When it comes to milestone celebrations, Mar del Cabo by Velas Resorts is setting a new standard for opulence and intimacy. The boutique beachfront haven has introduced its all-new “Birthday Takeover” experience—a fully private, three-night buyout that transforms the entire property into a personalized paradise for the guest of honor and their inner circle. This extraordinary offering combines coastal luxury, curated festivities, and eco-conscious touches, creating an unforgettable celebration against the stunning backdrop of the Sea of Cortez.

A Private Paradise on the Baja Coast

Imagine having 48 elegantly appointed suites entirely to yourself—each featuring airy interiors with artisanal furnishings, locally crafted décor, and ocean-view terraces framed by vibrant bougainvillea. The design blends traditional Mexican charm with contemporary elegance, boasting whitewashed walls, hand-painted tiles, and open social spaces. Guests can gather at the sunlit pool, unwind at the beachfront lounge, or indulge in cocktails at the hotel’s stylish bars. It’s the perfect balance of private villa intimacy with boutique hotel amenities.

 

A Celebration Like No Other

The Birthday Takeover kicks off with a private check-in and an immersive Escalonada procession, inspired by the festive callejoneadas of San Miguel de Allende. Live musicians lead guests along flower-lined paths, stopping at curated stations serving handcrafted cocktails and authentic Mexican bites.

Guests can then enjoy a creative Paint & Play cocktail session, where they design reusable water bottles—an eco-friendly memento of the event—while sipping signature Baja-inspired cocktails. The celebration continues with a guided excursion to San José del Cabo, offering vibrant art galleries, culinary treasures, and local culture.

Day two ramps up the excitement with a luxury yacht adventure in partnership with Cabo Adventures, perfect for snorkeling, sunbathing, and marine life spotting. Back onshore, the group indulges in a lively sunset pool party complete with a live DJ, artisanal cocktails, and a decadent two-hour ceviche bar. The evening culminates in a Grand Birthday Gala Dinner—a four-course culinary journey served al fresco in the lush gardens or directly on the sand, accompanied by live music and starlit ocean views.

Wellness Meets Luxury

The final day focuses on relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests can choose between private Pilates or sound healing sessions, while the guest of honor enjoys an indulgent spa day at the award-winning SE Spa at Grand Velas Los Cabos. This serene escape features the resort’s renowned seven-step hydrotherapy ritual, blending steam rooms, ice rooms, sensory showers, and a vitality pool for ultimate restoration.

The celebration concludes with a beachside Taco Party showcasing authentic Baja flavors and a glowing bonfire under the stars—perfect for final toasts and cherished memories. Professional photography throughout the stay ensures every magical moment is beautifully captured.

Mar del Cabo’s commitment to sustainability shines through the entire experience. From farm-to-table dining at Encanto Farm & Sea, which sources over 90% of ingredients locally, to eco-friendly activities like Paint & Play, the resort ensures your celebration leaves a positive impact.
