"As a resort that claims to be the first in Mexico to introduce an experience-based lodging model, this property sits in front of a palm tree oasis about 20 minutes from the beach and comprises a series of brutalist-inspired structures by architects Ruben Valdez and Yashar Yektajo, designed in golden shades to blend into the sandy surroundings. The desert tones let the plants in the 100,000-square-foot botanical garden pop—red sand verbena, Mojave yucca, and Shaw’s agave—and though the outdoor spa and half-moon-shaped infinity pool make it hard to leave, it would be a shame to miss guided hikes through cactus fields to the deserted Las Palmas beach, taco tours of the best local spots in Todos Santos, or private surf lessons. Custom boards sit in the open-air living room, an airy sanctuary where guests kick back post-adventure in anticipation of seafood-centric meals prepared by chef Eduardo Ríos, an alum of Enrique Olvera’s Mexico City restaurant Pujol." - Lissa Poirot
