Rancho Pescadero
History & Story:
Immersed in the uncomplicated pleasures of Baja’s striking landscape, embraced by wild deserts, pounding surf and majestic mountain ranges, Rancho Pescadero has been the most sought-after hotel in Todos Santos since it first opened with just 12 rooms in 2009. Spending the past couple of years in respite, the property has been consciously approaching a reinvention that raises the bar on responsible development and elevates the guest experience, taking travelers on a voyage of self-discovery and personal enrichment. This October, Rancho Pescadero will unveil a ground-up transformation inclusive of 103 suites and villas on 30 sprawling oceanfront acres where barefoot luxury meets Mexican soul.

Main Strengths, Special Touch:
Just an hour north of Cabo near the artist’s enclave of Todos Santos, Rancho Pescadero is a destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the nature, rich culture and beauty of Mexico’s Baja region. A playground of 30 beachfront acres located beneath the soaring peaks of the Sierra Laguna mountains, Rancho Pescadero is a restorative retreat where nature, wellness, and sustainably sourced cuisine reign supreme and travelers are guided through a journey of personal enrichment designed to restore their mind, body and spirit. Amenities include 103 luxury suites and oceanfront villas with curated spaces designed to inspire a mix of indoor and outdoor living; nine lush gardens; an ethnobotanical culinary concept that includes a farm and Huerta; an outdoor wellness center complete with a full-service spa, apothecary, and wide array of fitness and yoga/meditation offerings; and multiple dining concepts that include a sprawling oceanfront restaurant. While the guest experience leaves nothing to be desired, Rancho Pescadero’s sincere and soulful approach — a genuine interest in the wellbeing of its people and local community, is what set the hotel apart and creates a memorable legacy for the small fishing village of El Pescadero.

HOTEL FEATURES
Accommodation:
• Number of suites: 84 Suites
• Number of Luxury rooms: 13 Villas
• Number of rooms, (keys) in all: The resort’s 103 suites and villas feature clean lines, neutral tones and textures that add vibrance while allowing nature to shine through. Local designer Alejandra Templeton takes travelers on a journey through Mexico from the moment they enter; Strategically spread across the property to ensure guests have a front row seat to nature’s live show, the suites have roof decks that offer panoramic ocean views and patios with plush day beds that encourage a mix of indoor and outdoor living. Tucked into the dunes, twelve oceanfront villas are personalized with plunge pools, fire pits and private beach access. Striking bathrooms decorated with peacock green talavera wall tiling and free-standing, oversized black terrazzo bathtubs lead to outdoor patios with rainfall showers, flagstone and sand flooring and indigenous plants. A double sink area with floor-to-ceiling windows brings the outside in. 96% of the resort’s accommodations have ocean or coastal views, including its ten penthouses and single Hacienda, which can be converted into 2 and 3-bedroom villas.
Restaurants and bars:
Rancho Pescadero’s ethnobotanical culinary program invites travelers to savor flavors gathered from the earth, the ocean and the spirit of Mexico. BOTANICA garden restaurant honors ingredients from the property’s Huerta and El Pescadero’s agricultural community, which is prolific with strawberry, herb, vegetable and chili farms. Centered around the restaurant’s barbacoa pit, the resort’s signature hangover experience begins with preparations for slowly roasting meat underground over a 12-hour period while sipping local spirits such as pulque and tepache around the fire. The next morning, guests are invited to unearth their bounty and enjoy it with handmade tortillas fresh off the comal. This style of cooking using the earth traces back to ancient Mayan civilizations. At CENTRO — the heart of the property — black walls decorated with milagros made with punctured tin, designed to replicate those found in local churches, are juxtaposed by the soft sands and ocean waves in the distance. Two swimming pools, a discreetly camouflaged concierge desk and a rooftop breakfast bar with vast ocean views where guests can count the migrant whales create an idyllic gathering place. At Centro Café, an all-day menu of classic Mexican dishes features freshly brewed coffee from Doce Cuarenta, a cafe in Todos Santos that works exclusively with Mexican producers. KAHAL oceanfront restaurant is arguably one of the most luxurious spots to spend an afternoon or evening admiring Baja’s stunning sunsets. With a sweeping, curved infinity pool as its piece de resistance, the restaurant is decorated with shades of rose and shimmering pearl designed to resemble the inside of a seashell, with a large mural of ocean waves that lights up when the sun sets. A menu of fresh seafood sourced from fisherman in nearby Punta Lobos is accompanied by an elegant raw bar with a selection of crudos, oysters and ceviche treated with elevated preparations. By day, guests can unwind in cenote-style jacuzzis and double-loungers that float inside the pool while enjoying uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean. By night, fire pits cater to cozy conversations over the sounds of the ocean.
Wellness:
• The resort’s 25,000 square foot spa and wellness center evokes the feeling of being in a sacred space. A central outdoor water feature resembling a cenote adds to its mystical vibe. An apothecary with a philosophy rooted in the wisdom of plants invites visitors to pick herbs from the adjacent gardens to create their own Baja blend of soaks, teas, masks and scrubs. In this playground for physical and spiritual wellbeing, bespoke wellness programs are tailored to the individual. A hydrotherapy circuit with an ice fountain, steam room, experience shower and Himalayan salt sauna; twelve treatment nests; two yoga shalas and a reformer Pilates studio are just the start. A shaded relaxation pavilion, Olympic-sized lap pool edged with palm trees, Pickleball courts and an indoor/outdoor gym with TRX and state-of-the-art equipment round out offerings. Here, a variety of daily rituals, including sound bath healings, earthing mediations and native cacao ceremonies are best enjoyed with a backdrop of the sun dipping over the horizon, occasionally meeting the moon that rises over the Sierra de la Laguna mountains when the timing is just right.
