Four Seasons in Cabo San Lucas
This new Four Seasons hotel opened in May 2024 in Cabo San Lucas. The resort’s magic begins with an allegory of the “lucky birds,” a Mexican tradition involving these small, trained animals that, with their beaks, pull out a piece of paper to reveal a truth that will resonate with your wishes. Here, something similar happens: before arriving at one of the 96 rooms or the 61 residences, villas, and haciendas, you will receive a prayer that foreshadows the surprises that await you in this building inspired by the great traditional haciendas, but with a renewed vision in keeping with Mexican contemporary style; minimalist luxury is the star. This atmosphere, in colors that harmonize with the beautiful desert landscapes of Los Cabos and the Sea of Cortez, was conceived by architect Robert Glazier and designers Meyer Davis and EDG.
Pleasant Surprises from Four Seasons in Cabo San Lucas
After a 40-minute drive from Los Cabos International Airport, as soon as you check in, a golf cart will be ready to escort you. The winding route, amidst white walls and sand-colored paths, departs from the orderly and uniform construction of standardized hotels. After this brief tour of this new Four Seasons hotel in Cabo San Lucas, your accommodations will unfold before you, and it’s time to discover the enviable amenities.
One option is the Ocean-View Casita Room, which captivates with its spaciousness and views of the natural landscape. It also has an outdoor shower where light filters through the beams, creating a deep connection with the present. Or, the Oceanfront Presidential Villa, with three separate rooms and four pools overlooking the ocean, is ideal for groups of friends or families of up to eight people.
After settling in, it’s time to plan an itinerary that combines pleasure and regeneration. The Tierra Mar Spa stands out with treatments inspired by the ancestral wisdom of the Kumiai community, fused with global techniques for an experience of serenity. Among its signature treatments, “Olas del Mar” offers a California-style massage that emulates the movement of water to relieve tension, accompanied by sound therapy. You’ll also find artisan classes that will stimulate your creativity, such as the texture painting workshop. And, for a celestial experience, observe the movement of stars and planets with expert guides through telescopes.
Gastronomy that honors the product and its history
Another reason why this new Four Seasons hotel in Cabo San Lucas is epic is its culinary offerings. Leading the symphony of eight culinary experiences are Executive Chef Miguel Baltazar and Director of Food and Beverage, Matt Myers. In Chef Baltazar’s words, luxury lies in the storytelling: each dish becomes a canvas that tells its origin through high-quality products. They achieve this from bites reminiscent of the seafood restaurants and street carts of the beaches of Sinaloa, Sonora, and Baja California, in front of the adults-only pool at Bar Brisal, which offers classic mixology and fresh coconuts, to the Mercado, a gourmet deli offering some of Mexico’s finest elixirs and foods. You’ll also find Mexican wines from regions like San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas, Rancho San Josemaría cheese from Querétaro, and charcuterie from the State of Mexico.
Three Restaurants to Savor This New Hotel
We could go on and on detailing the other creations tailor-made for globetrotters, but now it’s time to highlight the three restaurants (open to the public) that are sure to become culinary destinations. Indulge in the delights of the new Four Seasons hotel in Cabo San Lucas!
Coraluz
This Baja-Mexican restaurant welcomes you for lunch and, occasionally, for special dinners from this new Four Seasons hotel in Cabo San Lucas. Here, Chef Miguel revisits his philosophy of traceability, as he is an ambassador for Pesca con Futuro and works with sustainable fishing farms and artisanal fishing cooperatives. Be sure to order the Baja taquitos, the Caesar salad, or Mimi’s crab tacos with plum molito, made with mild crab from Veracruz.
Cayao by Richard Sandoval
Under the vision and direction of renowned chef Richard Sandoval (world-renowned for his more than 60 concepts), this restaurant at the new Four Seasons hotel in Cabo San Lucas formidably exemplifies Peruvian Nikkei cuisine. At Cayao, fresh Baja ingredients are used for delicacies like the sushi and ceviche bar; the wagyu nigiri and ceviche with citrus espuma stand out. In addition, it features hearty dishes like green curry chicken and short rib rice with mushrooms. We recommend ordering from the center and letting your appetite guide the pace.
Palmerio
Inspired by the splendor of the French and Italian Rivieras, this restaurant at the new Four Seasons hotel in Cabo San Lucas celebrates the freshness of Baja California ingredients. Its menu reflects the luxury of tasting bites executed with clean technique and polished flavors. A trip to Palmerio must begin with the incredible Baja Shellfish Farms oyster, served with a raspberry mignonette. The homemade pasta dishes pay homage to Italian traditions; the squid-inked fettuccine topped with Baja red lobster is a must-try, achieving a delicate and deeply satisfying combination. To top it all off, there’s the Earth Ocean Farms totoaba, carefully baked and accompanied by a shermula sauce that caresses the palate and evokes the sea with its smoothness. The finale of this experience comes from pastry chef Guillermo Soto, who has created an exceptional tiramisu. With Veracruz coffee and Mexican cacao, this dessert achieves a balance of memorable textures that, according to Chef Baltazar, “will have you traveling miles to try this dessert.”
