Pacifico Norte Vipp Guesthouse Todos Santos
Todos Santos, Mexico
Vibe
Sunlit terraces yield to shaded pergolas and evening fire pits, offering an unhurried rhythm shaped by desert silence and Pacific breezes.
“Rammed-earth desert showpiece”
Monochromatic rammed-earth pavilions by PPAA house modular Vipp furnishings, custom branch shutters, and open desert courtyards.
An on-call private concierge coordinates in-villa massage bodywork, private chef dinners, and vintage 4x4 expedition vehicles.
Set amid cardón cactus and Baja scrub, moments from La Pastora surf breaks and regional artisan workshops.
In the desert corridor north of Todos Santos, two minutes from La Pastora surf break.
Rooms
Bedrooms open onto private terraces with ocean views, while woven branch shutters cast shifting shadow patterns across the interior walls.
Wellness
A circular rooftop plunge pool captures panoramic coastal sunsets, paired with a private padel court and post-surf outdoor showers.
Backstory
Created as the Danish design house's first North American retreat, the compound uses thick compacted earth to naturally cool desert days.
The neighborhood
Tucked along dirt tracks in the Las Tunas corridor, the enclave borders quiet farming parcels and deserted Pacific beaches north of town.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
