Nearby

Twenty-five minutes from town, ninety from the airport.

The house sits near Agua Blanca on the coast road north of Todos Santos. Here is how to reach it, and where we go once you have settled in.

01Getting here

Most guests fly into Los Cabos (SJD). The drive takes about an hour and a half: the airport corridor to Cabo San Lucas, then Highway 19 north along the Pacific, through El Pescadero, to Todos Santos.

La Paz (LAP) is the closer airport, about an hour and a quarter: Highway 19 south, straight into town.

From town it is twenty-five minutes north on the coast road. A precise pin and turn-by-turn notes come with your booking confirmation, and the concierge can arrange airport transfers and a stocked kitchen for your arrival.

02Where to eat

The tables we actually book.

Todos Santos eats well for a town of its size, and Villa Santa Cruz up the coast added two more. The concierge holds tables when you arrive.

  • Jazamango

    Wood fire · Todos Santos · 25 min

    Javier Plascencia cooks from a garden and a wood oven on the edge of town. Book ahead for dinner.

  • Pacifica Fish Market

    Tacos · Todos Santos · 25 min

    Part fish counter, part taco stand: the catch battered, grilled, or blackened, and a shrimp burrito worth the line.

  • Taller 17

    Coffee & pastry · Todos Santos · 25 min

    Coffee and morning pastries in the town center, with a small gallery of local art on the walls.

  • La Garita

    Breakfast · La Paz highway

    A roadside palapa toward La Paz, known across the peninsula for its breakfast. Ask for the huevos titanic.

  • CaraCara

    Villa Santa Cruz · 10 min

    Dinner at the resort up the coast: a wood-fired grill and a bar under the palms before your table opens.

  • Green Room

    Villa Santa Cruz · 10 min

    Barefoot lunch on the sand just past La Pastora: cold margaritas and the day's catch.

  • Embers

    Todos Santos

    A newer name on the house's own list. Ask the concierge to book it.

03The water & the land

The beaches, the town, the sierra.

Some of this is walkable, some is a short drive, and the best of it is seasonal. Ask the concierge to time it.

  • Todos Santos

    Pueblo Mágico · 25 min

    A mission town from 1733 that grew sugar cane, then filled with painters. An afternoon covers the plaza, the brick ruins of the old mills, and a dozen galleries.

  • Punta Lobos

    Beach · 35 min

    The fishermen's beach. Pangas launch at dawn and come back through the surf around midday with the catch.

  • La Pastora

    Surf · 10 min

    A right-hand point break up the coast road. Experienced surfers, empty lineups.

  • Villa Santa Cruz

    Resort · 10 min

    A boutique resort just up the coast, with a spa, a pool, and pickleball courts. Worth the drive even if you are staying with us.

  • The farm stands

    El Pescadero · 25 min

    The valley grows strawberries, basil, and tomatoes on an aquifer under the desert. Agricole, beside the highway at the edge of town, sells the morning's picking; in season, stop for the strawberries and cream.

  • Whales

    Season · Dec–Apr

    Grays and humpbacks pass close on their way to the calving lagoons; you can watch from shore.

  • Turtle releases

    Season · Nov–Mar

    Tortugueros Las Playitas releases hatchlings at sunset a few beaches north.

  • Sierra de la Laguna

    Hiking · Guided

    The granite range behind the coast, a biosphere reserve since 1994. Guides lead day walks from the ranches above town into canyons that hold water all year; the committed carry on overnight to the meadow at the summit.

  • The boat

    Sea of Cortez · Bahía de los Muertos

    Charters depart Bahía de los Muertos on the gulf side and work the coves around it. Two formats: up to five hours on the water with lunch on the beach, or a full fishing expedition for marlin, tuna, and dorado. Mix them as you like; fish three hours in the morning, and the chef cooks the catch at the house that night. Usually $200 per person. The blue-water months run June through November; winter fishing stays closer in, for sierra and snapper.

  • La Paz & Balandra

    Day trip · 1 h 15

    The shallow turquoise coves of Balandra, and whale sharks in the bay from October to April.

The concierge knows the rest.
