Pacific
& Sea of
Cortez
Cabo done with discrimination. Three nights up the Pacific coast in Todos Santos for the other side of Baja.
Two sides of Baja, one week.
Baja is two regions in one peninsula. The cosmopolitan south — Cabo’s coastline, its design hotels, its desert-meets-sea pinnacle restaurants. And, ninety minutes up the Pacific coast, the artist colony of Todos Santos — galleries, surf beach, the Hotel California town.
We design seven nights that take in both. Deep-sea fishing and the Sea of Cortez anchor the Cabo leg. Quiet, design hotels, and the Pacific surf coast anchor the second.
The days you do, and the days you don’t, both designed.
Five chapters of a single week.
Arrival and departure are designed too — private transfers from SJD, the right suite for the right night, a final coffee on the terrace before the road home.
The Captain
A full-day private sportfishing charter with a master captain who has worked these waters for decades. His boat, his crew, the lines and grounds only he knows. Marlin in season, dorado, tuna, the offshore fight.
Coolers stocked, tackle dialed, no resort boat or tour-rod queue. The Pacific the way Baja’s serious anglers know it.
The Sea of Cortez
A private excursion on the Sea of Cortez — the body of water Cousteau called the aquarium of the world — with a marine biologist who reads the water the way an archaeologist reads a stone.
Sea lions at the protected colony (the season permits swimming with them), whale sharks in season, blue and grey whales in season. The Cortez is a different ocean — calmer, warmer, more alive.
The Table
Baja has a coastal kitchen with a distinct grammar — sea-to-table from the morning’s catch, Sonoran beef done desert-style, a wine country sensibility from Valle de Guadalupe to the north.
A private mezcal-and-bacanora tasting (Baja’s own coastal spirits, distinct from Oaxaca’s) at a regional master’s home distillery. Two anchored dinners at the Cabo coast’s defining tables — designed dinners under sky, where the chef and the kitchen are part of the night, never a buffet.
The Other Side
Transfer up the Pacific coast to Todos Santos. The artist colony, the Hotel California town, the side of Baja the resort guest never finds.
Three nights at a boutique hotel in the historic district. Gallery walks, lunches with view, sunsets over the Pacific from the cliffs at Punta Lobos. The pace is different here — slow on purpose.
The Quiet
Anchored downtime designed around you. A private terrace breakfast, a spa morning, a long walk on the surf beach, a desert stargazing dinner under what astronomers call one of the darkest skies in continental North America.
Days you choose, not days the resort programmed for you. Both the doing and the nothing, designed.
Two stays, two pacings.
Esperanza, an Auberge Resort
Cliffside design, intimate scale, pinnacle culinary. A private cove. A defining boutique in the Cabo corridor for travelers who want quiet at the highest tier.
One&Only Palmilla
Grande-dame redux. Sea of Cortez frontage, designed gardens, the One&Only suite tier. Classic luxury at full scale, with concierge depth.
Las Ventanas al Paraíso, a Rosewood Resort
The highest design discipline in the region. Rosewood’s signature restraint applied to the Cabo coast. Private plunge pools, casita-style architecture.
Hotel San Cristóbal (Todos Santos)
The boutique anchor of the Todos Santos historic district. A Bunkhouse-group property — design hotel sensibility, artist-colony scale, the right base for the Pacific leg.
The week’s defining meals.
El Farallon
Cliffside dining at Resort at Pedregal — the catch of the day, prepared simply, served with the Pacific below. Cabo’s defining oceanside table.
Flora Farms
Desert farm-to-table at its highest expression. The garden, the orchard, the open-fire kitchen. Lunch and dinner, ideally both at different sittings.
A private mezcal & bacanora tasting
Hosted by a regional master at a small home distillery — Baja’s own coastal spirits tradition, distinct from Oaxaca’s. The history, the production, the pours.
A morning ceviche on the Pacific
The fish-shack the locals choose, the catch from that morning, served at a wooden table over the surf. Designed simplicity.
The artist colony’s defining tables
A husband-and-wife operation in the historic district with one prix-fixe nightly. Two other tables we recommend for the lunches and the long late dinners — chosen and reserved as part of the design.
A week designed in conversation.
Tell us what you want from Baja — the doing, the nothing, the kind of property, the season, the company you’ll keep. We’ll design the rest.
A romantic dinner. A sunset experience. A private celebration on the right night. A milestone moment marked the way you’ll want to remember it.
Each signature trip can be designed for two. We shape the moments to the occasion — and discuss the specifics by phone.
