Move over Cabo — there’s a new bachelorette hotspot on the Baja Peninsula, and it’s everything Cabo used to be before the crowds. Welcome to La Paz, Baja California Sur, where the Sea of Cortez meets a laid-back coastal vibe, untouched beaches, and the kind of authentic energy that makes a girls’ trip feel like an escape instead of a production.

Why Everyone’s Suddenly Talking About La Paz

La Paz has quietly become the place for brides and their best friends who want the magic of Mexico without the chaos. It’s safe, easy to get to, and filled with things you can’t find anywhere else — turquoise water, postcard sunsets, and local charm that still feels real.

Instead of crowds of tourists, you’ll find charming cafés along the malecón, calm coves perfect for paddle boarding, and private charters that turn a weekend into a memory you’ll be talking about for years.

Where to Stay: Casa Carousel

If you’re coming to La Paz for a bachelorette weekend, Casa Carousel is the move.This luxury villa sits in the gated Palmira community, with sweeping ocean views, six bedrooms, a private pool, and that “I never want to leave” kind of atmosphere. It’s made for groups — spacious enough for everyone, but cozy enough that it still feels intimate.

Mornings start with breakfast prepared by the in-house chef (add-on service), mimosas by the pool, and maybe a yoga session overlooking the marina. By afternoon, you’re lounging on the terrace or getting ready for a sunset cruise — because every La Paz bachelorette needs at least one boat day.

Set Sail with Habibi Baja

No La Paz bachelorette is complete without a day on the water — and Habibi Baja is the ultimate way to do it. Their 64-ft Sunseeker yacht is basically a floating dream house: plush interiors, shaded lounge areas, a sound system ready for your party playlist, and a crew that knows how to make the day special.

Cruise out to Playa Balandra for turquoise shallows and sandbars, or head toward Espíritu Santo Island to snorkel with sea lions and take those once-in-a-lifetime photos. Some groups add chef service and champagne — others keep it simple with good music and cold drinks. Either way, it’s the kind of day that ends with salty hair, sun-kissed skin, and everyone saying, “We have to come back.”
