At the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal, paradise arrives on a tray: perfectly crisp tortilla chips, fresh guacamole and a bucket of ice-cold Mexican beer, delivered promptly around 4 p.m. each day. From the moment I arrived, it was clear this was a place to unwind and truly relax—one of those trips you’ll never forget.

The journey begins as you pass through Mexico’s only private tunnel, an architectural marvel carved into the mountainside, where the bustling energy of Cabo San Lucas fades into serene luxury. Upon emerging, you’re greeted by breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and warm Baja breezes. Even the check-in process is outdoors—because who would want to waste a moment inside when the horizon is painted with endless blue skies?

“I’ve been the general manager of this resort since 2015, so this team is family,” shares Fernando Flores, GM of Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. “Watching our team grow in their roles has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.”

It’s this deep connection to the resort and its guests that sets the Waldorf Astoria apart. Longstanding team members, lovingly referred to as the “Pedregal People,” go above and beyond to make every visit unlike any other.

“At the heart and soul of this resort are our ‘Pedregal People,’” Flores adds. “Many of our return guests have connected with our team on a personal level and request the same Personal Concierge or butler. This dedication and warmth are why we always say, ‘Welcome Home.’”

Between the private plunge pools, a 24-hour concierge service that responds via text, plush bathrobes and unforgettable dining experiences, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal redefines indulgence. And if the peaceful surroundings weren’t enough, the spa’s moon-inspired treatments and ocean-view therapy rooms offer the highest level of tranquility.

Nestled on 24 pristine acres at the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula—where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, near the Cabo Arch and the iconic rock formations of Land’s End—this Hilton-owned property is equal parts luxury and local charm. Its proximity to the ocean means stunning views from every guest room and the opportunity to witness whales as they gather seasonally around the peninsula.

The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is a sought-after destination for weddings, proposals and honeymoons, offering breathtaking backdrops that have hosted numerous romantic milestones. During my stay, I witnessed a couple’s engagement, and earlier this year, SI Swimsuit model Olivia Culpo hosted her bachelorette party at the resort.

Accomodations

The accommodations at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal are a masterclass in luxury and thoughtful design. Each option offers an expansive layout, seamlessly blending modern elegance with authentic Mexican artistry: from hand-painted vanity sinks to plush custom furnishings.

My suite was a prime example of the resort’s knack for creating memorable experiences. Upon arrival, I found personalized satin pillows embroidered with my initials and a selection of thoughtful gifts waiting for me—a warm, welcoming touch that instantly made the space feel like home. Of course, the pièce de résistance is the private plunge pool overlooking the Pacific in every single room. I spent hours basking in the sun, watching waves crash below, ate a delicious custom french toast “floating breakfast” in it and was even lucky enough to spot a few whales breaching in the distance.

“One of the resort’s strongest pillars is the standout culinary offerings at our signature restaurants, like the cliffside El Farallon and Don Manuel’s, as well as our legendary lineup of Festival of Flavors culinary weekends in partnership with a collection of World’s 50 Best Restaurant-honored Chefs and Michelin star-honored chefs,” Flores shares. “One of my favorite experiences on property, though, is our Agave Study spirits tasting, which has a special place in our hearts as our team curated the tasting from firsthand experience learning traditional distilling methods from expert Mezcaleros. We traveled to Oaxaca to spend time with their families and bring the authentic practices to the resort. The team is extremely passionate about sharing these traditions with our guests and you can really feel their connection and enthusiasm during Agave Study.”

Food

Perhaps the most popular dining experience at the resort is El Farallon, a breathtaking cliffside restaurant nestled among natural rock formations. Dining here feels like stepping into a dream, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean that rival any movie set. The five-course tasting menu highlights the freshest seafood, beautifully paired with a champagne or mocktail flight.

Meanwhile, Don Manuel’s offers an equally indulgent culinary experience. Flores’s personal crown jewel of the resort is the TRAVESÎA, a nine-course taco journey Flores describes as “rooted in native cooking techniques and spotlights the flavors and ingredients of our country.” Each taco showcases recipes from the team’s family and ancestors, making the meal deeply personal and unique.
