The comfortable amenities of a family-friendly beach resort combined with the warmth of Mexico make Villa del Arco Beach Resort & Spa ideal for destination weddings. The property’s three seven-story buildings front El Médano Beach in Cabo San Lucas, with balconies facing El Arco—the resort’s namesake arch—rising from the Sea of Cortez off the very tip of the Baja peninsula.

Most couples exchange vows on the beach against a backdrop of golden sand, azure sea and wind- and wave-carved El Arco—a wedding photographer’s dream come true. Package features include expert event coordination; rehearsal, reception and farewell dinners; flowers, champagne and wedding cake; a private candlelight dinner on the beach; and a special wedding night turndown service involving aromatherapy and flowers on the bed. The packages also feature Noche Romantica, an in-room massage for two accompanied by flowers, candles, sparkling wine and fresh strawberries.

Newlyweds find themselves at the perfect honeymoon spot after the wedding: between the ultraluxurious Villa la Estancia Beach Resort & Spa and the activity-rich Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa. All three resorts share a gated enclave owned and operated by The Villa Group. While a San Francisco–style trolley carries guests between the attractions of Villa del Arco and Villa del Palmar, a 15-minute walk leads to the world-famous shopping, dining and nightlife of downtown Cabo San Lucas.

At home, the activities desk arranges for off-site ATV and motorcycle rentals, deep-sea fishing, championship golf, horseback riding, desert hiking, mountain biking, whale watching and ocean sports. Onsite activities range from swimming or soaking up the sun at the beach or pools to indulging at The Desert Spa, a 31,000-square-foot pleasure palace dedicated to European-style beauty treatments, hydrotherapy and fitness.

Along with the spa, two restaurants and a pirate-themed swim-up bar, the resort offers wedding parties a choice of vacation-ownership studios and one- to three-bedroom suites. All come with fully equipped kitchens, modern Mexican decor, daily housekeeping and 24-hour room service. Perfect for intimate celebrations with friends or family, the three-bedroom Penthouse Suite sports a 20-foot domed ceiling in the living room and a wraparound terrace with built-in Jacuzzi, barbecue area and breathtaking views of the ocean and El Arco.
