NOVATO, CA, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EDG, the global hospitality design and branding studio, is pleased to announce that its design work for Four Seasons Cabo San Lucas has won in the Resort category of the 2025 AHEAD Americas Awards. The AHEAD Awards celebrate excellence in hospitality experience and design across the Americas, and this accolade affirms the project’s success in weaving narrative-driven, locally rooted design into a world-class resort. — Jennifer Johanson, CEO & President, EDG
Project Vision & Design Highlights:
EDG approached the Four Seasons Cabo San Lucas project as more than designing the public spaces for a highly-anticipated resort: it was a canvas for storytelling through material, craft, and artistry. The design team curated immersive food, beverage, and social spaces that both respond to and amplify the region’s rich cultural and natural identity.
Key elements of the design include:
Palmerio (Lobby Restaurant): A Mediterranean-inflected seaside aesthetic entertwined with Baja color, texture, and craft. The layered palette of shades of Mediterranean blue, caned furniture inspired by Modernist French seaside seating, encaustic tile, terracotta cove ceilings, and glazed pottery expresses the meeting of Mexico and European artistic heritage.
Cayao by Richard Sandoval: A bold and sculptural space that visually channels the fusion of Peruvian and Japanese of the Nikkei culinary tradition, executed through exquisite local craftsmanship—latilla ceilings, custom tiles, sculptural millwork, and dramatic dining terraces.
Sora Rooftop Bar: Nestled cliffside above the Sea of Cortez, this open-air lounge captures the soft glow of Baja sunsets with warm hues, sculptural forms, and playful lighting. A driftwood centerpiece anchors the experience, while built-in bancos and firepit seating take full advantage of the location.
Coraluz, Bar Brisal, Mercado, El Taller, Adventure Center, and more: Each venue carries its own identity, layered into the larger fabric of the resort. From poolside bars to artisan studios and a next-generation adventure hub, EDG designed every space to invite discovery, community, and visual delight.
Throughout the resort, locally sourced materials and craftsmanship—glazed clay, clay tile murals, rammed earth, woven textural finishes—ground the design in its place. Contemporary and vintage art pieces, including an exceptional collection of traditional pina pottery, add an additional layer of richness and detail. The design is built around local culture, makes the most of the natural surroundings, and creates a memorable guest journey.
EDG has received numerous awards for this project, including the 2024 Gold Key Award, 2024 LIV Hospitality Awards (Jury’s Top Pick/Luxury) and the 2025 International Hotel & Property Awards (Resort Hotel Award).
