Planning a trip to Cabo?
Always carry plenty of bottled water, baby-safe sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat for your little one. While the sun is glorious, it's very strong here. Also, consider bringing a light stroller or carrier for exploring, and remember that our luxury concierge can arrange for any specific baby gear rentals you might need.
For families with a baby, the ideal time to visit Cabo is during our dry, cooler season from November to April. This period offers pleasant temperatures and low humidity, making outdoor activities and beach time much more comfortable for infants and parents alike. Avoid the summer months (June-September) due to higher temperatures, humidity, and the possibility of hurricanes.
