Retreats

Paradero – Todos Santos, Mexico

Carved into the desert landscape just outside the artistic enclave of Todos Santos, Paradero is a retreat defined by restraint, rhythm, and raw beauty. This is Baja California Sur at its most elemental—where sculptural concrete frames cactus gardens, mountain silhouettes stretch toward the Pacific, and luxury arrives quietly, without performance. Paradero doesn’t ask you to escape the desert; it invites you to move with it.

For Those Who Seek…

• A design-forward desert retreat with architectural depth
• Privacy, space, and a sense of elemental calm
Wellness rooted in movement, nature, and simplicity
• A refined yet unshowy approach to luxury
• Baja California Sur beyond the resort circuit

Legacy

Paradero was conceived as a new expression of desert hospitality—one that blends contemporary Mexican architecture with the ancestral energy of Baja’s terrain. Designed to feel both monumental and meditative, the property balances bold geometric forms with open-air flow, creating a sense of sanctuary that feels grounded rather than indulgent. It’s a place where design serves silence, and space becomes part of the experience.

Rooms & Suites

The accommodations are villas rather than rooms, each offering privacy, volume, and a deep connection to the outdoors. Interiors are minimal yet tactile, with hand-crafted furnishings, earthy tones, and floor-to-ceiling openings that dissolve boundaries between inside and out. Many villas feature outdoor soaking tubs, private terraces, and desert-facing views that shift dramatically with the light. Nights here are quiet, vast, and deeply restorative.

Dining & Culinary Moments

Dining at Paradero is rooted in Baja’s agricultural traditions and coastal proximity. Ingredients are local, seasonal, and thoughtfully prepared, with menus that highlight open-fire cooking, fresh seafood, and native produce. Meals unfold slowly—often outdoors—where the desert breeze and golden-hour light become as essential as what’s on the plate. The experience feels intimate, intentional, and refreshingly unpretentious.

Wellness & Experiences

Wellness at Paradero is experiential rather than prescriptive, anchored by the open-air Ojo de Agua Spa, a sculptural sanctuary designed around elemental rituals of heat, water, and stillness. The spa features hot and cold plunge pools, steam rooms, and treatment spaces carved into the desert environment, encouraging deep physical reset and mental clarity. Beyond the spa, the retreat invites movement and exploration through guided hikes into the surrounding hills, open-air yoga, sound rituals, and immersive bodywork inspired by regional traditions. The architecture itself becomes part of the wellness journey—ramps, staircases, and elevated platforms transforming the property into a landscape meant to be engaged, not merely admired.

Location & Access

Paradero sits just outside Todos Santos, Mexico a Pueblo Mágico known for its creative spirit, galleries, and laid-back surf culture. The retreat is accessible via Los Cabos International Airport, followed by a scenic drive north along the Baja coastline. Its setting feels remote yet connected, offering the best of both solitude and cultural discovery.

Keepsakes

Paradero leaves you with a recalibrated sense of pace—a reminder that luxury doesn’t need excess, and that the desert, when given space, offers clarity in return. It’s the memory of warm stone under bare feet, stars unfiltered by city light, and the quiet satisfaction of having truly slowed down.
