The Most Exclusive Arrival in Cabo: Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal
Your first moment at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is intoxicating. You haven't merely entered vacation mode; you've discovered a new mindset. Nothing short of cinematic, your journey begins as you leave the vibrant energy of Cabo San Lucas behind and approach the resort's exclusive Dos Mares tunnel. On the other side of this engineering marvel, carved directly through the mountain's solid granite, lies the sense of exclusivity and separation you've been craving.
This nearly 1,000-foot-long private passage is the only way in and out of Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, and you'll start to feel the resort's signature ambiance halfway through. The tunnel is illuminated by iron chandeliers hanging from arched stone ceilings, casting a warm glow.
Emerge to an expansive horizon, where you're greeted by the ocean's roar and a blindingly beautiful vista of the deep blue Pacific and Sea of Cortés. You've arrived. This 24-acre cliffside retreat is your pocket of paradise, completely hidden from the rest of Cabo.

Your Secluded Haven Awaits: Private Plunge Pools & Ocean Views
Following a multi-year renovation, Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal has been reimagined to capture the true soul of Mexico. Architect Paul Duesing, who originally designed the resort in 2009, returned to oversee a transformation that touches nearly every corner of the property.
Every room, suite, and villa at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is a sanctuary facing the sea. Privacy is a given here, which is why all guest rooms feature their own private plunge pool and expansive terrace.
Designed by the Spirit of Mexico
Mexican vendors and artisans were involved throughout the resort's renovation, resulting in rooms that celebrate the country's heritage, in a soothing palette of sandstone, honey, and jade that mirrors the cliffs and the sea. Artistic and handcrafted touches adorn each room and suite, from the metallic turtle-shell sculptures by Preciado Iluminación, a renowned studio in Jalisco, to sculptural sofas and hacienda-style woodwork.
This is paradise. Wake up to the sound of crashing waves, step onto your terrace with a cup of coffee, and sink into your private pool as the sun rises over the rocks. During the migration season, it's your front-row seat to playful whales breaching in the waters just beyond your balcony. Here's a sampling of what you can expect in several categories of glorious accommodations.
Raved-Over Rooms
Go with the perennial favorite, a King Ocean View Vista with Plunge Pool. Soak up sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean from the rooms preferred by Pedregal's return guests for their top-floor location. These spacious rooms feature an extended terrace ideal for stargazing, whale-watching, or simply luxuriating in the infinity plunge pool.
STARS SUITES
Settle into more than 1,600 square feet of immaculate luxury in one of the most popular suites with Pedregal guests. The top-floor One Bedroom Estrella Suite with Plunge Pool, designed for indoor/outdoor living, features incredible sea and sky views from three private terraces, including the expansive main terrace, loungers, and your own infinity plunge pool. You'll find authentic Mexican touches throughout the elegant living room and dining area.
Beachfront Beauties
For a sense of place that will feel like your own private vacation home, select the Three-Bedroom Beachfront Presidential Suite. You're just steps from your private infinity pool and dedicated beach access, and have a personal butler at your service. Enjoy open living and dining spaces, large patio and lawn areas, two spacious primary suites, one double queen bedroom, a welcome premium tequila amenity, daily guacamole with Mexican beer, and private resort experiences.
Crave-Worthy Casitas
Featuring an open floor plan and an expansive terrace and lawn, the Three Bedroom Resort Casita with Plunge Pool wears its spaciousness well (3,252 square feet!) and exudes a stylish intimacy. However, you will live large, indeed, with a private plunge pool, a full kitchen, and personal butler service.
Vogue Villas
Indulge in seaside tranquility in a Two Bedroom Ocean View Villa with Plunge Pool, a 2,685-square-foot retreat nestled between the cliffside and the brilliant blue Pacific. Up to five guests can stay in two bedrooms, with spa-quality private bathrooms and personalized butler service, a full kitchen with Viking appliances, a grill and plunge pool on the terrace, and, of course, panoramic ocean views.
