Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal

Off the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal occupies a private cliffside enclave reached through a 100-metre tunnel carved into the rock — the only road entry into the property.

Suites and villas step down toward the Pacific, each with a private plunge pool and direct sightlines to Land's End, where the Sea of Cortez meets the open ocean. The resort's beach faces the Pacific side, rougher and cooler than the calmer Medano stretch used by most Cabo hotels — a meaningful distinction for guests who prefer fewer crowds.

Dining centers on the clifftop restaurant, where the open kitchen works with Baja seafood landed nearby. Cabo San Lucas marina is a five-minute drive back through the tunnel.
