Highlighted by a spectacular organic farm restaurant and a gorgeous new seaside boutique hotel, these five activities and destinations should be at the top of every honeymoon must-do list for the Los Cabos region of Mexico.
1. Eat
Flora Farms
Truly an oasis tucked away in the desert hills just outside of San Jose del Cabo, this organic farm serves up some of the best food in all of Baja California. Every dish on the menu is sourced directly from the property, whether it's caesar salad, oven roasted chicken, or wood-fired pizza. Be sure to arrive early and experience Flora's fantastic cocktail bar, shops, farm market, and daily farm tour.

Hacienda Cocina y Cantina
Highlighted by an extensive wine list, many of Mexico's finest tequilas, handcrafted cocktails, plus authentic regional Mexican dishes, Hacienda Cocina y Cantina offers open-air dining and drinks in a laid-back atmosphere right on the beach. On top of breathtaking views of the iconic rock formations at Land's End, newlyweds can reserve tables in the sand for the ultimate romantic experience.

4. Explore
San Jose del Cabo Arts District
Los Cabos isn't all about posh resorts and fun in the sun. The region -- particularly San Jose del Cabo -- offers a tremendous amount of cultural activities worthy of your time. Every Thursday, couples can join the Art Walk in San Jose, a time for strolling the Arts District, visiting galleries, and sampling food and wine. Make plans to arrive early to visit the beautiful Main Square and historic Mission of San Jose del Cabo Church.

5. Visit
Todos Santos
Hit the road and visit the charming town of Todos Santos, located about one hour north of Cabo San Lucas. Despite a modest population of about 5,000, this hidden gem packs in the activities, particularly when it comes to galleries, restaurants, and shopping options. Meanwhile, with frequent art and music festivals, affordable lodging, and world-class surfing, you'll quickly see why this fantastic destination was named one of Mexico's "magical towns."
