Best Places to Relax at Pueblo Bonito Resorts

With so little time and so much to do, some of us have a tendency to over-do it on vacation. That’s why, this month, we’ve made it our mission to convince you to reserve plenty of your vacation time for relaxing. Sweet, delicious relaxation can take so many forms at Pueblo Bonito, with the most obvious, perhaps, being a day at Armonia Spa. So, we’ll include that in our list of relaxing destinations, which feature a few of our favorite beaches, as well as one spot that’s so comfortable, comfort is even in its name. So put aside your laundry and to-do list and follow us into the glow of what feels good.

 It doesn’t hurt that as soon as you arrive at Pueblo Bonito Los Cabos Beach Resort, you’re likely to feel as if you’ve landed in the Mediterranean. But those cool blues, warm ochres, and bright whites paint the palette of the Baja Peninsula, deep in the heart of Cabo San Lucas. Affectionately known as “Blanco,” the resort’s gleaming white exterior reflects the sparkling sand of El Médano Beach. And every accommodation, bar, and dining outlet at the 148-room hotel is situated to take full advantage of the iconic views of the distinctive rock formations at Land’s End, including El Arco, Cabo’s awe-inspiring landmark.

El Arco, or “the arch,” is a wildly popular and well photographed stone structure that’s sure to impress. Known far and wide, the naturally formed limestone arch is nature’s way of marking “Land’s End” at the tip of the Baja Peninsula. You can see it from a number of perspectives but perhaps best of all, in daylight from the golden sands of Lover’s Beach. Right next to El Arco, the beach is accessible by boat. As daylight gives way to twilight, we suggest you find a seat in the sand at Médano Beach, on the north side of the cove. Here, you’re guaranteed to capture the incredible sunset in its most favorable light with El Arco silhouetted in the distance. Relax with your love and bask in the glow of a warm sea breeze—like the Mediterranean only better.

 Lending to its peacefulness is the beach’s accessibility; get to Médano Beach in no time by car. Famous for its soft golden sands and warm, calm waters, it’s perfect for a relaxing swim should you arrive with enough time before sunset. So go ahead, build a sandcastle, read a book, or simply enjoy the dazzling sunset.

For the ultimate beachside luxury, reserve a beach cabana, and loll away the afternoon with your feet up. How many ways can we say it? When in Los Cabos…relax! Our private beach cabanas at Pacifica are designed to help you do just that, with the ultimate lounging experience waiting for you under the shade of Los Cabos’ warm sun and gentle breezes. Listen to the surf as you sip and savor a refreshing cocktail or crisp white wine. We believe one of the best ways to relax with your partner is to immerse yourselves in the idyllic land and seascapes around Los Cabos. So, pull your cabana drapes around you, and enjoy each other.

 Over the years, Pacifica has grown to grace a 2.5-mile stretch of unspoiled beach at Land’s End on the Baja Peninsula. Inside, the world-famous Armonia Spa we mentioned, treats Pacifica’s adults-only guestlist to a tranquil and rejuvenating experience unlike any other. Meanwhile, Peninsula, the resort’s signature, open-air Lounge and adjoining restaurant, serve Baja cuisine prepared with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. But nothing compares to the beach! The private beach cabana is ideal for couples who want the privacy of the bedroom next to the surf. When you emerge, try tucking into the Sunset Tepee Experience—a private, four-course meal for two with curated musical accompaniment, craft cocktails, and a photographer to capture the memories.

 Every one of our spa resorts takes pride in claiming Armonia Spa as its own. That goes for Emerald Bay too. Whenever you’re visiting in Mazatlán, it’s a no brainer; enjoy a tranquil and rejuvenating experience at the world-famous Armonia Spa. Holistic spa rituals and body therapies will sweep you off your feet at one of the most beautiful spa resorts in Mexico. You’ll be able to choose from an extensive spa treatment menu of soothing massages, smoothing body scrubs, detoxifying body wraps, facials, and other services. Over the years, masseuses and estheticians at Armonia have built reputations for infusing traditional spa services with cutting-edge health and wellness techniques, and we’re especially proud of our Organic Collection, a menu of 100% organic treatments. The Organic Massage (50 or 80 minutes) uses one of three, organic handmade mousses to unlock the full benefits of a sport or deep tissue massage. They’re perfect for athletes or other fitness enthusiasts keen to target specific problem spots and melt the muscles into relax-mode. The Organic Manicure or Pedicure don’t only exfoliate hands or feet, but also remove impurities and restore the skin’s natural elasticity and vibrancy. Additionally, they use targeted reflexology techniques to heal and balance your facia and nervous system. Of course, to help keep the pressure off, any and all treatments and services at Armonia Spa are customizable to meet your individual needs, ensuring your day is tailor-made just for you.

Finally, back in Los Cabos, we’d like to draw a straight line to comfort during a round of golf at Quivira Golf Club. No, we’re not talking about the links themselves—though a meander through Jack Nicklaus’ award-winning course is sure to pacify any qualms. We’re talking about our Comfort Stations, beckoning golfers to four oases in the rough: one positioned on the range, a second on the clifftops overlooking the water, a third just before the eighth tee, and a fourth at hole #16. Staffed by our celebrated chefs, each comfort station invites golfers to indulge in made-to-order fresh fish tacos, quesadillas, tostadas, and other delicacies, as well as hand-crafted cocktails and beer. Sure, your round may take a little longer, but why rush? An informal golfing experience is sure to grow the appeal of the game for amateurs. Plus, Quivira Golf Club marshals each comfort station to manage pace of play; more serious players with their eyes on the scorecard won’t be inhibited by your need to relax.

How does that sound? Good? Relaxing? Then get back to packing and get yourselves to Cabo San Lucas or Mazatlán so can put your feet up just as soon as you touch down. Book your stay today at Pueblo Bonito Golf & Spa Resorts.
