Rancho Pescadero, or ‘Rancho’ as locals call it, has been the
area’s most sought-after hotel since it was first opened with just
12 rooms by Founder/Owner Lisa Harper in 2009. Inspired during a
camping stint on a secluded beach in El Pescadero, just outside the
town of Todos Santos, Harper purchased the land, a former poblano
chili farm since 1938, planted neem and palm trees and built a
small Hacienda. She, in turn, created a relaxed and intuitive
atmosphere that soon became a home away from home for guests for
almost a decade before its temporary closure. Now, after a
four-year respite, the beloved Rancho returns, debuting a
long-awaited transformation that marks the arrival of a new level
of beachfront luxury in Todos Santos – a prolific farming and
fishing community and Pueblo Mágico known for its historic
significance and unbridled local charm.
Edged between the desert and an expansive stretch of coastline,
the 30-acre resort features 1,100 feet of ocean frontage with nine
interconnected gardens, two farms and a citrus orchard that drive
its culinary and wellness programs. There’s also a sea turtle
hatchery, a tropical bird sanctuary, and hiking/biking paths
throughout. Designed by Mexican architect Alejandra Templeton of
Indigo Añil, a firm based in Los Cabos, the resort’s light and airy
aesthetic is characterized by neutral tones and clean lines
juxtaposed by playful textures that seamlessly blend with their
surroundings. From the moment travelers arrive, Harper believes
they ‘cross-over.’ An unmarked concrete entry serves as a portal to
a paradise dripping in lush vegetation with vibrant artwork and
bright pops of color at every turn, creating a childlike sense of
wonder as visitors shed the weight of reality and settle in. From
here, two paths – one made of brick and the other sand – invite
guests to choose how they journey through the property.
Twelve oceanfront villas built into the dunes that dot the
shoreline come with direct beach access, outdoor showers, spacious
patios with plunge pools, and fire pits. The additional 91 rooms
and suites, the vast majority of which feature ocean and coastal
views, include private roof decks and outdoor living spaces with
plush day beds. Bohemian-chic décor takes travelers on a journey
through Mexico with touches like Talavera bathroom tiling handmade
in Tlaquepaque, steel headboards with leather tassel detailing made
in Chihuahua, and copper vases from Michoacán and fabrics sourced
from Tijuana. These pieces are custom-made for the resort with the
artisans hand selected by Templeton, who ensures everything is
purchased fair-trade.
Three dining concepts overseen by Culinary Director Sandro Falbo
draw from the natural bounty of Baja’s unspoiled terrain, which is
perfectly primed for a year-round growing season. Falbo is no
stranger to the land; he works with two farmers under his tutelage
and meets the local fishermen daily to secure that evening’s catch.
Botánica garden restaurant honors ingredients from the property’s
Huerta with an emphasis on locally grown produce and tables set
amidst the gardens enveloping diners in the native flora. At
Centro, a social hub and gathering spot, travelers can enjoy
classic Mexican fare while lounging by two outdoor pools. The
resort also features a cocktail bar where recipes tout the healing
benefits of medicinal herbs, and a rooftop breakfast bar where
guests can count the whales migrating in the distance as they sip
their morning coffee. Wrapped around an infinity pool that hugs the
curves of the coastline, Kahal seafood restaurant is the perfect
end to a day of sun-worshipping with an elegant raw bar and
selection of caviars, fresh seafood sourced from nearby Punta
Lobos, and international flavors fused with avant-garde techniques,
like a Shucked & Shocked duo of local oysters and a house-made
guacamole with seaweed chicharron. By day, guests can slip away in
cenote-style jetted tubs and floating double-loungers. By night,
fire pits cater to conversations over the sounds of the ocean.
The resort’s 25,000-square-foot spa evokes the feeling of being
in a sacred space with a wellness philosophy rooted in the wisdom
of nature. At the onsite apothecary, guests create their own blends
of home-grown herbs, which they forage for in the gardens and
transform into oils, tinctures and scrubs for spa treatments
rendered in cozy outdoor treatment nests. The resort also features
a hydrotherapy circuit with an ice fountain, steam room, expansive
shower and Himalayan salt sauna; Reformer Pilates; a mix of
traditional and aerial yoga; a lap pool edged with palm trees;
Pickleball courts; and an indoor/outdoor gym with TRX and
state-of-the-art equipment. A shaded pavilion offers a tranquil
resting place before or after treatments while a variety of daily
rituals, including sound bath healings, earthing meditations and
native cacao ceremonies, best enjoyed with a backdrop of the sun
dipping over the horizon, occasionally meeting the moon that rises
over the eastward mountain ranges.
Rancho sits on an underground aquifer fed by rainfall that rolls
off the Sierra Laguna Mountains, with arroyos that act as natural
catch basins for rainwater and are used for landscape irrigation.
To preserve the local landscape, large swaths of land were left
open, offering direct, unobstructed beach access, and a complex
system of GPS cataloguing was used to replant native plants, which
were moved into a nursery during construction and transplanted onto
berms built on the backsides of buildings with a 90% success rate.
With an intentional design that’s true to the local landscape,
select materials were chosen due to their native abundance; fencing
made with Palo de Arco wood creates shade in outdoor spaces while
white clover planted in lieu of grass grows locally and requires
far less water intake. Zero single-use plastics, composting and
dark sky lighting are some of the basics employed. A brand-new
desalination and water bottling plant ensures a constant supply of
fresh drinking water. In an effort to reduce carbon emissions and
conserve energy, only electric carts and bicycles are used
throughout the property and a large solar farm is being added to
support Rancho's goal of converting to its own fully sustainable
power grid. Harper and her team’s regenerative efforts go far
beyond the resort; to start, they are building 170 homes for
Rancho’s employees and breaking ground on a technical school that
will be open to all residents of the area.
Rancho Pescadero is located an hour north of the San José del
Cabo International Airport, with direct, nonstop flight service
from nearly a dozen U.S. cities including San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Atlanta and Chicago. The
hotel can coordinate airport transportation, car service to Todos
Santos and nearby surf breaks, and activities that range from
hiking, fishing, golfing and ATV tours to whale watching,
snorkeling, scuba diving and swimming with whale sharks. All
reservations include a wide range of complimentary “discovery”
activities that encourage travelers to experience Baja
authentically at their own pace. Ceviche-making, sunrise
meditations, yoga, sustainability tours, gardening workshops and
aromatherapy at the apothecary are among the experiences offered at
no additional charge to guests.
Rates start at $895 per night. For a limited time, travelers can
take advantage of Rancho Pescadero’s opening offer, which includes
20% off best available rates, 15% off spa services, complimentary
discovery activities, a welcome and sunrise amenity and the use of
bikes, surf boards, yoga and fishing equipment. Booking is
