Camino del Mar 1, Pedregal, 23455 Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico

HISTORY

Weary of Mexico City’s urban sprawl, Don Manuel brought his family to Cabo in the 1970s when it was a small fishing village. He acquired the land that would become Pedregal in 1974, recognizing the great potential in its views of both the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Ocean. In 1975, architect, visionary and family patriarch Manuel Diaz Rivera began developing 360-acres of land at the tip of the Baja California peninsula, transforming it into the prestigious neighborhood of Pedregal de Cabo San Lucas. Thirty years later, they developed the gated community with meticulous care into Cabo’s most exclusive neighborhood, saving the community’s last untouched site – 24-acres of breathtaking Cliffside and beachfront land, with unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean and Cabo San Lucas village.

ARCHITECURE/DESIGN

Unique to the property is the 300-meter long tunnel considered an “engineering feat”, which separates the town of Cabo from the Pacific Ocean and provides a dramatic entrance with views of the Pacific Ocean and the humpback whales that make the area their home. Inside the resort, four design firms teamed up to create a community that is both visually stunning and in harmony with Cabo’s natural environment, featuring Mexican-inspired style and art. Nunzio DeSantis of HKS, Inc. laid the architectural groundwork, Paul Duesing Partners designed the interiors, Sylvia Sepielli designed the spa and Charles S. McDaniel of the SWA Group is the landscape architect.

MEETINGS

Two luxuriously appointed boardrooms accommodate high level executive meetings, while a Business Centre provides the services of an office-away-from-the-office.
