Once in a blue moon…

A chef and an actor came together 

Here on a private stretch of oceanside beach with clear views of the star-filled night sky, Nobu Hotel guests gather with us to gaze at the biggest, brightest moon we’ve ever seen. 

Like a Blue Moon, The Nobu Hotel where we’re staying is unique. Passionately crafted and personally nurtured by Robert De Niro and Chef Nobu Matsuhisa its’ contemporary Japanese minimalism seamlessly blends with locally sourced Mexican materials and finishes. With first class amenities, 200 rooms (103 suites and 97 standard) year-round sunshine and there is now, a whole new option here for Canadians looking for short or long stay Mexican vacations.

The famous duo’s latest additions worth exploring, especially for families, 60 residential two, three, and four bedrooms condo-style rental accommodations. Seamlessly blended into the spacious grounds, they’ve been curated to offer guests the perfect fusion of independence, architectural elegance and laid-back luxury. Sixty Nobu Residences have access to hotel amenities for the full vacation experience. Some suites offer impressive golf course views and, for those who like variety, there are also four good size pools located on the property including infinity pools, private swim-up and beach cabanas as well as a collection of super cabanas equipped with a full bathrooms day beds, living areas, and televisions.

An admirable collection of eateries and bars with their own culinary garden is led by Nobu’s signature fine dining restaurant where the latest in Japanese fusion comes to live in an extensive menu of inventive dishes and bold cocktails. Adorned with gold cherry blossom décor, washi paper art and traditional lanterns, its got an elegant vibe of its own. Two additional options are joyful alternatives: Pacific Restaurant is Mexican all the way with friendly a-la-carte service and traditional taco and mezcal pairings: Ardea Steakhouse—A laid back trendy outpost that offers a lively dining experience. Here magical flavours, coupled with novel mixology set the stage.

Los Cabos is heralded as a water activity destination but, given the “no swim” advisory due to the Pacific’s coastal rip tides why not tee off at the Dunes at Diamante, designed by Davis Love III. Seventeen is a signature hole that checks all the boxes with perfect views.

Apres your round, visit Esencia. Recently opened with 13 treatment rooms, salon services, indoor sauna and steam areas, a outdoor hydrotherapy garden, water circuit, experiential shower, and a 24 hour gym you’ll find its all the relaxation you need.

If you really must dip your feet into the ocean, according to locals, the best place to swim is ocean is Medano Beach. Still curious? Take a water taxi across the bay to Lover’s Beat on the Sea of Cortez side. Or, if the spirit moves you Divorce Beach can be reached through a break in the rocks on the Pacific coast.
