What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
made up of just three rooms housed in a low-lying whitewashed building surrounded by desert gardens.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Pacific beach is a fifteen-minute walk away. Downtown Todos Santos and its art galleries sit a short drive inland.
The rooms
Each studio opens onto cactus gardens, and an exterior staircase leads to a private rooftop deck facing the ocean.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The second-level pool sits beneath a timber pergola, looking out across desert vegetation toward the Pacific.
At the table
Chef Tomás prepares private dinners on request, served out on the terrace with bottles from the wine cellar.
How it began
Founders Tomás and Daniel conceived the property during a 2021 road trip through the Baja California peninsula.
