Tucked between the desert and the sea, Los Cabos is best known for its glamorous beach resorts and vibrant nightlife. But lately, it’s become a rising hotspot for something entirely different—wellness. If you’re looking to press pause, breathe deeply, and give your body and mind the break they deserve, a wellness weekend in Los Cabos is exactly what you need.
Whether you’re a seasoned yogi, a green juice fanatic, or simply someone who needs a few days to reset, this guide walks you through the perfect 3-day itinerary to detox, recharge, and glow. And of course, we’ll show you why staying in one of our vacation rentals is the ideal way to immerse yourself in calm and comfort.
Day 1: Arrival & Relaxation Rituals
Your wellness journey starts the moment you arrive. After your flight, skip the stress of hotel check-ins and step straight into your tranquil retreat—one of our thoughtfully designed vacation rentals in Los Cabos. From airy beachfront apartments to lush garden hideaways, each property is handpicked for serenity and style.
Settle In with Intention
Once you’ve dropped your bags, take a few moments to ground yourself. Light a candle or incense (many of our properties include a small welcome wellness kit), prepare an herbal tea, and sit out on your terrace to take in the sights and sounds—rolling waves, desert breeze, and golden light.
✨ Tip: Try a simple grounding meditation for 10 minutes. Sit in silence, breathe in for four counts, hold for four, breathe out for four, and repeat.
Evening Sound Bath or Gentle Yoga
Ease into the evening with a gentle yin yoga flow or a guided sound bath (we recommend downloading a free app like Insight Timer or hiring a local yoga teacher to visit your rental). Keep things light with a nourishing dinner—either something simple from your own kitchen or order in from a local healthy restaurant like Smoothie Bar Cabo or La Rana Vegana.
Day 2: Nourish, Move & Explore
Today is all about reconnecting with your body through movement and nutrition. Wake up early, open the windows to the ocean air, and flow into a revitalizing day.
Sunrise Yoga by the Sea
There’s nothing quite like practicing yoga with the sunrise over the Sea of Cortez. Head to Chileno Bay or Palmilla Beach, where the sands are clean and the waters calm. Pack a light mat or towel, wear your comfiest activewear, and greet the morning with sun salutations.
🧘♀️ Prefer a class? Try “Yoga on the Beach Cabo” or book a private session at your rental.
Power Breakfast: Clean & Colorful
After your morning movement, refuel with a bright, antioxidant-rich breakfast. Head to The Green Room in San José del Cabo for smoothie bowls topped with chia, cacao nibs, and tropical fruits. Or whip up your own in your rental’s fully equipped kitchen—most local markets carry fresh papaya, dragon fruit, and local honey.
Midday Nature Therapy
Los Cabos isn’t just about the beach. For a more grounded connection to nature, take a walk through the Desert Park Natural Reserve. This lesser-known gem features trails among cactus forests, desert wildflowers, and panoramic ocean views. Pack a water bottle, a hat, and your journal—nature has a way of unlocking thoughts you didn’t know you needed to release.
Feeling more adventurous? Try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the calm waters of Santa María Bay for a full-body workout and a peaceful ocean connection.
Lunch & Self-Care
Stop by Farm to Table or Café Organico for a fresh, plant-forward lunch with local ingredients. Choose something that energizes you without making you sluggish—think lentil salads, grilled fish with greens, or superfood smoothies.
Then head back to your rental for an afternoon of rest or reading. This is your time to listen to what your body needs.
Day 3: Cleanse & Glow
By now, you’re already feeling lighter, more rested, and more in tune with yourself. Today is about pampering, beauty rituals, and bringing your inner glow to the surface.
Slow Morning + Lemon Water Detox
Start with warm lemon water to flush your system and support digestion. Enjoy a slow morning—perhaps journaling on the patio, stretching, or doing a face mask (bring your favorite or try a local natural brand from one of the wellness shops in town).
Spa Day: Los Cabos Edition
Book a treatment at one of the area’s top spas. We highly recommend:
- The Spa at Esperanza – famous for their cactus and sea salt body wraps and ocean-view treatment rooms.
- SE Spa at Grand Velas – holistic therapies including hydrotherapy circuits, meditation pods, and herbal scrubs.
- Las Ventanas al Paraíso – offers crystal facials and desert aromatherapy massages in a zen-inspired sanctuary.

Sunset Glow Moment
End your weekend with a slow walk along Santa María Beach or toast the sky from your balcony as the sun melts into the ocean. For your final dinner, treat yourself to a beautiful, nourishing meal at Acre Baja or hire a private chef to prepare something local and organic, served candlelit on your terrace.
