Live life in the slow lane on Mexico’s Baja coast
Nestled between the untamed desert and Baja’s rippling waves, Villa Santa Cruz sets a blissful scene. Here, stars light up dinner on the beach, evening bonfires dot the shoreline at sunset and Mexico’s natural beauty shines. Take it all in from luxurious Tented Ocean Suites that promise front-row seats to the majestic Pacific Ocean or soak up the land-and-seascape from your private rooftop hot tub, best enjoyed at moonlight.
This intimate retreat immerses you in Baja California Sur. The Suites and Bungalows are infused with old-world Mexican charm and contemporary comforts. Stroll through the estate’s olive groves and agave field, discovering pickleball courts, bocce games and beehives. Then dip into the pools, with a swim-up bar for afternoon margaritas. And if that gives you a taste for Mexican spirits, the tequila cave also hosts mezcal tastings.
Days at Villa Santa Cruz are designed to be leisurely. But there is much to discover, if you know where to look. Think cantering along the Todos Santos shores and into the desert on horseback. Riding the La Pastora surf break. Or meditation and sound baths in Almarena wellness centre – with curated experiences for recovery and restoration, a lakeside gym and rooftop terrace for yoga with a view. Budding chefs can also master Mexican recipes at cooking classes, with guided tours of the hotel’s kitchen gardens giving a flavour of local cuisine.
Enjoy your stay!
