Los Cabos, which is situated at the southernmost tip of California’s Baja Peninsula, is the number one celebrity hotspot in Mexico, attracting A-listers such as Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney and more. Its breathtaking beaches and natural rock formations—especially the famous Los Arcos—award-winning spas, sprawling PGA seaside golf courses, Michelin five-star restaurants and wild nightlife make the two-hour flight from Los Angeles (or anywhere for that matter) well worth it for the who’s who in the Hollywood crowd.
To ring in 2012 in style, George Clooney whisked his lady love, Stacy Keibler, away via private jet to his secluded villa at the exclusive El Dorado Golf and Beach Club in Cabo San Lucas. The 18-hole championship Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, which offers mesmerizing views of the azure Sea of Cortez, is ranked one of the top courses in the world and has hosted some of the best pro golfers on the green, including Tiger Woods.

A sailboat, a water taxi or a glass-bottom boat are three exciting ways for visitors to get from Cabo San Lucas marina to the very private, picturesque Playa del Amor or Lover’s Beach.

On the other side of Lover’s Beach facing the Pacific Ocean is Divorce Beach named for the dangerous undertows and violent crashing waves. Hidden caves and rock formations made this beach one-of-a-kind.
