Looking For A Beachy Wellness Destination? The Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal Is Your Answer
My two favorite ways to spend a vacation are indulging in endless wellness experiences and lounging by a beautiful beach. This very special Forbes Five-Star Property has an abundance of both. The hotel is dramatically situated between the ocean and the rockface of the Pedregal Mountain and embodies both luxury and a sense of spirituality. Depending on the season, beach lovers can snorkel, surf, swim with the dolphins or enjoy some whale watching.

Regardless of the season, the property offers an endless array of wellness options. Fitness buffs can spend time in the well equipped gym or sign up for beachside yoga, a boot camp class or go for a hike. Or you can hone your tennis and pickleball skills with a private lesson.
The natural setting inspires calm Waldorf Astoria
However, the spa is really highlight of the property for anyone who wants to tackle stress or just experience some local Mexican wellness rituals. One of my favorites is the cacao ceremony performed in an outside palapa and conducted by a local shaman. Cacao is a healing ingredient in indigenous cultures and focuses on the heart with the goal of creating a sense of openness and relaxation. A special couples' version of the ceremony is also available.
Welcome to the spa Waldorf Astoria
The spa offers an extensive assortment of therapies based in nature. Depending on the phase of the moon (or your personal preference), you can sign up for the 'The Awakening Moon,' 'The Nourishing Moon,' 'The Calming Moon,' or 'The Restoring Moon.' The Calming Moon treatment features the calming effect of an exfoliation using rose petals & brown sugar, followed by a re-mineralizing rose mud wrap and a relaxing massage. Or you can choose something from the indigenous healing spa menu such as 'The Intention.' This treatment utilizes aromatherapy and indigenous rituals and includes an energy cleansing ritual, craniosacral therapy and a Mexican folk healing massage. Hand-harvested organic blends are selected by the spa's therapists who use the energy of plants and herbs to provide a holistic targeted body, mind and spirit experience.

If mescal is your thing, you can try the 'Spirit of Mezcal Muscle Renewal' massage, which uses a mezcal-infused rub for improved circulation and muscle relaxation. Inspired by ancient practices, this technique dispels bodily coldness, believed to cause muscular discomfort. The final step is a calming herbal pinda massage with anti-inflammatory properties, promoting body revitalization and harmonious immune system activation.
Your ocean view Waldorf Astoria
Regardless of how much time you spend at the spa, you will definitely feel a sense of calm by being surrounded by so much natural beauty and incredibly relaxing hotel rooms and suites. All suites have a private plunge pool and an ocean view. For a true indulgence, you can book the three-bedroom villa, a 3,500 sq. ft. oasis of luxury. It's hard not to feel well-taken care of as you enjoy your multiple terraces, a private pool, and dedicated butler service.
Cliffside dining at El Farallon Waldorf Astoria
And if you were wondering, the food is terrific too. Don Manuel's features Mexican classics and the cliffside El Farallon is an exceptional restaurant that has a seafood-to-table menu, as well as a champagne tasting menu and some of the best views in town.
