Anniversary Trip to Cabo: Romantic Ideas We Actually Recommend
Romantic anniversary trip ideas for Cabo: sunset dinners on the Corridor, farm dinners in San José, a Todos Santos day, and when to go for whales.
Isabella· Cabo Editorial Team4 min read
An anniversary trip works best when you plan two or three moments and leave the rest open. In Cabo that means one sunset dinner, one long farm lunch, and one day away from the crowds. Here is how we would build it for a couple we like, with the places we send our own friends.
The sunset dinner
Sunset Monalisa
This is the anniversary table in Los Cabos. It sits at km 6 on the Corridor with the Arch in view, serves Mediterranean fine dining at a $$$$ price level, and opens at 4pm so you can be seated before the light goes. A 4.5 rating from over 2,100 reviews. There is a fireplace for the cool nights, rooftop seating, and a wine list that earns the bill. Book it before you book your flights in high season.
El Farallon
Cliffside on Camino del Mar, open 3pm to 11pm, $$$$, and a 4.5 from close to a thousand reviews. It is quieter than Sunset Monalisa and the waves are right under you. The wine list and the desserts are the two things people mention most. Ask for a table on the edge.
Edith's Restaurante
A short walk from Medano on Av. del Pescador, Edith's is the classic Mexican dinner in town: $$$$, open 5pm to 10pm, live music most nights, and a 4.5 from about 1,170 reviews. Our listing tags it romantic and historic, which is exactly right. This is the one for a couple who wants tableside flair and a mariachi moment.
The long farm lunch in San José
Flora Farms
Out at Las Ánimas Bajas, just past San José del Cabo. Everything on the plate grew within sight of your table. It is $$$, holds a 4.7 from around 3,400 reviews, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday, with a 10am to 2pm Sunday service. Closed Monday. Go for a late lunch, walk the grounds after, and do not plan anything else that afternoon.
Acre Restaurant
The other farm in the same valley, on Rincón de las Animas. Open 11:30am to 10pm most days, $$$, a 4.6 from about 1,600 reviews, with a fireplace and a rooftop bar for a drink before dinner. If Flora is booked, Acre is not a consolation prize. It is a coin flip.
SAGE Baja
Back in the San José art district on Morelos, SAGE is a $$ farm-to-table room with a 4.8 from around 900 reviews, open 5pm to 11pm. Smaller and calmer than the farms, and the best rating-to-price ratio on this list. Pair it with the Thursday art walk if your dates line up.
The downtown date night
Salvatore G's
Italian, downtown Cabo San Lucas on Vicente Guerrero, $$$, open 11am to 10:30pm (from 4pm on Sunday). A 4.8 from close to 2,000 reviews, which is the highest rating of any $$$ room we list in town. Handmade pasta, a good wine list, and desserts worth the extra hour.
Romeo & Julieta
On Blvd. Paseo de la Marina, $$, open 4pm to 11pm, a 4.6 from around 1,400 reviews. Wood-fired Italian with a rooftop and live music. The name does half the work on an anniversary and the kitchen does the rest.
Daikoku
If you would rather do sushi, Daikoku in Plaza Nautica on the Marina is $$$, open 1pm to 11pm, a 4.5 from just over a thousand reviews, and has a fireplace and a quiet room. The calm option after a loud day on Medano.
The day away: Todos Santos
About 90 minutes up the Pacific side. Walk the streets around the old mission in the morning, then eat. Oystera on Benito Juárez is a $$$ oyster bar with rooftop seating and a 4.6 from about 1,500 reviews, open 10am to 9pm most days. Jazamango on Los Naranjos is $$ farm-to-table, a 4.5 from around 1,140 reviews, open 1pm to 9pm and closed Tuesday. Pick one, drive back before dark.
When to go
- November through April is the sweet spot: warm days, dry air, cool evenings for a fireplace table.
- December through April is whale season. A morning on the water with humpbacks is the kind of thing you talk about for years.
- Summer is hot and humid, with a hurricane season from June to September. Prices ease, crowds thin, and the sunsets are still the sunsets.
Practical notes
- Book Sunset Monalisa, El Farallon and Flora Farms a week or more ahead in high season. Tell them it is an anniversary when you book.
- Pre-arrange your airport transfer from SJD so the trip starts calm.
- Tip 15 to 20 percent. Small peso notes make it easy.
