Mexico offers many options for destination wedding locations. Cancun is popular among brides and grooms but that also means the resorts there might fill up quickly for the wedding date you had in mind. It also tends to have many resorts along the hotel strip but that also means it tends to feel more crowded than other areas. That’s why we love offering Los Cabos as a suggestion to our clients. Read on to learn what makes Los Cabos so special and why you should consider it for your South Asian destination wedding.
The climate is wonderful all year long.
One of the most important considerations to keep in mind when selecting a location for your destination wedding is that it’s going to be different from your home turf as far as weather goes, and you want to make sure that the climate at the place you choose will be conducive to everything you want to do. The great news is that Los Cabos has an amazing year-round climate, with very little rain, and almost no inclement weather. Temperatures are generally comfortable, without extreme highs or lows, so there’s no need to worry about being too hot or too cold. And the best part? The climate is also very consistent so you won’t be surprised by last-minute weather changes here.
Many direct flights connect Cabo with major cities in the United States.
Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is located just 20 minutes from downtown San Jose del Cabo and about 45 minutes from Cabo San Lucas, making it one of the most convenient airports to access a destination wedding venue.
Many direct flights connect Cabo with major cities in the United States. This makes getting to Los Cabos a much more streamlined experience than flying to other popular Mexican resort destinations, like Cancun and Puerto Vallarta.
The flight duration is shorter too! Flights from Atlanta and Houston are only four hours long, while flights from New York City take only five hours.
The natural rock formations of Los Cabos make for incredible pictures.
One of the main reasons why you should think about a destination wedding in Los Cabos is because of the natural beauty of the rock formations there. There are so many spots that would be great for photos, such as the famous El Arco or The Arch. It’s a world-famous landmark right on the water and the pictures you get will be unique from any other beach wedding.
More open spaces which means better wedding photos.
One of the reasons Los Cabos has been able to keep its authentic feel is because of strict building rules. For example, hotels and local buildings can’t be more than 6 floors high, and there are restrictions on density to ensure that spaces don’t get overcrowded. There are also limits on advertising which means you probably won’t see billboards or signs in your photos. This means that when you’re taking your wedding photos, what you’ll see in the background is ocean, desert and sky for a truly beautiful backdrop.
It encompasses Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo which offer so many unique scenery types.
There’s a reason Los Cabos is one of the most popular wedding destinations in the world. This destination offers an array of stunning backdrops for your special day, from beaches to desert landscapes and everything in between.
If you’re interested in a beautiful beachfront setting, check out the area around Cabo San Lucas. This part of Los Cabos offers tons of gorgeous coastline panoramas that are perfect for those who want a glamorous ceremony and reception.
There are also plenty of picturesque locations to choose from if you prefer a more rustic or boho vibe. For example, many couples like to host their nuptials on the grounds of haciendas sprinkled throughout Los Cabos. And if you want gorgeous desert views as your backdrop, you’ll also find them here, too.
There are plenty of excellent all-inclusive resorts here.
Luckily, Los Cabos has a wide variety of all-inclusive resorts such as Hard Rock Los Cabos. Whether you’re going for five-star luxury or looking for something more budget-friendly (or somewhere in between), you have options. And the best part is that with the boom in South Asian weddings in Mexico over the past several years, it’s much easier than ever before to find the resorts that have experience with South Asian weddings. That also means that finding the vendors you need for your wedding will also be easier because there are many that understand South Asian wedding customs here that are connected to the resorts.
Restaurants, bars, and shopping are just minutes away from resorts.
You can forget about renting a car while you’re here; everything is just minutes from your resort. If you want to spend a day shopping in town, the best shopping spots are close by most any resort you choose. And of course, there are tons of local restaurants to choose from when it comes time to book the rehearsal dinner and after-party if you would rather go off the resort and explore the local area with your guests.
It offers luxury options from excellent resorts to Michelin star restaurants.
If you want a wedding with a luxury vibe, it’s easy to bring that vision to life here. There are top-notch all-inclusive resorts here that can assist with adding on luxury touches such as fireworks and sparklers to your wedding. You can expect first-class service, excellent gourmet meals, and chic, tastefully decorated suites here. And if you want a meal in town, you’ll find Michelin star restaurants close by as well.
You’ll find exciting activities to try in Los Cabos during your destination wedding.
Just take a look at all of the things to do in Los Cabos:
• Surfing. Experts and beginners alike will find endless opportunities for surfing adventures in Los Cabos. Surfers can head out to Zippers beach break, which is popular with surfers of all skill levels, or check out the long left-hand point breaks at Costa Azul beach.
• Diving. The Sea of Cortez is home to some of the best diving in North America. Soak up the natural beauty of underwater arches, caves, reefs and rock pinnacles on a scuba diving trip through The Corridor, where you’ll see turtles and manta rays among other species that live in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Whale Watching. In winter months, humpback whales migrate from Alaska to give birth at the tip of Baja California Sur in Los Cabos — often within sight of both San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas. A whale watching tour gives visitors an opportunity to witness these majestic creatures swimming right past their boat!
• Fishing. “Cabo” means “cape,” which makes perfect sense as you’ll find yourself fishing right off the southern tip where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez here! Dozens of charter boats are available for deep sea fishing expeditions where you can try your hand at reeling in marlin (blue, black or striped), sailfish and tuna among others fish that call these waters home year-round! If you’re feeling extra adventurous on your vacation, book a an overnight charter boat expedition to experience deep sea fishing like never before!
• Golfing. Maybe it’s because golf courses in this region have sweeping views overlooking desert mountains with ocean vistas beyond them? Or maybe it’s because there are more than 20 championship golf courses designed by famous architects such as Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones II — but most likely it’s because they’re amazing
