SHOPPING

Feel the salt spray while plying the waters of a shallow reef system on a kayak or even scuba dive deep into one of the shipwrecks just offshore. Come sundown, the party scene heats up in Cabo San Lucas. Of course, you could always opt to simply sit back at a more serene spot in San José del Cabo or The Corridor. So where do you set up shop? Here’s a guide.

SERENE & CULTURED

With its signature artistry, San José del Cabo attracts would-be home buyers to claim their space amid natural splendor and 18th century charm. Golf reigns supreme in this area, where well-manicured and challenging courses abound, but that’s not all there is. Just a 20-minute drive from the international airport, San José del Cabo’s properties offer easy transfers for retirees and visitors eager to get to their vacation homes quickly. Nature lovers relish the bird watching and underwater options available at the San José del Cabo Estuary, where thousands of species of resident and migratory birds fly high as brightly colored fish supply spectacular underwater scenery.

Residents can take their pick from incredibly well-appointed properties within gated communities in close proximity to exquisite shopping options. Retail destinations include Marina Puerto Los Cabos and the shops at Club Campestre, along with all the galleries and boutiques that line the downtown area.

EASY ACCESS: Los Cabos is just a flight away from many U.S. and Canadian cities, and with two airports in the area, getting from the tarmac to your doorstep is a breeze: Just book a transfer with a destination management company (DMC) like Mexico Planners.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT

Hustling, bustling, glimmering and shining, Cabo San Lucas is no doubt the crown jewel in Los Cabos’ landscape. Attracting the Hollywood elite and cosmopolitan travelers looking for world-class dining and nightlife, the Cabo San Lucas scene beckons you to get your groove on, indulge in spectacular dining and sample the high-flying adventures. You can do it all in Cabo San Lucas, which is home to both upscale properties and affordable condominiums — around Marina Cabo San Lucas and throughout the city itself.

Stroll along eclectic Médano Beach or take a quiet walk along Lover’s Beach under the impressive rock formations. Many options are available to all budgets to either own or rent, and time-shares are plentiful. Along the Pacific Coast, master-planned communities offer residents more than just a roof over their heads, with extraordinary amenities that go way beyond the standard gym and community pool. World-class golf, award-winning dining and an inspired menu of activities and programming take living arrangements to the next level.

Shopping is an artform in Los Cabos, where markets showcase indigenous silverware, leather goods, local crafts and decorative home accents, along with high-end designer labels. Heading to Luxury Avenue for a day of haute shopping can easily segue into the legendary nightlife Cabo San Lucas offers.

An added bonus is that travelers do not have to fly into Los Cabos international airport, as the private airport in the immediate area allows for easy access to any properties within the city.

AT THE CROSSROADS

Home to some of the most decadent resorts and toniest

communities in Los Cabos, The Corridor also offers a wealth of options for the interested real estate buyer.

Local shopping is also easy, thanks to The Shoppes at Palmilla and the lively Koral Center, where you can find the Merkado Centro Gastronómico food hall.
