A WORLD APART

The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal’s tranquil setting is ideal for intimate group retreats, executive meetings and incentive trips. BY MEGAN GOSCH

FOR GROUPS meeting south of the border, the Forbes Five-Star Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal offers a peaceful backdrop for the ultimate seaside retreat.

Nestled at the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, each guest’s unforgettable experience begins the moment they’ve emerged from the torch-lit corridor of the Don Mares tunnel to discover panoramic Pacific Ocean views. Carved from the cliffs of Pedregal Mountain, the 24-acre haven feels worlds apart from the nearby downtown Cabo San Lucas, creating a peaceful environment for groups to meet, mingle, relax and recharge.

After unwinding with a complimentary margarita, guests are accompanied to one of the resort’s 119 lavish guest rooms—each featuring a rainfall shower, an indoor fireplace, a stunning ocean view and a luxurious private terrace and plunge pool—by a personal concierge (assigned to each guest and available for around-the-clock assistance). Binoculars are also available for guests hoping to spot the humpback whales that gather nearby.

When arranging on-site events, from executive retreats and board meetings to weddings and social events, planners have access to the resort’s experienced meetings maitre d’, available to assist with seamless event execution from start to finish. While the property offers two well-appointed indoor event spaces accommodating 50-110 seated guests, the resort’s many seaside locales create an unbeatable backdrop for private dinners or cocktail receptions. Small groups of 30-60 guests can enjoy the Casa Bella Vista, overlooking the lights of the Marina of Cabo San Lucas, or venture to El Farallon, one of the property’s five on-site restaurants. El Farallon accommodates up to 160 guests and showcases refined, traditional Baja and Mexican dishes with an ocean-to-table menu of fresh fish
