When people think of Cabo, many conger-up images of wild partying and dancing on bars until dawn. And during Spring Break season, they imagine that squared. But this storied Mexican town actually has a romantic, and even whimsical, side. I stumbled upon this getaway on an evening stroll. Casa Bella Boutique Hotel is the perfect getaway for a couple—whether they’re on their honeymoon or celebrating decades of being together.

With only ten rooms, this hacienda-style paradise feels like it belongs in a golden age. All the rooms open onto a courtyard bordered with lush vegetation. The swimming pool nestled into the back feels secluded. Yet, the hotel is just across the square from the landmark Restaurante Mi Casa, and only blocks from El Squid Roe, the night club, dance hall, and restaurant in the heart of town where “anything goes and everyone feels at home.”
