Book the Paradero Todos Santos with VIP Benefits

Tucked away along the untouched coastline of Baja California Sur, Paradero Todos Santos is not just a hotel—it's a destination built around the rhythms of nature, the traditions of community, and the power of purposeful travel. Launched in February 2021 by Pablo Carmona and Joshua Kremer, Paradero redefines the concept of luxury by replacing extravagance with authenticity, adventure, and spiritual depth. Every corner of this property invites travelers to immerse themselves in a lifestyle that is rooted in Mexican heritage, environmental stewardship, and holistic wellbeing.

Where Desert Meets Ocean and Spirit Finds Space

The setting alone is worth the journey. Paradero is located on five pristine acres in La Mesa farming community—an agricultural haven composed of 160 acres of family-owned land. The surrounding landscape unfolds in five unique ecosystems: vast stretches of desert dotted with ancient Cardon cacti, the imposing Sierra La Laguna mountain range, unspoiled beaches on the Pacific coast, lush palm-studded oases, and expansive farmland that paints the horizon green. This dramatic natural diversity is what gives Paradero its sensory depth and meditative energy.

Living Architecture That Dissolves Boundaries

At Paradero, architecture doesn't separate—it dissolves. Designed by award-winning architects Ruben Valdez and Yashar Yektajo, the space blurs the line between interior and exterior, creating a living structure that flows in harmony with its surroundings. The 41 suites are shaped with triangular geometries, an homage to the sacred symbols of Mayan culture, and embrace the open landscape. Garden Suites provide hammocks and soaking tubs hidden in cactus gardens; Sky Suites come with rooftop terraces and suspended star nets for celestial stargazing. The crown jewel is the Master Casita, a three-level oasis with panoramic views, a kitchenette, dining area, and private plunge pool.

Everything here—from the beige concrete that merges with the desert to locally sourced wood and handcrafted furniture—has been chosen to promote peace, presence, and connection. Inside, interiors designed by B Huber create cozy sanctuaries, while outside, over 20,000 native plants cultivated by landscape architects at Polen amplify the hotel's mission of blending into the environment, not competing with it.

Dining as a Journey of the Senses

Cuisine at Paradero Todos Santos is far more than nourishment—it's a cultural and emotional journey curated by Executive Chef Eduardo Rios. Drawing inspiration from Mexican, Japanese, and French culinary traditions, the open-air restaurant sources all ingredients locally, often from the hotel's own organic garden or the surrounding farms. Rios, a protégé of Enrique Olvera and an alumnus of Pujol, brings an artistic, soulful touch to every dish.

The menu changes with the seasons and reflects the bounty of Baja: freshly caught fish from the Pacific, sun-ripened vegetables from nearby fields, and heirloom corn tortillas handmade in clay ovens. Dining highlights include the Pericúe Omakase experience, an intimate five-course tasting menu that fuses traditional techniques with avant-garde presentation. Notably, the kitchen operates without freezers, underscoring a commitment to freshness, seasonality, and sustainability.

Wellness Rooted in Ancient Wisdom

Paradero's Ojo de Agua Spa is shaded by a grove of palm trees and designed as a retreat for the body and soul. Inspired by the secret watering holes of Baja, the spa honors indigenous traditions passed down for generations. Guests can take part in transformative rituals like the Yenekamu, a Pericú therapy that harmonizes physical and emotional energy, or the Niparaja y Anajicondi couples treatment, which incorporates the damiana herb to promote intimacy and balance.

Beyond massages and body treatments, guests can participate in ancient ceremonies like Temazcal, a sweat lodge ritual that offers spiritual cleansing. Modern wellness is also fully embraced, with yoga, functional training, and meditation sessions held daily, reinforcing the hotel's philosophy of inner exploration and healing.

Experiences That Transform

What truly sets Paradero apart is its all-inclusive experience program designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and personal growth. Guests are invited to surf the waves at Cerritos or San Pedrito, hike the dramatic Pacific cliffs, or cycle through sun-drenched farmland. There are cooking classes that teach sustainable culinary techniques, farming tutorials that bring guests closer to the earth, and guided art walks through the vibrant streets of Todos Santos, a town recognized as a Pueblo Mágico for its cultural richness.

The experiences are immersive yet approachable, and they are designed with the intention of leaving guests transformed. Whether it's learning to ride a wave or meditating in the early morning sun, Paradero's curated activities ask travelers to be present, engage deeply, and return home changed.

Catamaran Adventures and Oceanic Exploration

The magic of Paradero also extends to the sea. "Paradero at the Sea" is a luxurious sailing experience aboard a custom-built 46-foot catamaran that journeys through the turquoise waters of the Sea of Cortez. With space for eight to ten guests, the catamaran features expansive lounging nets, plush outdoor seating, and full service from a private chef and guide. Whether for a day sail or an overnight journey, the experience offers rare access to some of Mexico's most unexplored marine environments. Ocean safaris and snorkeling expeditions are also available from October to March, allowing guests to dive even deeper into nature's wonders.

A Community-Driven Mission

Paradero Todos Santos doesn't just operate within a community—it actively supports it. Through the Paradero Foundation, two percent of all overnight revenue is funneled into environmental conservation, educational initiatives, infrastructure development, and affordable housing for locals. This thoughtful approach ensures that tourism contributes meaningfully to the preservation of both culture and ecology.

Weddings, Events, and Private Escapes

For those seeking to celebrate life's milestones or host transformative group retreats, Paradero offers five distinct venues, including a botanical amphitheater and a half-moon infinity pool framed by desert vistas. With space for up to 250 guests, the property is ideal for bespoke weddings, corporate gatherings, or wellness-focused retreats. The upcoming Villa Suites, launching in 2025, will further enhance the property's family-friendly offerings with multi-bedroom accommodations and private experiences curated for every age.

Getting There and Staying Connected

Reaching Paradero Todos Santos is effortless. Direct flights to San José del Cabo (SJD) are available from major U.S. cities, and the hotel offers coordinated airport transfers as well as complimentary shuttles to nearby towns like Todos Santos and Pescadero. Once on-site, guests can stay effortlessly connected with complimentary WiFi, yet most find themselves drawn away from screens and into nature's rhythm.

The Final Word

Paradero Todos Santos is not a hotel to be checked into—it's a space to surrender to. It speaks to travelers who crave meaning in their journeys, who wish to reconnect with their bodies, their spirit, and the land beneath their feet. With every detail designed to awaken the senses and every moment curated for transformation, Paradero stands as a beacon for the future of conscious travel. Here, you don't just stay. You return transformed.
