Baja fresh: This Cabo San Lucas hotel is a celebrity oasis

As a master NFL player, now spiraling pigskin arsenic a backup QB for nan Miami Dolphins, Zach Wilson knows his measurement astir a ball. But his fiancée, Nicolette Dellanno, threw an moreover bigger shot recently.

This past March, nan soon-to-be-bride chose Mexico’s lively confederate West Coast — Cabo San Lucas — to statement down pinch gal pals, bachelorette style!

The municipality is wee, wee, wee each nan measurement down nan Sur half of nan hallowed Baja California peninsula, conjoined via walkable corridor pinch its hermano, San José del Cabo, and straddled by nan Pacific Ocean and nan Gulf of California (un-wokely, nan second is known arsenic nan Sea of Cortés).

Dellanno, who announced her engagement to nan erstwhile Jet, 25, past summer, flaunted a achromatic one-piece pinch arsenic she sunbathed astatine SUR Beach House successful CSL, according to an earlier Post report. (Cabo was besides TripAdvisor’s No. 5 world destination to sojourn for Americans successful 2025).

Swimwear and soil aside, nan whys of visiting nan Cabos hermanos stay endless: that famed granitic arch opinionated amid nan surfable sea, nan breaching whales, nan ubiquitous unrecorded music.

But nan “where to laic your head” thing? That’s a much absorbing question.

This sneaker-friendly municipality blends together locals and travelers, taquerias and speakeasies, trade java and top-shelf cuisine. It’s besides a small sketch, successful a bully way.

Certain properties present tin conscionable sleaze distant successful nan breeze, old-school cabeño-style. But a prime fewer are posh, scene-y and classy. One astir of each is almost demurely hiding down its ain open-kitchen, wood-fired, pizza-serving edifice Esquina.

Blanco arsenic blanco tin be, and ever occurrence pit- and light-strand-illuminated astatine night, we called Bahia Hotel & Beach House location (from $133 a night).

But conscionable how, legally, does this boutique furniture agent get distant pinch that full “and Beach House” nomenclature erstwhile it’s virtually squatting connected a very urban, passers-by-in-the-gazillions area portion of downtown Cabo San Lucas?

Because nan brilliant partners (after nan clang of 2008, nary less) Felipe Rebelo and Lee Vosburgh revamped nan ’80s-built associated and tethered it exclusively to that forementioned SUR Beach Club virtually correct down nan road, offering Bahia’s guests privilege seating (read: guaranteed staked shadiness umbrellas, booze-balancing waiters and as-clean-as-they’re-able-to-be chaise lounges) each connected a private, roped-off portion of Medano Beach (the only swimmable 1 successful nan area) pinch a very unsocial side-boob position of its famed aquatic arch.

Just hop their 20-second play cart taxi and abruptly that sweltering Mexican asphalt beneath your feet transforms into sugary soil for illustration magic.

With only 89 (many Jaccuzied) rooms arranged complete a humble six floors, Bahia likes acquainted faces. Loyal guests will often bump fists aliases immoderate nan kids are doing and chitchat pinch nan staffers and owners alike.

If you do task off-site pinch each of those dizzying distractions and ne'er effort 1 of Tacos Gardenia’s fried shelled fare, self-flagellate 39 times for illustration a Benedict monk and travel backmost adjacent summertime to repent. They’re a must (and only a artifact from nan hotel).

Just don’t beryllium worried astir those bloodthirsty Mexican C-words astir these parts — locals present jokingly mention to cartels arsenic “country clubs.” The 1 heavy fortified, maximum prison-looking building connected that long, lonely agelong of cacti-rife onshore betwixt Los Cabos International Airport and CSL you’ll announcement is simply a subject outpost whose camo-clad, albeit reasonably low-key occupants you conscionable mightiness spot astir municipality specifically support them varmints astatine bay. (And PS those prickly water-bloated succulents that hap to populate that immense godforsaken support fires away, too, conscionable successful lawsuit you’re taking notes, America-side California.)

College kids, nan different C-word, however? They haven’t invented a limb beardown capable to stave them disconnected yet. One day.
