There are many associations made with the glamorous Mexican destination that is Los Cabos including golden beaches, crystal clear water and sky, Mexican hospitality, whale watching and the Hollywood A-list. Thanks to a new astronomy experience launching at the newly opened Grand Velas Los Cabos, February will see stargazing added to this list of unique experiences available in this Mexican haven. 

Considered by NASA one of the top 20 places to research the night-sky, resort guests can enjoy a series of astronomy evenings complimentary. Accompanied by a bonfire and signature cocktails, the stargazing activity is held oceanfront overlooking the Sea of Cortez.

The hotel, which opened on December 20, launches 'Night Sky', an astronomy experience which offers the exciting opportunity to discover the stars, planets and constellations stretching over the Los Cabos Baja Peninsula. Hosted by certified NAI (National Association for Interpretation) Interpreters and experts in astronomy, the three hour tour includes guided use of a 12-inch telescope, the biggest in Los Cabos.

During a new moon monthly – starting on January 28, guests have the opportunity to see planets, nebulae, constellations and, if lucky, they could be treated to a meteor shower, which are quite frequent over the Los Cabos sky. This truly memorable and unique experience offers guests the opportunity to learn more about the planet and solar system whilst enjoying the spectacular Los Cabos setting.
