6 Tips to Make Your Baja’s East Cape Vacations the Most Memorable Trip Ever

When it comes to luxury excursions, you can’t beat the options that Baja’s East Cape vacations can provide. This seaside escape, located just northeast of Cabo, provides the perfect balance of relaxation, adventure, and pampered living that’s unrivaled for affluent travelers. Your only dilemma will be choosing how to spend your time.

Before you jump in feet first, browse some possibilities to maximize your East Cape vacation. Many find their East Cape vacations better than they could have imagined and turned their trip into permanent residences.

Go exploring

Everyone’s idea of exploring is different. For some on East Cape vacations, it translates to day trips around the region, shopping for local creations, souvenirs, and brand-name fashion while sampling local wines and architecture. For others, exploring is more about adventure; jeeping to a secluded location to camp for the night, hiking to a private oasis, or zip-lining through scenic canopies following a canyon tour by camel or dirt bike.

Prefer a scenic view of the East Cape? Charter a helicopter for the best views of sunset, sea, beaches and landscape.

Enjoy recreation

Want to see the East Cape by horseback? Interested in renting kayaks and jet skis for the family or off-road quad bikes to explore rugged terrain? There are plenty of ways to see the East Cape that doesn’t involve a car.

Just imagine the East Cape vacations you’ll inspire with tales of kiteboarding over the Sea of Cortez with the El Norte winds pushing along the coastline.

Consider yourself a dive enthusiast? Don’t miss your chance to go scuba diving or snorkeling near Cabo Pulmo in the East Cape. There you’ll see one of the oldest and largest living coral reefs in the entire Western Hemisphere! Located in the Sea of Cortez, this national marine sanctuary has the greatest concentration of marine life in the area.

Charter a boat

Whether you’re looking to lounge on a yacht in the sun, go fishing in style for a weekend, or scuba diving for the day, East Cape vacations are not complete without a boat charter.

Let the experienced local teams serve as your guide. From snorkeling equipment, sea scooters and fishing gear to paddleboards, wetsuits, meals and even an open bar, you can have every whim catered to while you focus on the sea, sun, and fun.

Glass-bottomed boats give you a glimpse into underwater life. Fishing enthusiasts will have stories to tell from their East Cape vacations thanks to one of the most rich and diverse marine environments in the world. Some of the more plentiful species include tuna and mahi mahi, as well as sailfish and striped, blue and black marlin.

Don’t worry about being a novice. A dedicated fishing manager can take care of all the details on your behalf. Fishing managers can order the charter, ensure all the rods, reels and tackle are fully stocked. They will even arrange meals, docking, demonstrate proper angling techniques and process your catch. Some of the resorts even provide fillet and freezer services.

Eat at the best restaurants

You can’t get fresher seafood than what’s coming off the boats in the East Cape. Some of the most world-renowned chefs call the East Cape their home. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more international offering in terms of cuisine.

If you’re lucky enough to stay at the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, you can’t miss the opportunity to eat at Estiatorio Milos. This restaurant is arguably one of the best Mediterranean seafood establishments in the world.

Founded by chef Costas Spiliadis, you’ll enjoy the freshest local ingredients prepared with an international flair, all while dining on the beach. Estiatorio Milos is only one of the Costa Palmas Resort’s five concept restaurants. All restaurants are dedicated to using not only the freshest seafood but also local meat and organic ingredients, many of which are sourced from the resort’s 18-acre farm.

Other must-try experiences include El Navegante in Buenavista and Umi Sushi Bar at hotel Palmas De Cortez. At El Navegante you can dine on ceviche pescado, chile rellenos or soup made from on-site freshwater. Umi Sushi Bar provides breathtaking views for customers while they dine on nigiri, sashimi, civiche, yakimeshi and teppanyaki.

Play golf

With near-perfect weather year-round, it makes sense the broader Cabo area would host some of the best golf in the world. It wasn’t until 2019 that the East Cape got its first golf course, Costa Palmas Golf Club.

The course features views of the Sea of Cortez, perfectly manicured greens, sand dunes and experienced caddies to serve you. The layout is designed to not only heighten your game, but also mesmerize.

The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II. He referred to Costa Palmas as a “golf symphony composed of three movements.” The masterpiece is part of the Costa Palmas Resort. The Resort is a private community you’ll want to check out for both East Cape vacations and possible relocations to the region.

Get pampered

What do massages, facials, and mani-pedis pair well with? Besides champagne, might we suggest swim-up bars and room service? Soak in the hot tubs while you savor fresh shrimp, destress in a steam room or sauna, cool down in a cold plunge pool or bond over an intimate couple’s spa experience with your own private pool.

Many of the hotels in the area have first-class spas or you can opt to hire a masseuse to come to your room.

Much like the expansive views of Baja California Sur, the sky’s the limit for couples, families, and single adventurers when it comes to East Cape vacations. Choose the adventure to fit your mood and every minute of your visit can be catered and customized to create memories that will have you returning to the East Cape for years to come.
