Villa Santa Cruz Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"Perched directly on the beach in Todos Santos, this 24-room hideaway blends hacienda-revival architecture with warm, saturated colors and offers varied accommodations—from breezy tented oceanfront suites and bungalows tucked into tropical greenery to rooftop villas with private hot tubs and fireplaces. Mornings begin to the rhythm of waves from the nearby La Pastora surf break and often a tray at your door with fresh French press coffee or tea, flaky pastries, and a garden-picked bouquet; sunrise horseback rides led by an onsite wrangler provide a grounding, mindful start to the day. The property is centered on a flourishing on-site garden that supplies two distinctive dining experiences—the laid-back beachfront Green Room and the elevated Caracara, whose striking outdoor dining area sits beneath an artful assemblage of twig-like structures—so dishes lean heavily on sun-ripened citrus, hand-harvested herbs, and other kitchen-fresh ingredients. Facilities and activities are designed for both relaxation and adventure, including the Serenity Lap Pool, The Nest spa and seaside yoga, bocce and pickleball, cooking classes, mezcal tastings, beach access, an Observatory Tower for stargazing, and a complimentary shuttle into Todos Santos."
