Location
Paradero Todos Santos is located on a five-and-a-half-acre plot in a vibrant farming community, just an hour north of Cabo San Lucas. Unlike many hotels in Todos Santos, this resort is about 20 minutes from the beach, with the charming town of Todos Santos a 10-minute drive away. This unique setting encourages guests to explore the diverse ecosystems of Baja California beyond its famous beaches.
Accommodations
The hotel offers 35 thoughtfully designed rooms that prioritize comfort and simplicity. Guests can choose from:
Garden Suites: These rooms come with hammocks and outdoor soaking tubs, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.
Rooftop Suites: Featuring open-air lounging areas and "star nets" for stargazing, these suites provide stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Each room is designed to blend seamlessly with nature, creating a peaceful atmosphere without unnecessary frills.
Atmosphere and clientele
As an adults-only hotel, Paradero Todos Santos promotes a calm and sophisticated environment. The absence of televisions encourages guests to disconnect from screens and immerse themselves in the serene surroundings. This makes it an ideal spot for couples or individuals looking to relax and recharge.
Dining
Dining at Paradero is a treat, especially considering its recognition in the Michelin Guide Mexico 2024. The restaurant features a farm-to-table menu that highlights local ingredients, many sourced from the hotel’s own gardens. Guests can enjoy their meals at the bar overlooking the open-air kitchen, allowing them to witness the culinary process while savoring fresh, delicious dishes.
Amenities
Despite its minimalist design, Paradero Todos Santos offers plenty of amenities to enhance your stay:
Infinity Pool: A beautiful pool overlooking a cacti forest, complete with a convenient swim-up bar.
Fitness Center: A small but well-equipped space for those who want to keep up with their workouts.
Open-Air Spa: A tranquil setting for relaxation treatments surrounded by nature.
Wellness Experiences: Guests can participate in sound healing sessions or try the traditional Temazcal ceremony for a unique wellness experience.
Local activities and excursions
Paradero encourages guests to engage with Baja California's natural beauty through various activities:
Yoga sessions with breathtaking views
Guided hiking and biking tours
Surfing lessons at nearby beaches
Cooking classes featuring local cuisine
Farming experiences to connect with the land
Need to know
I suggest pairing this destination with a more beachfront property, either in Todos Santos or in Los Cabos.
