Cabo Cheat Sheet

KKTWW Cabo Cheat Sheet

A long-cherished coastal escape for West Coasters (especially Hollywood’s high-flying elite), Los Cabos is more accessible than ever thanks to expanded airlift with direct flights from 3 different countries and 23 U.S. states! This sun-drenched sanctuary at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula is calling East Coast and Midwest jetsetters looking to trade their steamy city summers for something a little spicier—a coastal desert escape.
 
Another reason to say sí to Los Cabos? Beyond its vibrant culinary scene, buzzy nightlife, and dramatic desert-meets-the-sea backdrop, the region has rolled out a wave of new luxury hotel openings—many from our preferred partners, meaning KKTWW  travelers enjoy exclusive perks, on the casa. Whether you’re craving a scene-y weekend on the Sea of Cortez or a romantic boutique retreat tucked into the Baja mountains, our thoughtfully curated Cabo cheat sheet has you covered.
