Cabo San Lucas

Rumour has it that Jennifer Aniston, the star of “Friends” and her boyfriend, Justin Theroux plan to get married soon in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “Jennifer goes to Cabo very year. She thinks that is the ideal place for her wedding,” shares one of her close friends, according to hotonline.net.

“Jen loves the idea of just taking of to Cabo and getting married in a sundress barefoot on the beach,” the insider explains. It’s undeniable that even Jennifer has fallen for the charms of Cabo San Lucas. And she’s not the only one – George Clooney was recently seen vacationing there, while Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba are also some of the frequent visitors.

Like thousands of other tourists who visit this part of Mexico each year, they are drawn to the 365 days of sunshine and miles of beautiful beaches plus world-class dive sites. Located at the tip of the Baja Peninsula where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, Cabo San Lucas is just 1,000 miles from the US/Mexico border, making a short trip here a breeze.

Mexico’s Allure

With a whole flurry of natural attractions and world-class restaurants and hotels, it’s no wonder Cabo (as it is affectionately known) makes an ideal vacation spot. For outdoor lovers, there’s a whole list of natural sites to explore in the area, such as El Arco (the arch), a natural rock formation in the shape of an arch that lies adjacent to Playa Del Amor (Lover’s Beach). The scenic Tourist Corridor is eighteen miles of pristine bays, sun-swept shores, and dive sites. Cabo is also the gateway to cowboy central – the colonial San Jose del Cabo provides miles of backcountry roads, trails and secret springs to explore.

But Cabo is just one of the many beaches in Mexico – there is whole world of wind-swept beaches and turquoise shores that are worth exploring if you’re looking to kick back and have a barefoot wedding just like Jennifer. Cancun is probably one of the famous spots in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula with hundreds of beach resorts and malls to entertain young travelers. Isla Cozumel is another great island boasting fantastic dive sites and even opportunities to swim with whale sharks. For those seeking a vibrant nightlife, head down to the energetic Playa del Carmen for some action. Whichever part of Mexico you choose to explore, Iberostar will be there to make it a vacation you won’t forget.

In Mexico there’s a whole world of wind-swept beaches and turquoise shores that are worth exploring. Whichever part of Mexico you choose to explore, Iberostar will be there to make it a vacation you won’t forget!

Suave Hollywood heartbreaker, George Clooney, was recently seen vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with fellow Thespian Stacy Keibler. During their vacation, Keibler even tweeted a photo of a pool surrounded by palm trees.

“Chasing the last days of ‘summer,’” Keibler wrote on Twitter, calling the view “paradise.”

But George and Stacy are not the only celebrities in love with Cabos San Lucas. A-list stars like Jennifer Aniston, Diane Kruger, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez are also frequent visitors of this region of Mexico, drawn here by its perfect weather and miles of beautiful beaches. Situated at the tip of the Baja Peninsula where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, Cabo San Lucas offers a different side of Mexico to explore as part of your Iberostar vacation.

Cabo: A Celebrity Playground

Cabo, as it’s affectionately known, is famed for its sandy beaches, world-class dive sites, and abundant marine life. Most importantly, it’s just a hop away from Hollywood (1,000 miles from the US/Mexico border). Instead of jetting halfway around the world to far-flung isles, celebrities choose to vacation here in their free time.

With such attractive characteristics and appealing location, Cabo San Lucas has developed into a major tourist spot – littered with souvenir stores, malls and tacky restaurants. But all is not lost, there’s still a hint of tradition here if you look. Tired of tourist traps? Head on over to San José del Cabo, a nearby traditional Mexican town founded in the 1700s by Jesuit missionaries. Here, you may just find the Mexico that you’d been looking for. If you’re here in the right season, you can even see whales up close, breaching the waters of the Pacific.

For those interested in experiencing how it feels like to be a celebrity, get yourself a cool ride by hiring a Porsche Boxster or Mini Cooper convertible. Cruise through the fancy boulevards and wine and dine at Cabo’s best restaurants – you might just rub shoulders with some serious celebrities. Alternatively, head down to the Shoppes at Palmilla, where Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas, among others, have been spotted browsing local artwork. Whether you’re into celebs and glamor, or old-fashioned Mexican charm, you’re sure to find a pleasant surprise in this corner of Mexico.
