HIDE AND SEA

Tucked between the cliffs of Pedregal Mountain and the Pacific Ocean, Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal is dripping in sea-dipped luxury. Guests enter through a dramatic, torch-lit private tunnel (the first of its kind in Mexico) before checking into their personal retreat overlooking the ocean. Even the entry-level rooms boast plunge pools, private terraces, and sweeping views of the raging Pacific. Beachfront suites open directly onto the sand, while freestanding casitas and homes add full-service kitchens and expansive living rooms. Thoughtful touches abound, from in-room bottles of Clase Azul to complimentary chips and guacamole delivered each day at 4 p.m. Be sure to book a signature treatment at the Waldorf Astoria Spa, each inspired by the lunar cycle and the sea. waldorfastorialoscabospedregal.com

GOLDEN GREENS

With postcard views of the Pacific Ocean in the near background, golfers tee up for an 18-hole expedition through dramatic 50-foot sand dunes and lush undulating fairways at Dunes Course. Set in the resort community of Diamante, the course is a bucket list experience for golfing enthusiasts across the globe for its rugged natural beauty. In fact, when designer Davis Love III first set foot on sight, he famously said, “It was like pulling up to St. Andrews.” Players are also treated to a 14-acre practice facility, lively Slider Bar with pre-game refreshments, and several course-side comfort stations with small plates and drinks. Tee times are open for Diamante homeowners or overnight guests (with a three-night minimum stay), or guests of the on-site Nobu and Hard Rock hotels. diamantecabosanlucas.com/golf

STAR SUPPER

Last year, Cocina de Autor achieved something no other restaurant in the region had before – a Michelin star. Tucked within the five-diamond Grand Velas Los Cabos resort, the oceanfront destination features a multi-course menu from chefs Sidney Schutte and Francisco Sixtos, a duo known for bold interpretations and creative twists. Expect Mexican-rooted dishes with global finesse: smoky clams with green apple aguachile and melt-inyour-mouth beef tenderloin abetted by celery root purée, poached beets, and maitake mushrooms. Take your meal in the romantically lit formal dining room on the terrace overlooking a soothing koi pond. loscabos.grandvelas.com.mx

SAND-SATIONAL

No shortage of ultra-high-end dining and wellness experiences line Baja California’s swanky southern tip, but if cravings call for a more laid-back, barefoot-in-thesand outing, the Sand Bar is a local legend. Located directly on the soft white sands of the lively Medano Beach in downtown Cabo, the Sand Bar is a beach club, restaurant, and massage spa, all wrapped in one. (There are even colorful casitas for overnight stays.) The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, slinging fan-famous elote, ceviche, scratch tacos, and seafood platters alongside a stacked menu of specialty cocktails. More than 30 massage tables reside in the open-air terrace overlooking the turquoise sea, and prices are a steal: a single Benjamin will buy two 90-minute sessions. thesandbar.mx

RENEWAL RITUALS

Four Seasons’ hacienda-style resort debuted in Cabo last May to massive fanfare, lauded for its Rivieria-inspired architecture, stunning Sea of Cortez vistas, and amenity-packed suites and villas with outdoor showers and private plunge pools. But the true showerstopper? The Meyer Davis-designed Tierra Mar Spa, a sumptuous seaside sanctuary inspired by the indigenous Kumiai tribe, who were known to harbor a deep connection to their region’s native plants and herbs. The 15,000-square-foot wellness center features ten treatment rooms with private gardens, plus a lush, leafy courtyard with a soothing stream perfect for quiet moments of reflection. There are also salt saunas, eucalyptus steam rooms, and hot and cold plunge pools. fourseasons.com/cabosanlucas/spa
