Recovering After a Big Night on Médano Beach

Médano Beach delivers some of the best — and biggest — days and nights in Cabo. Beach clubs at noon, dinner on the sand, drinks on the Marina, and suddenly it is 2am. Here is how to bounce back.

Why Médano nights hit hard

It is a triple whammy: hours of sun and heat dehydrate you before you start, the drinks flow all day rather than just at night, and the late finish robs you of sleep. By morning you are dehydrated, depleted and exhausted.

The recovery playbook

Rehydrate first thing with water and electrolytes (oral rehydration salts beat plain water), eat something gentle to steady blood sugar, take an anti-inflammatory for the headache, and rest in the AC out of the sun. Avoid the temptation of another drink, which only delays recovery.

The fastest fix

If you have plans you do not want to miss, the quickest reset is a mobile IV drip to your Médano hotel — fluids, electrolytes, B-vitamins and anti-nausea, delivered in about 45 minutes, with most people feeling better before it finishes. Traveling as a group? Three or more drips get a discount.

Do it better next time

Alternate drinks with water, rehydrate in the afternoon after the beach, and eat properly before the night gets going. Future-you will be grateful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest way to recover after a night on Médano Beach?

A mobile IV recovery drip to your hotel is fastest — fluids, electrolytes, vitamins and anti-nausea in about 45 minutes. Otherwise hydrate with electrolytes, eat gently, and rest out of the sun.

Why are Médano hangovers so bad?

A full day of sun and heat dehydrates you before drinking starts, the drinks flow all day, and late nights cut your sleep — so you wake up dehydrated, depleted and tired.

Can you deliver a recovery drip to my Médano hotel?

Yes. A licensed nurse can bring a recovery drip to your Médano-area hotel, usually within about 45 minutes, and groups of three or more get a discount.
