Miniview: Four Seasons Resort at Cabo Del Sol gives a modern twist on traditions

Inspired by the hotel’s setting on an old agave farm, Meyer Davis draws from the hotel’s locale and spirited history to create a textured and layered narrative for this Four Seasons Resort. The interiors are brought to life with vibrant textiles, patterns and colours native to Cabo, and remarkable views, taking guests on a journey of discovery.

Keeping true to the studio’s heritage, Meyer Davis provided a modern twist on traditions through the use of indigenous materials including ojinaga stone, parota and Mexican alder, which are elevated with the works of local artisans. For a more grounded feel, stucco and terracotta roof tiles are complemented by roughhewn beams. Contemporary touches, introduced through steel and glass doors, create a captivating contrast, allowing the lush greenery, playful tiles and local art to stand out against a backdrop of understated elegance.

Hospitality design and branding studio EDG designed the resort’s dining experiences, including Palmerio, Sora Rooftop Bar, Coraluz, Cayao, and 360 Baja, in collaboration with celebrity chef Richard Sandoval. They also crafted the adult and family poolside areas, adventure centre, Mercado, and the resident artist studio.

Guests enter into the lobby infused with art authentic to Latin America and the Baja Peninsula. In Meyer Davis fashion, the public spaces boast a residential, welcoming quality as the lobby is reflective of an old friend’s living room with a range of eclectic furniture. Just off to the side is the tequila tasting room. Influenced by the surrounding landscape, the space is filled with blue and brown tones, greenery and wooden beams across the ceiling. While guests sip on tequila, they can enjoy breathtaking ocean views framed by three grand arches. It’s also the prime spot for whale watching from inside the resort for a unique and impactful experience created by the design team.

Influences of the region continue into the guestrooms with architectural screens inspired by fishing nets and decorative knots, while earthy canvas tones harmonise beautifully with richly glazed artisanal tiles. A sense of luxury permeates the space, accentuated by a ceramic light fixture crafted from the native clay of the region by Taller LU’UM. The sculptural installation is assembled on-site by hand, so no two structures look exactly the same.

The colours of the guestrooms are muted with neutral tones that are heightened by the wooden and terracotta materials. Each guestroom has its own balcony or terrace, full of lush planters and vibrant flowers where guests are fully immersed in Cabo’s native elements.

The spa acts as a sanctuary of calmness, emphasising a seamless integration with the outdoors. With ten spa treatment rooms featuring large windows that offer views of the lush greenery and accessibility to a private garden, such amenities enhance the spa’s connection to the earth and its surroundings. The salt sauna, eucalyptus steam room and plunge pools immediately transport guests into a state of tranquillity.

Situated along the beach, The Arch (El Arco) accentuates the hotel’s captivating view of the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez. Guests marvel at the beach where fishermen, sailors and explorers have indulged in the art of surfing since the 1950s. Meyer Davis paid a stylish homage to this laid-back ‘California lifestyle’ in Baja by adorning the elevator lobbies with vintage surfboards.
