Mexico’s hottest new resort

Capella Pedregal, a dramatic, 66-room Cliffside and Beachside Resort and Spa, opened in Cabo San Lucas in July 2009.

With a stunning location in a secluded cliffside setting where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, the Capella Pedregal affords a highly personal service, beautifully designed rooms, fine dining and a 12,000 foot state of the art spa. Each guestroom – regardless of size – boasts a private plunge pool and one-of-a-kind ocean views.

The resort is within walking distance of the town’s marina, yet Pedregal feels as secluded as any exclusive Los Cabos hotel. The only way to access the 24-acre property by car is through a private tunnel the developers carved through the mountain that divides this part of the Pacific Coast from downtown Cabo.
