Mission-Style Boutique Hotel on Mexico's Quiet Pacific Coast

About 40 miles north of rowdy Cabo San Lucas, Los Cerritos Beach's sparsely populated, white-sand coast shows a quieter side of the Baja California Sur peninsula. Here, Hacienda Cerritos boutique hotel sits atop a private ocean-side bluff, its marigold façade and mission-style design evoking a traditional hacienda. Everything from the massive, hand-carved wooden doors to the courtyard’s traditional fountains suggests the history and grandeur of old Mexico. Climb up the spiral staircase to the hotel's turret for panoramic views of Los Cerritos Beach, one of the only swimmable and surfable beaches on the Pacific side of the peninsula. The crescent-shaped stretch of sand attracts surfers and celebrities looking to enjoy the spot's steady swells.

White lounger beds surround the resort's outdoor pool, which features a swim-up bar where up to 18 patrons or a flock of thirsty pelicans can grab drinks. At nearby Cerritos Beach Club, surf instructors teach lessons throughout the day. After hanging ten, guests can pop into the Beach Club restaurant for meals. On Sundays, the club hosts live music.

North and south terrace suites feature large, private patios and showers with Mexican tiles. Inside each unit, you’ll find traditional decor such as woodwork, leather furnishings, and floors inlaid with terra-cotta-colored tiles.

Highlights of Todos Santos, Baja California Sur

• Los Cerritos Beach: Thanks to the wide shore, you can zip around the sand on ATVs or horseback without disturbing sunbathers. Jet skiing and kayaking are also popular pastimes.
• Todos Santos: Founded in 1724, this seaside village grew as a sugar-cane production center before farmers began growing poblano chilies, avocados, papayas, and mangos here. In the last decade, Todos Santos has become a creative hub for artists, who sell sculptures, paintings, and other works in the town's boutiques and galleries.
