This Popular Los Cabos Luxury Resort Is Closing To Tourists For The Summer

Los Cabos’ luxury scene is getting a temporary makeover this summer—and we couldn’t be more excited for the big reveal.

The celebrated Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal will close its doors from July 15 through September 30 to wrap up the final phase of a multi-year, property-wide transformation.

We at The Cabo Sun know many of you hold a special place in your heart (and your Instagram feed) for Pedregal’s cliff-side villas, private-tunnel arrival, and ocean-view plunge pools, so grab your fall calendars and let’s talk about how to plan—and why trust us, it’ll be worth the wait.

🛠 Why the Summer Shutdown Feels Like a Sneak Peek

You may have followed the resort’s gradual upgrades over the past two years—new art here, fresh lounge there—but this summer’s full shutdown is when the real magic happens.

According to the official Waldorf Astoria press release, the resort is giving all 112 accommodations the star treatment: fresh layouts, mood-lit spaces, and an in-room bar that spotlights Baja’s finest artisanal spirits .

Think of it as Pedregal’s glow-up montage—only instead of a three-minute video, you get a three-month closure.

✨ What We Can’t Wait to See on October 1

When the tunnel doors reopen, expect your jaw to drop:

• Artisan-Inspired Interiors: Imagine drifting off on a cloud of custom fabrics sourced from Oaxaca, Jalisco, and right here in Baja. Warm, neutral palettes get a pop of color from local artwork—details you’ll want to linger on during your morning coffee.
• Signature Sea Turtle Motif: Above your bed, a metallic sea-turtle shell by Preciado Iluminación (Jalisco) will greet you—an elegant reminder that, like sea turtles, you’ll always find your way home to Pedregal.
• Beach Club & Culinary Pop-Ups: Picture yourself at the new Beach Club chef showcases, savoring the Festival of Flavors tacos by guest chefs under a cotton-candy sunset. We’ve already set a reminder in our calendars.
• Wellness Wonders: The revamped spa will blend moon-phase rituals with a saltwater meditation pool—because who doesn’t want a side of zen with their ocean views?
• Public Areas That Spark Joy: Wander the lobby and lounges to discover installations by talents like Cinthya Navarro and Tanya Talamante—perfect backdrops for your next profile pic.

🗓 How to Pivot Your Summer Plans—Without Missing a Beat

If Pedregal was supposed to anchor your July getaway, don’t fret. Los Cabos has plenty of alternatives that keep the luxe vibes flowing:

• One&Only Palmilla: Swap cliff-side drama for hilltop panoramas and Michelin-star cuisine.
• Rosewood Las Ventanas: Sip house-made cocktails at the La Botica speakeasy while we await Pedregal’s big comeback.
• Pueblo Bonito Pacifica: An adults-only oasis that feels like your personal beachfront playground.

Looking for just a taste of Pedregal-level decadence? Day-pass options at several resorts mean you can lounge by a private cabana for the afternoon, then trot back to your own digs.

💎 Why This Is the Hottest Reopening of 2025

Trust us, it’s not a mere face-lift—it’s an original design reimagined. Maria Valeria Nowotny, Hilton’s VP of Luxury Operations, calls it “a thrilling new era that honors the resort’s legacy and Mexican heritage” .
