Tranquil haven Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is just steps from Baja’s bustling heart
Words by LESLEY McKENZIE
As Los Cabos shakes off winter, savvy jet-setters are already planning their trips around Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, a secluded bastion of luxury located just steps from the lively marina and vibrant markets of Cabo San Lucas. Built into the cliffside, the 112-key property, spanning 24 acres on the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, is the pinnacle of coastal splendor. Guests arrive via the private Dos Mares tunnel carved into the mountain — unique in all of Mexico — and emerge to unrivaled views of the Pacific Ocean.
Can’t take your eyes off the vistas? You’re in luck: Each immaculately appointed accommodation — from rooms to multibedroom residential-style villas, two-bedroom beachfront suites, and standalone casitas — looks out onto the water. For private beach access, consider checking in to the butler-appointed beachfront presidential villa.
Rooms come with their own private plunge pools, perfect for an impromptu zen moment, but for next-level relaxation, head to the Waldorf Astoria Spa. The tranquil haven features treatments inspired by the moon, sea, and Mexican folk healing traditions. Favorite offerings include the Damiana and Honey Moon treatment (80 minutes), which incorporates the native damiana flower — a known aphrodisiac — into an herbal body scrub and hydrating honey wrap, topped off with a deeply relaxing massage.
Dining experiences are no less exquisite, whether it’s huevos rancheros for breakfast at Don Manuel’s, an agave tasting at Peacock Alley, or ceviche at Crudo, located at the center of the pool bar.
Meanwhile, culinary-minded travelers are already marking their calendars for the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal’s beloved annual Festival of Flavors, set for April 24–26. Expect a Mexican-influenced dining extravaganza helmed by top toques and Michelin star-honored chefs Michael Mina and Adam Sobel — two culinary luminaries whose creations span cultures and continents — under the leadership of executive chef Gustavo Pinet.
And thanks to private jet service Aero’s direct flights from Los Angeles, travel to Los Cabos is effortless — imagine going from the tarmac, through private customs, and into a valeted car in a matter of minutes. It’s this blend of unmatched luxury and seamless convenience that makes Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal the ideal spring retreat. waldorfastorialoscabospedregal.com.
