CABO SAN LUCAS, MXNOVEMBER 11-15

Cabo San Lucas | (800) 822-4194 | 57

Located on the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Los Cabos is a destination of stunning natural contrasts, where the harshness of the desert mountains meets the fertile waters of the Gulf of California. The two towns that comprise Los Cabos are a world of contrasts. San José del Cabo is a quiet, traditional Mexican town with cobbled streets, art galleries, boutiques, and intimate dining venues. Cabo San Lucas—just to the west—is the home of nightlife and entertainment. No need to choose between the two; they’re just a few miles apart, so you can relax and drink in the charm of old Mexico one day, and seek out some nightlife the next. The strip of coastline between two Cabos is known for its pristine beaches and multiple championship golf courses. If you’d like to try your hand at deep-sea fishing, the waters surrounding the peninsula are renowned by anglers worldwide. We’ll be staying at Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos near San José del Cabo, located on the beach and in close proximity to whatever you choose to do.

HYATT ZIVA LOS CABOS Located beachside on the Sea of Cortez and within minutes of downtown San Jose del Cabo, Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos is an all-inclusive, family-friendly resort that serves as the perfect location to explore Los Cabos. The Hyatt Ziva Los Cabosgives you 12 restaurants, bars, and lounges to choose from when you aren’t relaxing by the pool, playing golf, or lounging on the beach. It’s the perfect place to relax and spoil yourself after a long day of exploring all that Baja has to offer.

MAUI, HINOVEMBER 18-22

Few places on earth—if any—can match the beauty of Maui. Towering, volcanic peaks give way to immaculate beaches and turquoise waters, every bit earning the moniker “paradise.” While most of us dream of the beach, you’ll want to explore the interior as well. Haleakalā National Park offers visitors a chance to visit a dormant volcano overlooking the bamboo forest in the West Maui Mountains; Wai’ānapanapa State Park will take you to some of the world’s most beautiful coastline; Iao Valley State Monument will lead you through lush flora to the place of an ancient battlefield. And of course, the beaches are as plentiful as they are stunning, all framed by water with a perfect hue. We’ll stay beachside at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua, which you can use as a base to choose your own Maui adventure.

THE RITZ-CARLTON KAPALUA Resplendent luxury to match the incredible natural beauty of its surroundings is the calling card of the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. Fine dining, championship golf, a Hawaiian-inspired spa, and multiple on-site recreational activities are just a few of the reasons this is the place to stay in Maui.
