At land’s end, the Los Cabos area is a contrast of deep sea blue, rugged desert and mountainous landscapes. At the southernmost tip of Baja, California, Los Cabos offers a sunnier and dryer climate than it’s cousins on the eastern coast of Mexico. With climate and geography, Cabo offers up unique activities including visits to national parks, swimming with whale sharks, and whale watching. The perfect scenery for a romantic getaway.
The One & Only Palmilla resort is the utmost in luxury, consistently ranked as one of the top resorts in the world. Service sets this boutique hotel (173 rooms) apart from the others. From the bottle of artisanal tequila waiting for you in your room after check in, butler service, to the poolside foot massages the mood is set for romance. Enjoy the oceanfront infinity pool, the gorgeous indoor and outdoor wellness spa, and tailored excursion just for you (consider one of the Catari Yacht excursions.) The resort is set on one of the only swimmable beaches in Los Cabos. Enjoy whale watching and stargazing right from your room… binoculars are provided in every room. Nearby, the Palmilla Golf Club offers a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus designed golf course.
Choose the Casita Junior Suite and enjoy panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez from your terrace or private infinity-edge pool. Private. Sensuous. Elegant.
Anse Chastanet Beach, St Lucia – Jade Mountain Resort
Probably the most romantic island in the Caribbean, St Lucia is a great honeymoon destination.

This design also means you have the utmost privacy (feel free to skinny dip in your private infinity pool or the outdoor shower.) You will never want to leave the room. Jade Mountain Resort is a celebration of life and love.