A Taste of Cabo
The best vacation dining allows us to explore culture through cuisine. The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal culinary team captures the stories of Mexico through its ingredients.
Don Manuel's: Warm and inviting, the resort's signature restaurant marries ancient and contemporary culinary techniques to reimagine the flavors of the region. As an ode to Mexico's deep heritage and history, you're invited to embrace traditional family-style dining, sharing the dishes at the table.
Travesia at La Cocina: Recognizing the global popularity of the beloved Mexican taco, Travesia was born, with a nine-course tasting menu that is a love letter to the regions of Mexico. Take a culinary pilgrimage through the specific geographic regions responsible for the delicious ingredients that enhance the taco experience. Each course is influenced by the traditions and cooking techniques the resort chefs learned in their childhood homes. These family recipes, elevated by Michelin-level technique, bring you the authentic heart of Mexico on a plate. And every course is expertly paired with a cocktail that complements the dish's flavor profile.
El Farallon: While Travesia explores the land, El Farallon explores the sea. Dine directly over the crashing waves in a dramatic setting carved into the sheer cliffside, selecting your dinner from a "market-style" display of the day's fresh catch. Favorites include otoaba with green peas and wasabi puree, bluefin tuna with teriyaki mushrooms, and slow-cooked lobster with miso mole vede. Be sure to add on a comforting favorite, like mac & cheese with black truffle or Brussels sprouts with honey, mustard, and pork belly.
The Waldorf Astoria Spa: Celestial Wellness
If there's a paradise within paradise, it's the Waldorf Astoria Spa, taking your vacation to another realm of time. Honored with the Forbes Five-Star rating, the spa is the heartbeat of the resort's wellness philosophy. Inspired by the lunar cycle and the sea, and acknowledging the powerful connection between the moon, the tides, and the human body, the intentionally designed facility is an oasis of curved walls and water features, with a stunning saltwater pool at its center.
Treatments are rooted in Mexican folk healing, known as curanderismo, and use organic ingredients, locally harvested herbs, and ancient rituals to restore balance. From a hydrating facial that utilizes the restorative powers of the agave plant to a grounding massage that mimics the rhythm of the waves, you are in the hands of master therapists.
Every treatment begins with a foot-cleansing ritual, utilizing herbs to clear negative energy and prepare you for your spa program. Before or after your treatments, you're free to enjoy the steam rooms, saunas, ice fountains, and showers. It's also easy to maintain your personal routine, whether in the state-of-the-art fitness center or a morning yoga session on the beach.
Your Private Oasis Awaits: Elevate Your Stay
Going beyond the familiar rhythm of sleep, dine, spa, repeat (though there's certainly a place for that), Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal invites you to connect more deeply with its cultural roots and breathtaking surroundings. Through a curated collection of immersive experiences, you'll engage the senses in ways that feel both intimate and unforgettable. From hands-on tastings that celebrate Mexico's heritage to expert-led explorations of flavor, craft, and tradition, these moments are designed to linger long after you've returned home.
Adventure and discovery extend well beyond the resort, too. Sail or panga your way to the UNESCO-protected Espírito Santo Island for snorkeling alongside sea lions, manta rays, and soaring seabirds, or take advantage of Pedregal's remote setting for an evening of stargazing guided by a specialist, complete with cozy treats under the night sky. When you're ready to venture out, Cabo San Lucas awaits just beyond the Dos Mares tunnel, with the concierge team prepared to arrange marina strolls, visits to the iconic El Arco, or a sunset sail to round out your stay.
There are many places to go on vacation, but few places where you can fully detach and decompress. Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal offers a rare combination of raw Baja beauty and locally inspired craftsmanship. From the handcrafted tiles in your room to the hand-pressed tortillas at dinner, from the ancient stone of the tunnel to the modern indulgence of your plunge pool, every detail has been considered to envelop and embrace your mind, body, and soul.
