Rammed-earth desert hideaway
Rammed-earth pavilions topped with native green roofs blend into granite boulders overlooking Valle de Guadalupe's quiet vine-covered hills.
“High along a boulder-studded slope, the 10 Mira Earth Studios, opened as a hotel in 2023, are like luxury screening rooms…”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
MIRA Earth Studios is unmistakably minimalist in its design, but what looks from a distance like concrete is actually rammed earth.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on the boulder-strewn slopes of Rancho Sordo Mudo, the retreat sits minutes from Valle de Guadalupe's boutique wineries.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass opens onto private platform decks with sunken hot tubs, gas firepits, and kitchens stocked with regional Mexican provisions.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated infinity pool stretches toward the valley horizon, lined with shaded daybeds beneath slatted timber pergolas.
The spa
At the table
Fireside Restaurant prepares open-fire Baja dishes beneath a timber pergola, hosting monthly residencies with guest chefs and local winemakers.
How it began
Architect Juniette Patricia Bermúdez Zarruk sculpted the low-slung studios using compacted soil gathered directly from the surrounding ranch.
