Share The Article

We at The Cabo Sun have big news for luxury lovers: Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal—the cliff-carved icon at the mouth of Cabo San Lucas Marina—is officially unveiling the final phase of its multi-year transformation on October 1, 2025.

Here’s everything you need to know to plan a jaw-dropping stay (and a few insider tips to outsmart the crowds).

What’s new after the makeover

The resort completed a top-to-bottom redesign of all 112 accommodations—that’s rooms, suites, beachfront suites (including the presidential), casitas, and villas—plus upgrades to the Beach Club Restaurant, the adults-only pool, and the Salon at the Waldorf Astoria Spa. Expect a lighter, neutral palette, custom furnishings crafted by Mexican artisans, and a striking metallic sea-turtle shell above each bed—a nod to Pedregal’s “return home” spirit.

Foodies win big, too. The resort’s recent culinary wave—Agave Study at Peacock Alley, Neutral Coffee Lab, a refreshed Don Manuel’s, and TRAVESÍA, a nine-course taco-driven tasting—continues with new rotating activations at the enhanced Beach Club. If you follow Michelin-star cameos, keep an eye on the resort’s ongoing Festival of Flavors collabs with world-class chefs.

Spa day? The celebrated Waldorf Astoria Spa keeps its moon-phase-inspired rituals and saltwater meditation pool, now with a revitalized salon space. Wellness seekers can also look out for the resort’s continued tie-ins with Alo Wellness Club experiences.

The signature Pedregal perks aren’t going anywhere

If you’re new to the legend: every accommodation comes with a private plunge pool and Pacific views—the hallmark that makes this spot feel like a private sanctuary even when Cabo is buzzing. Butler-level service is available in premium categories, and personal concierge is standard.

Timing your trip (and why October is wild—in a good way)

The reopening hits right as Los Cabos slides into peak fall energy. October is when the marina crackles with Bisbee’s tournaments and hotels across the cape firm up into high-season mode. Translation: book strategically. We’ve been tracking the surge—Los Cabos is on pace for yet another record-breaking year, so expect fuller flights and faster-moving inventory.

If you’re aiming to pair Pedregal with the spectacle, note that Bisbee’s Black & Blue runs October 20–25 with weigh-ins right at Puerto Paraíso—electric atmosphere, bigger crowds around the marina, and premium rates at walkable properties. Want a feel for the vibe? We break it down here and share planning tips in our guide to why one specific week in October gets packed.

Where to eat (on-site and around town)

On property, El Farallón keeps its throne for cliffside seafood splurges, while Don Manuel’s is the go-to for elevated Baja flavors—both freshened up by the renovation program.

Booking intel from the editors

• Lock in now for October/November. Reopening curiosity + tournament weeks + a record year = tighter availability. Our high-season forecast explains why advance planning is your friend this year.
• Choose your room type with intent. If privacy is the priority, coastal and ocean view categories already deliver that private plunge-pool magic; step up to beachfront suites or villas for butler service and direct sand access.
• Restaurant strategy matters. Aim for sunset seatings at El Farallón and book tastings (like TRAVESÍA) ahead of your trip—pedregal-level culinary experiences draw both guests and outside diners.
• Beach expectations. The resort fronts a dramatic Pacific stretch that’s more for wave-watching than swimming; plan actual swim time at Chileno or Palmilla—and check our crowd-beating beach tips before you go.

Why this reopening matters

Pedregal’s refresh is the exclamation point on a year where more travelers than ever are choosing Los Cabos—and it showcases how the destination keeps leveling up luxury without losing its Baja soul. For travelers eyeing a splurge with serious sense of place, October 1 is your green light.

If “do Cabo right” is on your 2025 checklist, this is your moment. Book early, plan your marina days around Bisbee’s, and come hungry—Pedregal’s back, polished, and ready for its close-up.
