I recently had the extraordinary privilege of previewing the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo San Lucas at Cabo Del Sol during its soft launch. This stunning property, nestled on the southern coast of Mexico’s Baja peninsula, seamlessly blends luxury, wellness, and cultural immersion. As a selected advisor, I had the unique opportunity to experience firsthand the impeccable standards upheld by this resort, which is a rare feat even among five-star luxury properties during their initial phases.
Located within the exclusive community of Cabo Del Sol, the resort combines modern hacienda-style architecture with breathtaking ocean views and a vibrant ambiance enriched by Mexican music, art, and culture. From the moment we arrived, Chris and I were captivated by the elegance and serenity that this destination offers.
Luxurious Accommodations
During our stay, we were fortunate to experience one of the resort’s multi-level, beachfront private residences. These villas epitomize luxury with private pools, gourmet kitchens, and personal attendant service. Our villa boasted stunning blue-water views of the Sea of Cortez, and the soothing sounds of the surf combined with cool ocean breezes created an ideal setting for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The personalized touch of having a private chef prepare delicious, nutritious meals tailored to our preferences added a unique element of indulgence. It felt like having a private slice of paradise, with full access to the resort’s world-class amenities and services.
Wellness Activities and Adventures
Free-Diving Right Off the Beach
One of the most exhilarating experiences we had was learning to free-dive right off the resort’s beach. Led by the on-site Adventure Team, this activity is perfect for both beginners and experts. Free-diving emphasizes relaxation and self-awareness, providing an incredible way to connect with the underwater world in a personal and respectful manner. The team offered courses and certifications, making it an enriching experience for all.
Whale Watching at Magdalena Bay
From January to mid-March, Cabo San Lucas is a prime location for whale watching, and the resort offers a guided expedition to Magdalena Bay. This biodiversity hotspot is home to Baja’s largest mangrove forest and a large population of Pacific grey whales. Lucky enough we had the unforgettable opportunity to see baby whales frolicking alongside their parents—a truly magical sight. The journey included a helicopter ride and a luxury yacht, adding to the adventure’s exclusivity.
Exploring the Magic Town of Todos Santos
No trip to Cabo San Lucas is complete without a visit to Todos Santos, a charming coastal village an hour north of the resort. Known as Baja’s House of Culture, this “Pueblo Mágico” is a haven for artistic visionaries and culinary enthusiasts. Our private guided tour included strolling through cobblestone streets, visiting the 18th-century Jesuit Mission, and exploring the legendary Hotel California. We ended the day with an exquisite Baja culinary experience that tantalized our taste buds.
Wellness and Relaxation
Massage by the Ocean
While the resort’s spa is set to open by early fall, I had the pleasure of enjoying a 90-minute massage by the ocean in a temporary spa casita. The sound of the waves and the gentle sea breeze provided a natural soundtrack, enhancing the relaxation and making it a truly unique and blissful experience. I can’t wait to return and see the state of the art spa they are currently building!
Culinary Delights
The Four Seasons Cabo Del Sol offers a variety of dining options that cater to all tastes and dietary preferences, making culinary experiences a highlight of our stay.
Dining at Palmeraio
We dined at Palmeraio, a Mediterranean love letter to the Baja Riviera. This ocean-view destination celebrates the flavors of the French and Italian Rivieras with a focus on locally sourced seafood and fresh regionally grown produce. Each dish was a masterpiece, reflecting the vibrant culinary traditions of the region.
Sunset Cocktails and Sushi at Sora Rooftop Bar
One of the highlights of our stay was enjoying a happy hour cocktail at Sora Rooftop Bar. Soaring above the ocean, this sophisticated rooftop lounge pairs stunning views with Latin-spirited drinks crafted by expert mixologists. We toasted another gorgeous Cabo sunset in an atmosphere of relaxation and luxury, accompanied by the best sushi I have ever had. The skyline was the most magnificent hues of pink and blue!
Farm-to-Table Dining
The resort’s signature restaurant emphasizes farm-to-table dining with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The chefs created culinary masterpieces that were not only delicious but also aligned with my wellness goals. From fresh seafood to vibrant salads, every meal was a celebration of the flavors of Baja California.
Private Dining Experiences
For a more intimate dining experience, the resort offers private dining options. One evening, Chris and I enjoyed a romantic dinner on our villa’s terrace, with a personal chef preparing a bespoke menu just for us. It was a magical evening under the stars, with the sound of the waves adding to the enchanting ambiance. Talk about a romantic evening with Chris!
Healthy Breakfasts
Starting each day with a nutritious breakfast is a cornerstone of my wellness routine. Chris really enjoyed feasting at breakfast! The resort’s breakfast offerings included a variety of healthy options, from fresh fruit platters to smoothie bowls and protein-rich dishes. The highlight was a signature Four Seasons breakfast that featured locally inspired dishes, providing the perfect start to our adventurous days.
Embracing Local Culture
Immersing ourselves in the local culture was an essential part of our stay. The Four Seasons Cabo Del Sol offers numerous opportunities to experience the rich heritage of the region.
Art and Music
The resort frequently hosts local artists and musicians, allowing guests to experience the vibrant art and culture of Cabo San Lucas. We attended a live music performance that showcased traditional Mexican music, and the energy was infectious. The art installations around the resort also added a touch of local flair, making every corner a feast for the eyes.
Cultural Workshops
We participated in several cultural workshops, including a cooking class where we learned to make traditional Mexican dishes. The hands-on experience was both fun and educational, and we left with new culinary skills to bring back home. Another highlight was a tequila tasting session, where we learned about the history and production of this iconic Mexican spirit. One of my favorite experiences during our stay, as you all know my love of good tequila! Hey, it’s clean and I like the balance of the 80/20 rule in life!
Adventure and Exploration
For those seeking adventure, the Four Seasons Cabo Del Sol offers a plethora of activities that cater to thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
Water Sports
The resort’s prime location on the Sea of Cortez makes it an ideal spot for water sports. We tried our hand at paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, each activity offering a unique way to explore the crystal-clear waters. The resort’s Adventure Team provided expert guidance and ensured our safety, making the experiences enjoyable and worry-free.
Land Adventures
Beyond the water, there are plenty of land-based adventures to enjoy. We took a guided hike through the stunning landscapes of Baja California, discovering hidden trails and breathtaking vistas. The resort also offers ATV tours and horseback riding (as you know one of my favorite activities), providing exciting ways to explore the rugged beauty of the region.
