The new hotel: Mar Adentro Cabos<\/h3>\n

Mexico is suddenly a modern design mecca with the arrival of this sleek hotel that has been open in a quieter part of town for just about a year. A large reflective infinity pool is Mar Adentro Cabos<\/a>‘ centerpiece, and dark stone walkways crisscross over the water, leading guests to the beach and a large, bird\u2019s-nest-shaped restaurant (Nido)\u2014the perfect spot to start your day with green juice and a hearty plate of chilaquiles. Inside the hypermodern rooms (most in-room features are controlled via a bedside iPad), you\u2019ll find minimalist decor and an off-suite patio with a soaking tub where you can further enjoy the views of the water.<\/p>\n

The new resort: Grand Velas Los Cabos<\/h3>\n

When it comes to all-inclusive resorts, it doesn\u2019t get much better than the newest one on the Cabo scene. The Grand Velas<\/a>, which opened at the end of 2016, is a beachfront property that offers around 300 suites, several outdoor pools and a world-class spa. The hotel\u2019s five gourmet restaurants each focus on different cuisines (Mexican fine-dining, gourmet French, traditional Italian) in glamorously designed dining rooms. This is one of those spots where you\u2019ll have a hard time finding an excuse to leave the property.<\/p>\n

The new traditional restaurant: Tenangos Los Cabos<\/h3>\n

This restaurant (and cigar shop) hasn\u2019t been open that long, but it\u2019s one of those places that feels like it\u2019s been around for years. Chef and owner Liana H. Tur fills her dining room with authentic Mexican decor, with pops of bright colors on the walls and vintage ceramic pottery dishes on the tables. As for the menu, Tur focuses on entrees inspired by various regions of Mexico, so you\u2019ll find guacamole topped with salty grasshoppers, mole poblano, and, of course, fish tacos. The restaurant is located in the Shoppes at Palmilla, so make time for some post-meal shopping.<\/p>\n

The new urban restaurant: Common Table<\/h3>\n

The Cabo San Lucas Marina is a hotspot where you\u2019ll find plenty of nightlife options, and this newer restaurant is a great place to start your evening. The eclectic menu at this spacious restaurant features everything from fresh seafood to pizza\u2014and every selection is a winner. The detailed cocktail list (the Mexican mule\u2014mezcal infused with orange and ginger beer\u2014is a standout) and the attentive staff are two more reasons why this restaurant is quickly becoming a local favorite.<\/p>\n

The new bar: La Biblioteca de Tequila<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re imbibing on your Mexican vacation, you\u2019re going to be sampling a lot of tequilas. And one of the best places with the biggest selection is this spot located in Cabo San Lucas. The bar features more than 150 bottles of tequilas, mezcals and agave spirits. Spend a little time studying in this \u201clibrary,\u201d and you\u2019ll soon become an expert in all things tequila. The food menu, created by NYC chef Richard Sandoval, offers gourmet options to help soak up the booze.<\/p>\n

The new tour: Cabo Adventures Pacific Sunset Dinner<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re seeking to explore Cabo (and you should), a good place to turn to is Cabo Adventures, a tour and activity company that offers everything from zipline rides to whale watching excursions. One of the company\u2019s newest offerings is this experience, which allows you to dine during one of Cabo\u2019s beautiful sunsets. A tour guide takes you on a short drive along the Pacific coast, where you\u2019re greeted by friendly camels (think of the Instagram opportunity here) and then take a stroll along sandy dunes. Local musicians play while you\u2019re treated to dinner, drinks, and of course, views of the sky turning into breathtaking shades of pink and orange.<\/p>\n

The new golf courses: Ritz Carlton Reserve Los Cabos<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not opening until summer 2017, but this resort on the Sea of Cortez will be worth the wait. Among the amenities you\u2019ll find here are impressive golf courses designed in part by top pros Jack Niklaus and Greg Norman. Los Cabos is home to some of the best courses in the world, and these new ones are especially poised to stand out.<\/p>\n
