Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

The resort appears after a lantern-lit tunnel through raw rock, and suddenly—Pacific blue to the horizon, waves combing the black-velvet beach.

Set at the southern tip of Baja, where the desert meets the sea, this hideaway offers 112 rooms, suites, and villas, nearly all facing the ocean, many with private plunge pools.

It’s a place of salt air and sun-warmed stone, of ceviche and lime at noon and stars stitched over the surf at night.

What Makes It Special

• Dramatic arrival via a private tunnel carved into the cliff.
• Cliffside dining at El Farallón—fresh-caught fish, the ocean as your soundtrack.
• Private plunge pools in many accommodations and sweeping Pacific views.
• Seaside spa with ritual baths and treatment suites that breathe in the sea air.
• Agave & seafood culture—tequila/mezcal tastings, raw bars, and Baja flavors done with finesse.
• Beach bonfires & stargazing on a wild, photogenic stretch of sand (often unswimmable, but unforgettable).

A Day at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal

Morning

Coffee arrives with warm pan dulce on your terrace; pelicans skim the breakers as your plunge pool steams in the cool air. Walk the beach while the sun climbs, then chilaquiles bright with tomatillo and queso fresco.

Afternoon

Drift between infinity-edge pools and cabanas; the breeze smells of sea spray and lime. A spa therapist works Baja botanicals into sun-tired shoulders; you finish with a cooling pitahaya sorbet.

Evening

Choose your fish from a bed of ice at El Farallón; the sommelier pairs it with a crisp Valle de Guadalupe white. The cliffs glow ember-orange; the surf below keeps time.

Night

A beach fire, sand still warm underfoot; sip an aged mezcal while constellations sharpen above Land’s End. Back in your suite, the ocean’s hush filters through as you sink into linen as cool as marble.
