Paradero Todos Santos
Paradero Todos Santos is an adults-only boutique wellness hotel set amid a swath of desert (within the La Mesa farming community) and located along the Baja Peninsula about 50 miles north of Cabo San Lucas. From the moment guests step onto hotel grounds, they're whisked away to a place of calm where they can do everything or nothing at all. However, what truly sets this 35-suite property apart from others in the area is that all activities, from meditation classes to surfing excursions, are included in the cost.
What You Need to Know
The Look of Paradero Todos Santos
On the drive up to Paradero Todos Santos, visitors will see the "activity-inclusive" hotel jutting out of the desert, looking more like a brutalist-style sand castle than a luxury retreat. Inside the hotel, guests will find the Living Room, a covered outdoor pavilion where they can take in the serene desert ambiance. There's also an infinity edge pool overlooking rolling hills in the distance, where they can order drinks at a swim-up bar or just enjoy lounging in the sun. Each of the hotel's minimalist suites continues the brutalist-inspired design with clean lines, warm lighting, natural textures, and stone surfaces.
The Vibe at Paradero Todos Santos
The hotel, about a 20-minute drive from the coast, attracts active travelers looking for a wealth of activities as well as relaxation away from the Peninsula's bustling beach towns. Trendy travelers flock to this property, which perfectly blends stunning architecture and a warm, welcoming vibe. The fact that it's home to Michelin-recognized restaurant Tenoch, which showcases fire-based cooking done on a Japanese Hibachi grill or in a Mexican clay comal, doesn't hurt either. Reservations for Tenoch are highly encouraged.
