Get to know Cabo

ONE DESTINATION. MANY DIFFERENT DAYS.

Two towns.
One extraordinary coast.

Los Cabos sits at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. The destination centres on Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, connected by a coastal corridor. Casa Picasso is in Pedregal, on the Cabo San Lucas side.

Views over Cabo from Casa Picasso
Your perspective from Casa Picasso.
01

Cabo San Lucas

The marina, boat trips to Land’s End, restaurants, and nightlife give this end of Los Cabos its lively character. Make time for Plaza Amelia Wilkes and the natural history museum, too.

02

San José del Cabo

Explore the historic centre, galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. An afternoon of art followed by dinner makes a lovely change of pace.

03

The coastal corridor

The stretch between the two towns is home to beaches, coves, resorts, and golf. Plan transport when combining stops along the coast.

BEFORE THE POSTCARDS

A place with
a longer story.

Cabo’s history reaches far beyond its modern hotels and marinas. Its Indigenous heritage, maritime connections, and growth as a visitor destination all shape the region today.

  1. INDIGENOUS ROOTS

    The Pericú people

    The Cape region was home to the Pericú people long before European arrival. Their lives were closely connected to the coast, its waters, and the surrounding landscape.

  2. 1730

    The San José mission

    The founding of the San José del Cabo mission marked an important chapter in the region’s colonial history. The town’s historic centre offers a starting point for exploring that past.

  3. 19TH & EARLY 20TH CENTURIES

    A working coast

    Port activity and industry helped the area grow. Cabo San Lucas’s fishing heritage remains part of its identity.

  4. MID-20TH CENTURY ONWARD

    A new chapter in travel

    Early hotels brought a growing visitor economy. Investment accelerated from the 1970s, helping shape the Los Cabos destination known today.

CHOOSE YOUR KIND OF DAY

A little adventure.
A lot to discover.

01

Land’s End & the Arch

Take a boat trip to see El Arco, the distinctive rock formation at the tip of Cabo San Lucas. Choose a short sightseeing outing or make it part of a longer private cruise.

Agree the route, boat, group size, and any swimming stops with your operator. Sea conditions determine what is possible.

02

A yacht day or sunset cruise

Spend time on the water with your group, or head out for the changing evening light. Private charters can be shaped around a relaxed cruise, lunch, or coastal sightseeing.

Food, drinks, transport, and duration vary by charter. Our Coastal Escape package is a starting point for a planned villa-and-water itinerary.

03

Snorkelling & diving

Explore sheltered coves such as Chileno and Santa María, or plan a guided marine excursion. Choose an outing that suits everyone’s swimming ability and experience.

For a dedicated reef day, explore Cabo Pulmo below. Conditions, access, and operator guidance matter at every location.

04

Seasonal whale watching

Winter and early spring bring whale-watching opportunities around Los Cabos. The usual visitor season is roughly December to April; confirm the current operating dates with your chosen tour.

Choose a responsible operator. Wildlife sightings and sea conditions are never guaranteed.

05

Golf, fishing & outdoor adventures

Book a round of golf, arrange a sport-fishing charter, or explore guided hiking and desert excursions. Keep the group’s interests, experience, and the day’s weather in mind.

Reserve specific courses and specialist outings ahead, and confirm transport and equipment with the provider.

06

An evening out

Try dinner near the marina, a cocktail with a view, or Cabo San Lucas nightlife. For a quieter evening, browse galleries and dine in San José del Cabo.

Plan your return transport before heading out, especially when visiting the other town.

FIND YOUR STRETCH OF COAST

Beach days,
your way.

01

Médano

A popular Cabo San Lucas beach for a lively day near restaurants and water activities. Swimming depends on local conditions and designated areas.

02

Chileno

A cove along the corridor to consider for swimming and snorkelling when conditions allow.

03

Santa María

A sheltered bay framed by rocky headlands, popular for snorkelling and time by the water.

04

Palmilla

Another protected-cove option to consider when planning a beach outing towards San José del Cabo.

Choose your beach for the activity. Not every Cabo beach is suitable for swimming. Strong surf and currents can affect even familiar spots. Follow beach flags, lifeguards, and local advice on the day; a beautiful shoreline is not a guarantee of safe water.

Official beach guidance

A TASTE OF THE REGION

Good food.
Stories around every corner.

01

Taste Baja

Make room for seafood, tacos, Mexican cooking, and an evening at one of the region’s chef-led restaurants. Mix a special dinner with simpler meals along the way.

02

Farm-to-table dining

Flora Farms, Acre, Tamarindos, and El Huerto are places to explore when planning a garden or farm-inspired meal. Check menus, reservations, and transport before choosing.

03

The San José Art Walk

The Gallery District’s Art Walk traditionally runs on Thursday evenings from November through June. Check the current programme before planning your night around it.

Leave time to browse independent galleries and shops. At the villa, private dining can bring your evening together without another journey.

Wine & Dine at Casa Picasso

BEYOND THE TWO TOWNS

Take the
long way round.

01

Todos Santos

Head up the Pacific coast for galleries, shops, historic streets, and a leisurely meal. Give it a full day if you want to explore without rushing.

02

Cabo Pulmo

A protected marine park on the East Cape, known for reef-based diving and snorkelling. Treat it as a dedicated excursion with advance transport and a local operator.

03

A day in San José

An easy idea for a change of scene: explore the historic centre, browse galleries, and stay for dinner. Add the seasonal Art Walk when it fits your dates.

Day-trip timing depends on the route, traffic, and activity. Ask for a realistic door-to-door plan from the villa before booking.

EVERY SEASON HAS ITS OWN RHYTHM

When will
you make it yours?

01

Winter

Generally milder days and cooler evenings. Consider golf, exploring town, and seasonal whale-watching outings.

02

Spring

Warmer days invite time outdoors and beach visits. The Art Walk season usually continues into June.

03

Summer

Hotter days call for early outings, shaded lunches, and pool time. Leave flexibility for heat and changing weather.

04

Autumn

Warm water and evenings outdoors can be part of the appeal. Weather can still affect excursions, especially during the late-summer and early-autumn storm period.

These are seasonal patterns, not a forecast. Check conditions near your travel dates and confirm weather-dependent activities with the operator.

A FEW DETAILS, TAKEN CARE OF

Before
you arrive.

01

Getting here & getting around

Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), near San José del Cabo, is the main arrival point for many visitors. Arrange your transfer to Casa Picasso before travel, and share your flight and group details.

For days across the region, agree a transport plan rather than assuming the two towns and beaches are within walking distance.

02

What to pack

Bring light clothing, swimwear, sun protection, comfortable walking shoes, and a light layer for evenings. Check your activity provider’s requirements for boat trips, golf, hiking, or diving.

03

What to reserve ahead

Prioritise your villa dates, airport transfers, a special dinner, and any must-do charter or excursion. For groups, share ages, dietary needs, mobility requirements, and preferred pace when planning.

04

Keep the planning simple

Choose one or two highlights, then leave time to enjoy the villa. Our named experience packages offer sample daily plans, with breakfast and cleaning included for the package duration.

The villa rental and experience add-on are priced separately. Activities listed in this destination guide are inspiration, not automatic booking inclusions.
