter is the gallery district in San Jose del Cabo. This area is generally thought of as a more traditional space within the greater Los Cabos area as it’s packed with historical landmarks, unique traditional architecture, and specialized stores featuring handcrafted goods as well. The gallery district in this area highlights some of the most intriguing Mexican art traditions in abundance—all of which are well worth checking out while you’re here. On Thursday evenings between 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm, the gallery district hosts an Art Walk where stores are open later than usual, inviting visitors to come and linger and admire work while making the most of delicious options available along the street too.
Set Aside Time for the Beach
Because the cold and snow simply aren’t a risk here this time of year, taking time to unwind on the beach is a popular winter activity to enjoy when you’re in Los Cabos! Sunseekers will be thrilled to find that time on the sand is a delight in the winter months. That means you can feel free to grab a beach chair and towel and head over to popular stops like Chileno Beach or Medano Beach when you’re looking to soak up the sun in style.

Should You Consider a Luxurious Cabo Villa Vacation?
Cabo villa vacations are in. American vacationers are flocking to Los Cabos in tsunami waves of interest and excitement. Although the U.S. border with Mexico remains closed to non-essential travel as it has been since the start of the pandemic, there is nothing stopping eager vacationers from flying in and heading right to the party. Mexico does not have quarantine restrictions or testing requirements for those entering, although those freedoms do not hold true on return to the U.S.
The U.S. State Department, which recently aligned policy with guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control, currently places Mexico at a Level 3 threat – actually a safer bet against the dozens of countries at the CDC’s level 4 threat that include many European destinations recently re-opened to Americans. And for the Baja, where Los Cabos can be found, the numbers are even better as the resort destination counts the fewest recent Covid cases in Mexico currently, according to a daily update provided by the New York Times.
No matter what the numbers, however, American vacationers remain undaunted. More than 2 million Americans visited Mexico in the first four months of this year and, according to Mexican government statistics, these were only 76 percent of all international visitors – tallied via arrivals by air. Furthermore, data reports show travel to Mexico from the US is up nearly 32 percent in this third quarter of 2021 alone, viewed against the same period in 2019.
While there remains much danger in exposure as Americans head south of the border for end of summer fiestas, and the Delta variant is only adding to this clear and present threat, many of those looking to party safely are bringing their party pods with them and choosing the safety and privacy of a villa vacation as the way to go.
In March, Los Cabos was named the world’s first VERIFIED travel destination through the independent health validation firm Sharecare. To manage this, the region’s hotels had to complete and maintain verification on some 360 global health security standards, including cleaning products and procedures, ventilation, hygiene protocols, and health/safety communication.
Demand for private homes and villas as vacation choices have been ticking up since the lockdown last year. Homes & Villas by Marriott International (HVMI), in fact, saw a 720% increase in just the first quarter of this year. As consumers return to their now normal in germ-ridden offices and contact with unvaccinated co-workers, many are opting for a safer escape option for those things they can control, such as planning a vacation.
A villa vacation in Los Cabos is likely the best solution. Properties in Villas del Mar by the waters of the Sea of Cortez can sleep as many as 20 guests in comfort in large rooms with private terraces, palatial bathrooms and stunning views of the sea. Broken down by guest numbers, nightly rates at Elegant Mexico often come out way ahead of resort costs and with many more amenities thrown in.
The villas here are a short distance (perhaps a 20 minute drive) from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), often managed with luxury chauffeur services on request. Private flyers head down to Cabo San Lucas at the tip of the peninsula.
Each villa is its own design and purpose, whether a mere three-bedroom manse or a ten-bedroom palace, and each is rife with perfect places to socialize, read, think, work, meditate, watch a movie, party, sip, sun, swim and dine. Imagine waking up to a honey stream of sunlight on your bed, calling your butler for coffee, savoring that coffee in quiet on your patio overlooking the sea and then wandering out to the kitchen later to have a veritable breakfast feast prepared for you by the villa’s private chef.
You head out to your private and meandering pool area later to take a dip in the flowing waters and perhaps take in some morning sun reading the New York Times on your iPad. You plan your day with suggestions from the butler and then have the villa concierge put those plans into motion.
You take a morning bath in the soaking tub in your bedroom, decorated with colorful Talevera tiles and flanked with an open wall allowing in wide views of the sea and sky. You enjoy a cocktail and plate of custom enchiladas for lunch, prepared on request by the villa chef, and then you make your way out for a challenging golf game at the One&Only Palmilla next door, or shopping for artsy notions in nearby San Jose del Cabo. By evening, it’s time to party with your pod over pizza and beer in the outside kitchen and patio, followed by a soak in the Jacuzzi and stories told around the fire pit.
These choices, although they sound expensive, often pencil out to much less when considering the size of your party pod, the fact that you are not paying for libations by the cocktail or meals by the plate. Plus, you are getting dedicated service for whatever your needs are. And such considerations do not even touch the safety factor – that you are in private quarters and not interfacing continuously with people you do not know.
The simple pleasures of a villa vacation in Los Cabos are a hidden treasure of the travel field, often offered up by travel agents who have a true knowledge of the landscape, prices and benefits. While villa vacations have been the tried and true playground for top tiers of the once percent crowd, the playing field is ever more democratic with ever burgeoning choices. Elegant Mexico knows this, and knows the way in to this precious secret. Villa vacations in Los Cabos have never been so accessible … until now.

What is a blue flag beach
The blue flag program is one of its kind environmental education and safety program launched by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). Present in 77 countries, FEE runs pivotal programs to improve the sustainability of ecologically sensitive sites.

Also, these conditions have to be met year after year in order to retain the blue flag status. Due to the scrutiny and challenging requirements to meet the sustainability goals, every certified blue flag beach can be expected to reflect some of the following attributes.
- Promotes a healthy lifestyle
- Conducts safety education and informs steps to mitigate disasters
- Plans activities for social well-being
- Ensures better water quality and sanitation levels
- Contributes to new jobs and local economies
