Destination Weddings and Honeymoons

There’s a reason Do Not Disturb signs were created. When a refreshing dip is just steps from your bed, there’s no need to fight the crowd for a lounge chair — or even don a swimsuit.

Capella Pedregal - Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
Lively Los Cabos, perched at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, is one of the sunniest spots on earth — nearly 360 days of shine a year — and home to a number of acclaimed resorts. The newest is Capella Pedregal, which sits at the very point where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. What makes it so exclusive? Stellar service, elegant design and oh yes, the fact that this five-star refuge is accessible solely via a dramatic 1,000-foot-long tunnel carved through the heart of a mountain.

The Inside Scoop Each of the 66 rooms and suites features a private terrace with a plunge pool, but for the most indulgent ambience, book one of the eight Capella rooms. These oversize havens have carved wood-beam ceilings, a separate sitting area and a driftwood-back king bed positioned opposite a fireplace. The terrace door opens to an infinity-edge plunge pool with stellar sea views. More watery revelry is on tap inside in the rainforest shower for two.

Out & About Shopping in Cabo San Lucas or sailing on Capella’s exclusive yachts is easily arranged. At sunset, head for the Auriga spa for a couples treatment timed to the phase of the moon, then dine in the signature restaurant Don Manuel’s, or in private by lantern light, your feet in the sand.

The Way to Save The 44 ocean-view rooms are a spacious 820 square feet and also have a fireplace and plunge pool, from $475. Capella rooms from $850.
