The house, in four parts.

Nereidas is a small hospitality idea rooted in Baja California Sur: distinct houses by serious architects, each run with the attention of a five-star hotel and the privacy of a home. No lobby, no corridor, no neighbors. You take the whole house; the staff take care of the rest.

The houses have drawn notice from Dwell, designboom, and Hospitality Design.

Raquel Font of Studio Font drew the villa not as one building but as pieces set loose in the landscape: three bungalow suites and an open living pavilion scattered among the cardón, so no room ever turns its back on the desert.

Everything is pigmented concrete: structure and finish in a single material, the color in the walls rather than on them, shifting with the light through the day. Interiors are the work of Niños Héroes: furniture by Oscar Hagerman and Fabien Cappelo, vintage Don Shoemaker pieces, shelves of books on Mexican art and folk traditions.

The house sits near Agua Blanca, twenty-five minutes north of Todos Santos, in cardón forest that has looked this way for millennia. It mostly powers itself: solar panels for electricity, the sun again for hot water, and water reused rather than spent. The endemic plants lifted during construction were replanted where they stood.

The house is cleaned every morning. A caretaker is on hand around the clock, and a concierge arranges pangas, horses, chefs, and tables in town. Turn-down service and extra visits can be arranged.
