This fall, one of Cabo San Lucas’ most iconic resorts will emerge renewed and reimagined. On October 1, 2025, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal will reopen its doors after a comprehensive, multi-year renovation that promises to elevate luxury tourism in the region.
A Vision Realized: Refined Luxury Rooted in Mexican Identity
Originally designed by Paul Duesing Partners, the resort’s extensive transformation began in 2022 and wrapped up with a final phase this summer. The property temporarily closed from July 15 to September 30, 2025, to complete a redesign of all 112 guestrooms, suites, casitas, and villas. Reemerging with a refreshed aesthetic, the resort embraces light neutrals, bespoke furniture crafted by Mexican artisans, hand‑carved wood details, and signature décor touches—including metallic sea turtle shell accents from Preciado Iluminación.
Beyond the façade, the new design imbues each space with a sense of local craftsmanship and artistic flair. A curated art collection graces public and private areas, including a compelling mural by Mexican multidisciplinary artist Tanya Talamante, inviting guests to immerse themselves in Mexico’s creative soul.
Culinary Innovation at the Heart of the Reopening
Gastronomy takes center stage in the resort’s rebirth. Originally introduced as part of earlier renovation stages, standout concepts such as the Agave Study at Peacock Alley celebrate Mexico’s revered tequila and mezcal traditions through immersive tastings and artisanal cocktails. Neutral Coffee Lab spotlights Mexico’s diverse coffee heritage, offering locally sourced roasts in an elegantly understated setting. 5 Meanwhile, Travesía elevates street‑food culture with an exclusive nine‑course taco tasting experience.
Other culinary destinations remain refreshed yet familiar: Don Manuel’s—the signature restaurant—now brings a modern twist to traditional Mexican cuisine using fresh, regional ingredients, while El Farallón continues to enchant with cliffside seafood dining, and Crudo serves light, beachfront fare including ceviche, oysters, and sushi.
Wellness Refined: A Sanctuary Reimagined
With global wellness tourism booming, the resort’s spa enhancements mark it as a premier well‑being retreat. Guests will discover a refreshed salon, saltwater meditation pool, and treatments inspired by lunar phases and ancient Mexican healing traditions. The resort will also resume hosting three‑day Alo Moves wellness retreats—offering yoga, meditation, and fitness sessions set against Cabo’s serene landscapes, now scheduled for 2026.
Privacy, Prestige, and Elevated Comfort
The reimagined accommodations cater to affluent travelers seeking serenity and exclusivity. Each room—whether a suite, casita, or villa—features panoramic Pacific Ocean views, private terraces, plunge pools, and intimate dining spaces. Personalized butler service and concierge access ensure seamless, bespoke experiences for those seeking top-tier indulgence.
Sustainability and Local Empowerment: Leading Responsible Tourism
Sustainability lies at the core of this renovation. Eco‑friendly materials, energy‑efficient upgrades, and support for local artisans set a standard for responsible luxury in Mexico’s tourism industry. By partnering with local craftsmen and implementing fair‑trade practices, the resort contributes meaningfully to Cabo’s local economy and cultural preservation.
A New Era for Luxury Tourism in Mexico
Reopening on October 1, 2025, the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is poised to reclaim its status among the top resorts in Mexico—an accolade affirmed by its inclusion in Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards. Its comprehensive renovation weaves modern luxury with rich Mexican heritage, culinary creativity, wellness innovation, and enduring commitment to sustainability.
As high-end travelers plan their journeys for late 2025 and beyond, this resort’s transformation offers a fresh reason to visit Cabo San Lucas. Whether drawn by its architectural artistry, gourmet ventures, wellness retreats, or commitment to cultural integrity, guests can anticipate an experience that is not just luxurious—but authentically Mexican, refined, and responsibly crafted.
