What Cabo Bello is like

Cabo Bello is homes and villas rather than hotels, spread between the highway and the sea just past the edge of Cabo San Lucas. It's quiet at night, and you're a short drive from both downtown and the corridor coves. Santa María and Chileno, the two best snorkeling beaches in Los Cabos, are around 10 minutes further east.

Nearby on the corridor, Sunset Monalisa is the splurge dinner with a view back to El Arco, and Manta at The Cape is a few minutes away.

Getting to Cabo Bello from Villa 1

About 7 km east of Villa 1 on Highway 1, 10 to 15 minutes by car or taxi. Coming back toward Cabo San Lucas you may need to use a retorno (U-turn lane) depending on which side of the highway you're on.
