The Celebrity Retreat: Cabo

Cabo San Lucas is a haven for Hollywood’s elite. George Clooney's former beachfront estate Casamigos ("House of Friends"), which he shared with Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, put Cabo on the celebrity map. Today, Clooney continues to frequent the area, staying at Las Ventanas al Paraíso.

Will Smith recently showcased his $25,000-per-night villa in Cabo on social media, further boosting the area’s star-studded reputation.

Other A-list visitors include the Kardashian family, Justin and Hailey Bieber, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Many stars gravitate toward iconic locations like El Arco de Cabo San Lucas and the tranquil Playa del Amor.
