Capella Pedregal Debuts Today in Cabo, Opening its Doors to an Exclusive Hideaway Experience Steeped in Mexican Mystique

CABO SAN LUCAS, MEXICO – July 13, 2009 – Today, Capella Pedregal, Cabo San Lucas’s hottest new resort, makes its long-awaited debut. Boasting a prized and secluded cliffside setting where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez, this intimate oceanfront hideaway, with just 66 guest accommodations, affords a standard of personalized service no other resort can match. Authentic local culture is reflected throughout Capella Pedregal – from its sophisticated Mexican interiors to tequila tastings in the interactive cocina.

Early guests gain an advantage on the Capella Pedregal experience thanks to introductory rates and packages that start at $475 per room, per night and include an array of enticing extras such as daily resort credits, complimentary spa treatments and more.*

"We're thrilled to be welcoming our first guests to Capella Pedregal today," said Peter Bowling, the resort's general manager. "We're confident that with our unsurpassed locale, distinctive design elements, and the caring, intuitive service of our staff, Capella Pedregal will be one of the most sought-after resorts in Mexico."

Upon arrival, guests emerge from a 1,000-foot private tunnel carved through the mountainside to find a breathtaking expanse of azure sky and sea - an exclusive haven just minutes away from lively downtown Cabo, yet seemingly worlds apart. Among the highlights they’ll experience during their stay:

• A selection of 66 sprawling guest rooms – each with a private plunge pool and direct ocean views - that blend modern and traditional Mexican design elements. Guestrooms range from 600 square feet to a 4,000-square-foot Presidential Suite.
• A staff of Personal Assistants, a Capella brand signature, contact each guest prior to arrival and are on hand to arrange everything from dining reservations to yacht excursions
• The signature Auriga spa – a uniquely Bajan vision that represents the first-ever Mexican spa by renowned spa designer Sylvia Sepielli. With treatments informed by local healing traditions and the phases of the moon, the 12,000-square-foot Auriga features distinctive treatment pods that float on a private pool; two deluxe couples suites with private tub and direct pool access; ladies and gentlemen’s active and relaxation areas; steam, sauna and ice rooms; a private spa pool; and a private 24-hour fitness facility, complete with personal training consultations.
