A Maid of Honor HQ Guide
Yacht charters, Medano beach clubs, and El Squid Roe until sunrise — the Final Fiesta awaits.
Cabo hits different. The Sea of Cortez glitters outside your balcony, Médano Beach is wall-to-wall beach clubs pumping reggaeton, and a yacht charter to Lover's Beach + The Arch is basically mandatory. Days are for day passes at Solaz or Esperanza with swim-up bars and frozen palomas; nights are for El Squid Roe's multi-level madness and a table at Nowhere Bar. Fly direct into Los Cabos (SJD) — most US cities have nonstop service — and you're pool-side in under an hour. Best October through May, before the summer hurricane season.
Three full weekends at three price points in about 60 seconds. Trip terms sheet included.
