Cabo Cool

Planning to get away in '09? consider a sun-soaked stay in Cabo's Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat & Spa.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, sure has skyrocketed in terms of status over the past few years. Snapshots of celebs sunning poolside at the area’s many posh resorts are a tabloid staple. And for Phoenicians, access to this surf-and-sand playground is as simple as a direct flight from Sky Harbor.

Though there are numerous places for visitors to pull up a chaise lounge, including the One&Only Palmilla; Esperanza, an Auberge Resort; and Las Ventanas al Paraiso; one of our favorites is Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Holistic Retreat & Spa, which stylishly strutted onto the scene three years ago. A Zen-like addition to the six other Pueblo Bonito resorts found throughout Mexico, the Pacifica boasts a natural, minimalist setting, where cactuses frame views of the Pacific Ocean, and onyx details shine in the Western sun. In fact, the setting perfectly marries what Cabo is all about: the dusty desert and the sparkling sea.
