If you want to get past the mega-resorts and spring breakers in Mexico, it’s time to get to know Mazatlán. The sprawling beachfront city is home to 19th-century architecture, a buzzy seaside promenade, and Parisian-style cobblestone plazas with cafe tables lining the street.⁠
⁠
Start your day at one of the best (and most relaxing) beaches in the region, Playa Sabalo. Take your time strolling down the six-mile malecón, or beachfront esplanade, and visit the boutiques, bars, and high-end restaurants in Zona Dorada. Or plan your escape to Stone Island, a lesser-known beach bordered by hilly jungle.⁠
⁠
When it comes to eating, expect everything to be pure and fresh. Join a food tour—Tomatl is great—or swing by Casa 46 for updated regional fare like confit duck enchiladas. Want to experience luxury without a sandy bikini? Book a room at boutique hotel Casa Lucila, where a small rooftop infinity plunge pool overlooks the ocean.⁠

Still team Cabo, or have we successfully turned you on to bluer waters?⁠
