Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal Named the #1 Resort in Western Mexico by Condé Nast Traveler Readers for Third Consecutive Year

The iconic Cabo San Lucas resort is the highest-ranked resort in Mexico at No. 37 in the world, following the completion of a multi-year transformation rooted in Mexican culture, craftsmanship and heritage

LOS CABOS, Mexico, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal has once again been recognized by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler as the #1 Resort in Western Mexico—and the highest-ranked Mexican property in the world at No. 37—earning the distinction for the third consecutive year in the publication’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards. The recognition follows the completion of a multi-year, property-wide transformation in October 2025 that reimagined the resort’s accommodations, design and guest experiences while deepening its connection to the culture, heritage and craftsmanship of Mexico.

The annual Readers’ Choice Awards are shaped by the experiences and perspectives of Condé Nast Traveler readers, with 798,867 survey responses submitted this year across categories spanning hotels, resorts, destinations and travel experiences worldwide. The 2026 winners are featured on Condé Nast Traveler’s website and in the November issue.

“To be recognized by Condé Nast Traveler readers as the #1 Resort in Western Mexico for the third consecutive year is a tremendous honor and a reflection of our entire team’s hard work, dedication and genuine care for our guests,” said Juan Gonzalez Izquierdo, General Manager of Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal. “We are especially proud to receive this honor following the completion of our resort-wide transformation, which gave us the opportunity to further celebrate our deep connection to the heritage and culture of Mexico—something that has always been central to the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal experience. We are grateful to the guests who continue to choose and champion our resort.”

Luxury Rooted in Mexican Craftsmanship and Culture
 Perched along one of Cabo San Lucas’ most coveted stretches of coastline, Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal occupies an extraordinary 24-acre enclave at the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula. As the first Waldorf Astoria to debut in Mexico, the resort is accessed through Mexico’s only privately owned Dos Mares tunnel, creating a dramatic arrival and an immediate sense of seclusion just minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas.

In October 2025, the resort completed a multi-year, property-wide transformation that elevated the guest experience while celebrating the character and cultural richness of Mexico. The transformation encompasses 112 redesigned accommodations, including guest rooms, suites, residential-style multi-bedroom villas and standalone casitas.

Throughout the resort, the new design seamlessly integrates sophisticated luxury with authentic Mexican artistry. Soothing lighting, bright and inviting spaces, and thoughtful details enhance both comfort and functionality, while textiles, sculptures, artwork, furniture and other décor elements have been thoughtfully sourced from and handcrafted by local artisans across Oaxaca, Baja California Sur, Jalisco and other regions of Mexico. Together, these details create a design narrative deeply rooted in the country’s rich creative heritage, resulting in a more authentic expression of luxury—one shaped by the people, artistry and traditions of Mexico rather than simply inspired by them.

Mexican Culture Woven Throughout the Guest Experience
The resort’s connection to Mexico extends well beyond its design, woven throughout its culinary and wellness offerings and expressed through the country’s rich traditions and the spirit of the surrounding destination. The award-winning Waldorf Astoria Spa, which recently refreshed its salon, offers an elevated approach to wellness deeply rooted in Mexico’s ancient folk-healing traditions, incorporating native herbs, rituals and energetic wellness practices into its treatments.

This sense of place carries through to the resort’s culinary program, including Don Manuel’s, El Farallon, Mar y Leña, Crudo and Beach Club, where alfresco dining celebrates the surrounding landscape and the Pacific Ocean. At the heart of the culinary program is TRAVESÍA, a nine-course tasting menu that pays homage to one of Mexico’s most iconic culinary traditions—the taco—reimagining it through an elevated, multi-course experience.

The resort’s commitment to personalized hospitality is equally central to the guest experience. Through its True Waldorf Service, dedicated Personal Concierges are available 24 hours a day to provide individualized assistance, from arranging dining and spa reservations to curating destination experiences and fulfilling special requests.

Together, the resort’s dramatic beachfront setting, Mexican craftsmanship and artistry, destination-inspired culinary and wellness experiences, and highly personalized service define a distinctive expression of luxury in Cabo San Lucas—one deeply rooted in the culture, character and spirit of Mexico.

The 2026 Readers' Choice Awards are published on Condé Nast Traveler's website at cntraveler.com/rca and celebrated in the November issue.
