What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
with its breezy design and gorgeous open-air spaces, the adults-only Kimpton Mas Olas nails the assignment.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Coastal dunes run down to the Pacific surf, and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains rise immediately inland.
The rooms
Private terraces hold daybeds looking toward the water, and many rooms open onto outdoor showers or rooftop viewing decks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged daybeds and palapas line the curved infinity pool, looking past cactus hedges toward the Pacific surf.
The spa
Hydrotherapy circuits wind through open-air gardens, and therapists mix estate herbs into custom compresses and essential oils.
The gym
Battle ropes and weights sit on an outdoor turf patio, flanked by dedicated studios for Pilates and yoga.
Restaurant
Centro
The shaded terrace serves Baja staples and garden greens. At the counter, baristas pour Mexican coffee roasted in Veracruz.
At the table
Chefs grill whole fish over beach campfires at Kahal, and Botánica serves wood-fired dishes inside the organic farm plots.
How it began
The site was a poblano chile farm in 1938, decades before a surfer built an inn named for the waves.
