Desierto Azul, Todos Santos, Baja California, Mexico - Explore & Book
"Just outside the sleepy arty town of Todos Santos in Baja California Sur lies Desierto Azul, a hidden haven for environmentally conscious travellers seeking peace and rejuvenation. With only four spacious and organically designed units, this sustainable retreat marries minimalist living with high-end luxury and stunning views of the Baja cacti, desert mountains and the sound of rolling ocean waters that lap the nearby beach. Everything about Desierto Azul is curated to have as little impact as possible – the entire property is powered by solar energy, including the heated saltwater infinity pool. Wastewater is recycled for irrigation, plastic is banned and the onsite restaurant is dedicated to plant-based cuisine and the promotion of healthy indulgence. The organic mantra also extends to the cool cowboy-chic design, sumptuous natural furnishings and high-end beauty products. Food is a focus. Onsite food options are vegan specialties including organic breakfasts, and the resort also runs a calendar of plant-based cookery courses in its own kitchen studio. If you can tear yourself away from the pool and those sunrise/sunset views, nearby Todos Santos is an artistic enclave with shops, markets and eateries where you can while away a balmy afternoon or evening, soaking up the local colour.
