Picture it all: white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and sweeping views of El Arco, all setting the tone for our recent media group travel incentive in Los Cabos, Mexico. Hosted at Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos, this exciting travel incentive allowed guests to enjoy unstructured downtime alongside intentional group experiences, both in intimate dining settings at the hotel and at local favorite Flora Farms. The beautiful destination of Mexico delivered exactly what a media incentive should offer: strong settings for connection and memorable experiences.
So, which experiences and accommodations defined five unforgettable days at one of Cabo’s most luxurious boutique hotels for our guests?
The Itinerary of Cabo
Day 1: Guests arrived and were welcomed with a private group check in at Grand Velas’ 51 Bar, setting a relaxed and elevated tone of their trip. That evening, the group gathered for a Welcome Cocktail Reception at the Grand Velas Poolside Pergola, followed by an evening at leisure to settle in and enjoy the beautiful property.
Day 2: A full day at leisure gave guests the freedom to personalize their experience. Some chose to unwind at the resort, enjoying dining, cocktails, and the spa, while others explored Cabo through snorkeling, boating, whale watching, and ATV excursions.
Day 3: Another flexible day allowed guests to continue exploring at their own pace before coming together for a memorable group dinner at Flora Farms. This farm to table experience included opportunities for farm tours with an herbalist, art and cooking classes, shopping, and seasonal activities, all set in a uniquely local environment.
Day 4: Guests enjoyed their final full day at leisure before gathering for a Farewell Reception on the Luna Terrace, one of the hotel’s most beautiful dining settings overlooking the Sea of Cortez. The space provided a perfect backdrop to connect and celebrate the shared experience before heading home.
Day 5: Guests departed Cabo recharged and inspired, bringing the experience full circle.
Experiencing Grand Velas Boutique Hotel
Our media group enjoyed a curated mix of Grand Velas accommodations, including Garden Suites, Ambassador Ocean View Suites, Sunrise Suites, and Grand Class King Suites. Each space offered a combination of ocean or garden views, along with elevated features such as private fire pits, plunge pools, and indoor and outdoor jacuzzis.
Inside the suites, guests found luxury touches designed to enhance their comfort and relaxation. Welcome wine and mezcal, a fully stocked minibar, aromatherapy diffusers, and a customizable pillow menu created a personalized stay. Nightly turndown service added another layer of care, while Molton Brown bath amenities, Vitamin C showers, and Dyson hair tools elevated the in room experience. Additional features such as Nespresso Vertuo coffee makers, gourmet teas, goose down bedding, plush robes, and electric curtains ensured every detail was considered.
Beyond the suites, the boutique hotel experience offered both exclusivity and access. Guests enjoyed a private beach, an outdoor infinity pool, a fitness center, and a full service spa and wellness center. All inclusive dining and beverages allowed for a seamless experience, while access to Grand Velas Los Cabos expanded options to additional restaurants, bars, pools, and the renowned SE Spa.
