If you've ever wanted to visit Mexico, Cabo San Lucas could be the ideal introduction. An upmarket resort town with luxurious sandy beaches, championship golf courses, world-class scuba diving facilities, excellent fishing, and you can also sometimes spot whales in the winter. There is a lot here for a family holiday, and the beaches in particular are great for kids, but with astronomical hotel rates, you may decide that a rental condo or villa will be the best option for your Cabo San Lucas adventure. Self-catered accommodation will both save you some for the entertainment budget, and also allow you to take your holiday at your own pace.

All family members will find something fun to do in the Cabo San Lucas area. If you are there in the winter months, take a boat trip out to see whales out in the warm waters offshore. You can also try your hand at surfing, scuba diving and lazing on the beach. Away from the water, Cabo San Lucas is also full of incredible restaurants, both local and international, and fantastic shopping opportunities as well. Visit the Cultural Centre and lose yourself in the gardens which overlook the whole of Cabo. If you really fancy yourself in the fishing stakes, you can even charter a boat and take it out to try your luck against marlins, tuna and other large fish. A little further away, visit neighbouring San Jose, where you can experience some more traditional Mexican charm. On the way back, you can stop off for a round of golf on one of the many courses which are available. Cabo San Lucas has the feel of a real millionaire's playground, and your whole family will have the holiday of a lifetime.

There is a huge range of holiday rental properties on offer in the Cabo San Lucas area, starting at around £1,000 a week for a three bedroom which will easily sleep a family of four or more. Prices then go up to as much as £1,000 a night, so if you fancy a really extravagant holiday of a lifetime, this is certainly the area for you. Cabo San Lucas has an exclusive atmosphere of glamour and glitz, and having your own bolthole in the town is an incredible buzz, even if it is only for a week or so!
