Past the glitz of Cabo San Lucas, the seclusion of Capella Pedregal awaits.

As one of the world’s most spectacular and sought-after resort destinations, Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas sets the stage for some of the finest sport fishing, golf, and outdoor adventures available anywhere. But just beyond the hustle of downtown, through a tunnel carved into the heart of a mountain, sits the area’s newest and most luxurious resort, Capella Pedregal.

Boasting a prized and secluded cliffside setting where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, the intimate oceanfront getaway of Capella Pedregal, with just 66 guest accommodations, is Baja’s latest hidden gem. Authentic local culture is reflected throughout Capella Pedregal—from its sophisticated Mexican interiors to tequila tastings in the interactive cocina.

All guestrooms feature sumptuous amenities, including a private terrace and infinity-edge plunge pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean, a fireplace; custom furnishings with handcrafted Mexican details, and telescopes for stargazing. Once the stomach starts grumbling, however, there are plenty of options. Enjoy dinner at Capella Pedregal’s signature restaurant, Don Manuel’s, for contemporary Mexican cuisine, poolside dining at Beach Club, or lighter fare at El Farallon overlooking the ocean.

The resort’s 12,000-square-foot Auriga spa features outdoor treatment rooms and a modern fitness center. Capella Pedregal is also the only luxury resort and spa with immediate proximity to the world-class Los Cabo Marina, your base camp for ocean cruises, sailing, and fishing. Need a little more adventure in your vacation? Then try your hand at surfing and ATV riding or soar from cliff to cliff on a zipline. Of course, if staying here for a short time simply isn’t enough, there’s always the option of purchasing one of 31 shared-ownership Capella Residences and 20 private, full-ownership Capella Casonas. 877-247-6688, capellapedregal.com. —Stacey Marcus
