5 Reasons Meeting Profs Love It

Sparkling waters. You simply can’t visit Mexico’s Pacific coast and not meet on the beach. With a wealth of oceanfront hotels and resorts, many of which have their own private beachfront, it’s hard to say no to a reception with your toes in the sand, not to mention while enjoying unbeatable pastel sunsets.

Art and history. From the colorful streets of San José del Cabo, filled with local businesses and art galleries, to Mexican museums and unique archeological sites like Los Toriles in Riviera Nayarit, which has one of the few circular temples in Mesoamérica, to numerous vibrant street murals filling up Puerta Vallarta’s streets, cultural experiences abound, creating an unmatched sense of place.

Gastronomy galore. Wherever you turn, a good meal awaits, from stylish dining experiences to local eateries. All across the Pacific coast, a deep-rooted fishing tradition means world-class seafood, whether from a local shop or a Michelin-star restaurant. Baja California Sur, due to its unique geography of desert, mountains and coastline, offers a culinary tradition with unique flavors, and the entire region’s investment in the farm-to-table approach only makes it that much better.

Unforgettable adventures. Imagine your group kayaking around the iconic Arch of Cabo San Lucas or taking a surf lesson at world-renowned surf spot Cerritos, where even beginners can catch some of the world’s most celebrated waves. Tour operator High Tide Los Cabos offers group packages for both.

Nights to remember. When the sun goes down, venues to make memories open up. All along Puerto Vallarta’s Malecón, Romantic Zone and Los Muertos Beach, discover bars, cafés and nightclubs along cobblestone streets. Los Cabos is celebrated far and wide for its nightlife scene, with everything from beachfront bars to stylish rooftop lounges, like Rooftop 360°, which offers the highest balcony in town.
