Cabo San Lucas
Where Desert Meets Sea at Land's End
Where Desert Meets Sea at Land's End
At the very tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, Cabo San Lucas creates a dramatic destination that combines stunning natural beauty with world-class luxury. This is Land's End—El Finisterra—where jagged granite arches rise from turquoise waters and desert landscapes cascade toward pristine beaches. Here, 350 days of sunshine annually provide the backdrop for championship golf courses, luxury resorts that rival anywhere globally, and sport fishing that attracts anglers from around the world seeking marlin, dorado, and tuna in waters that Jacques Cousteau called "the world's aquarium."
Cabo has evolved from a remote fishing village into Mexico's premier luxury destination while maintaining its authentic charm and natural splendor. The contrast defines the experience—morning yoga on pristine beaches followed by championship golf, afternoon spa treatments that incorporate indigenous treatments, and evenings that range from sophisticated fine dining to vibrant celebrations that capture Mexican joie de vivre. This is a destination where you can swim with whale sharks at sunrise and sip world-class tequila while watching the sun set through the famous Arch at sunset, all in the same extraordinary day.
SJD serves as the gateway to the entire Los Cabos corridor, handling both commercial and private aviation with facilities that reflect Mexico's growing sophistication in luxury tourism. Located 30 miles north of Cabo San Lucas and 8 miles from San José del Cabo, the airport provides excellent private aviation services including customs and immigration processing, aircraft maintenance, and ground handling. The modern terminal and professional staff ensure smooth operations for aircraft of all sizes.
Multiple FBOs compete to provide premium services, while the airport's strategic location makes it a popular refueling stop for aircraft traveling the Pacific coast of the Americas. Ground transportation options include luxury transfers, helicopter services for ultimate convenience, or rental cars for those planning to explore the entire Los Cabos corridor. The scenic drive to Cabo San Lucas provides the first taste of Baja's dramatic desert-meets-ocean beauty.
The iconic granite arch of Los Cabos creates one of the world's most recognizable natural landmarks, where massive rock formations sculpted by wind and waves mark the southernmost tip of Baja California. Lover's Beach (Playa del Amor) provides access to calm Sea of Cortez waters, while the Pacific side delivers dramatic waves and rugged beauty. Water taxis provide easy access, while luxury yacht charters offer sunset cruises that showcase the arch's changing colors as day transitions to night. The area around Land's End offers some of the world's best snorkeling and diving opportunities.
Cabo San Lucas has earned legendary status among sport fishing enthusiasts, where the convergence of Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez creates extraordinary marine diversity. Charter boats pursue marlin, sailfish, dorado, and yellowfin tuna in waters that produce record catches year-round. The modern marina provides world-class facilities for fishing boats of all sizes, while professional crews with decades of experience ensure successful adventures. Annual fishing tournaments attract international competitors, while catch-and-release practices help preserve these remarkable fisheries for future generations.
The Los Cabos corridor offers more than a dozen championship golf courses that take advantage of dramatic desert and ocean settings. Cabo del Sol's Ocean Course provides cliff-top holes with Pacific views, while the Desert Course offers inland beauty with mountain backdrops. Quivira Golf Club's clifftop location creates one of Mexico's most spectacular golf experiences. El Dorado Golf Club challenges players with desert terrain and strategic water features, while newer additions like TPC Danzante Bay expand options for golf enthusiasts seeking variety and excellence.
The Cabo San Lucas Marina buzzes with activity where luxury yachts moor alongside sport fishing boats, creating a nautical atmosphere that's both working harbor and playground for the wealthy. The marina district offers upscale shopping, fine dining, and nightlife that ranges from sophisticated cocktail lounges to energetic clubs that celebrate until dawn. The nearby downtown area maintains authentic Mexican character with local markets, family-run restaurants, and cultural experiences that provide genuine connections to Baja California's heritage and hospitality.
Cabo's resort collection represents the pinnacle of Mexican luxury hospitality. The Resort at Pedregal provides cliff-top luxury with private beaches accessible through mountain tunnels. Las Ventanas al Paraíso offers intimate luxury with personalized service and stunning Sea of Cortez views. Grand Velas Los Cabos provides all-inclusive luxury that rivals any global resort, while Montage Los Cabos combines contemporary design with Mexican cultural elements. Each property offers world-class spas, multiple dining venues, and amenities that cater to the most discerning international clientele.
Cabo San Lucas enjoys year-round appeal with consistent sunshine and comfortable temperatures. October through May delivers the most comfortable weather with warm days, cool evenings, and minimal rainfall—perfect for golf, fishing, and outdoor activities. Peak season runs from December through April when North American visitors escape winter weather, creating the busiest but most vibrant atmosphere.
Summer months (June-September) bring higher temperatures and humidity, along with the possibility of tropical storms, but also better resort rates and excellent fishing conditions. Hurricane season requires flexible planning, though Cabo's position often provides protection from major storms. Marlin season peaks in fall, while whale watching season (December-April) adds another dimension to the Cabo experience with gray whales migrating through local waters.
Commercial flights to Los Cabos often require connections through major Mexican or U.S. hubs, consuming precious vacation time with layovers and potential delays. Private aviation eliminates these inconveniences, providing direct flights from anywhere in North America to SJD's excellent facilities. The time savings can be significant—what might take 6-8 hours commercially often requires just 2-4 hours privately from Western U.S. origins.
Mexican customs and immigration processing through private terminals eliminates the crowds and delays of commercial arrival procedures, getting you to your resort quickly and refreshed. The proximity to Southern California makes Cabo particularly attractive for weekend escapes, while the destination's luxury infrastructure accommodates extended stays for business retreats or family gatherings. Many visitors appreciate the flexibility private aviation provides for adjusting schedules based on fishing conditions, weather, or simply the desire to extend a perfect vacation.
