Real Baja

"Real" in Spanish means "royal", and certainly this honeymoon lives up to its description. You will have the opportunity to stay in two wonderful, but very different hotels in two very different areas. Together, your honeymoon will be filled with relaxation, fine dining, pampering and even a bit of adventure.

Only a few hours by air from most US cities, Baja is a place like no other in Mexico - desert beauty, rugged mountains, dramatic coastline and some terrific resorts. Posada la PozaUpon arrival, you will head north to the relatively undiscovered town of Todos Santos, an eclectic and laid back artist community. Here you will find your home for the next few days, Posada la Poza.

This intimate hideaway is the perfect place to...

relax and unwind. While activities are available, the primary forms of entertainment here involve reading, gazing at the sea, taking long walks on endless stretches of (deserted) beach, and dining at Posada's highly-regarded restaurant. If you enjoy seclusion and understated luxury, this is your spot.

After re-energizing in Todos Santos...

it's time to move south to the popular resort area of Los Cabos. The place to stay: Las Ventanas al Paraiso, one of the top boutique resorts in all of Mexico. In English, its name translates to "The Windows to Paradise", and after seeing, experiencing and being here together, you will understand its meaning, and certainly each other, intimately.

You may find an overwhelming desire to...

never leave your suite - decorated elegantly and comfortably like the vacation home of your dreams. Perhaps though, you might just have to come out of your respite to swim up to the bar and share a cocktail, or better yet, dine at sunset as the ocean blends in with the infinity pool. In addition to relaxation, you will have access to an incredible spa, world-class golf (try the Jack Nicklaus Signature course at the Palmilla Golf Club), gourmet food, beautiful beaches, water sports, and nightlife. In Los Cabos, you can be more active (if desired), or simply enjoy the luxurious facilities of Las Ventanas!
