A stunning—and I mean stunning, all-suite property with a modern minimalist design, Paradero should be on the top of everyone’s list of where to stay in Todos Santos.

Designed to blend into the desert landscape, Paradero is at the foot of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains about 15 minutes from downtown Todos Santos.

Though not a beachfront hotel, it’s absolutely beautiful and peaceful with impeccable service and a whole host of amazing experiences like cooking classes, morning hikes, and ocean safaris that are all included in your stay. 

Their on-site eatery is amazing too and serves Mexican, Japanese, and French-inspired food set in a beautiful open-kitchen style restaurant. We ate the most fresh fish of our entire trip here and the whole dining experience was next level.  

For those that appreciate luxury stays and architectural beauty, this is hands down one of the best places to stay in all of Todos Santos.

An intimate boutique resort made up of only seven private villas, El Perdido is a true luxury experience located in El Pescadero, a small village about 15 minutes south of downtown Todos Santos.

Every private villa has its own deck, hammock, and outdoor soaking tub and shower, and there’s a shared pool with plush outdoor beds to lounge on and a fresh, seasonal seafood menu at El Coyote.

La Bohemia Baja Hotel Pequeño 

They call themselves “a hotel for travelers by travelers” and at La Bohemia Baja Hotel Pequeño you’ll get laidback, boho vibes just blocks away from downtown Todos Santos.

I stayed here during my last trip to Todos Santos and really loved the walkable location to downtown as well as the friendly staff and overall bohemian vibes. Plus, they include a really delicious free breakfast each morning with your stay.

The only downside of our stay here was the noise as it’s right in the bustle of downtown, but it’s hard to say if this is a regular occurrence or if we just hit a busy weekend.

They have nine total rooms here that are simple with fun and vibrant design touches and some great amenities like an outdoor pool, access for guests to their hotel beach club, El Faro, and a covered patio that offers everything from yoga classes to mezcal tastings.

Hotel San Cristobal 

“All good things are found at the end of a dirt road” and that couldn’t be more true when it comes to Hotel San Cristobal.

This hotel gets a lot of hype for being one of the best hotels in Todos Santos.

The design at Hotel San Cristobal is sophisticated with authentic Mexican details, and the location right on the Pacific with views of the surrounding mountains make for a stunning backdrop.

There aren’t a ton of hotel offerings in this part of Baja that sit just feet from the ocean, but this is one of them, so if that’s an important factor for your stay, you’ll definitely want to consider booking here.

In addition to its seaside location, the hotel has two excellent on-site restaurants and a pool-side bar that serves fresh food and cocktails, so you can really hunker down here and relax during your stay.

This spot is in the heart of downtown within walking distance to everything, and the property is gorgeous with tropical gardens, an outdoor pool, and amazing views.

The four luxurious suites all have separate living areas, private terraces, and kitchens, and are decorated in more of a traditional/colonial Mexican style.  

Desierto Azul 

Desierto Azul is a beautiful and intimate boutique hotel that has a focus on sustainability and plant-based living.

Located in the desert surrounded by Baja cacti, it’s just a short walk to both the beach and into town so you’ll get the best of both worlds when staying here.

The design at Desierto Azul is gorgeous and minimal with an emphasis on natural textures and there are only four rooms, so there’s a very private and relaxing vibe overall.

The views here are breathtaking, the location is secluded and peaceful, and they offer both rooms and suites that are beautifully designed and have unreal views of the Baja coastline.

It’s worth noting that because of its location, there are a lot of steps to climb here so it might not be the best option for all travelers.

FAQ: Picking Accommodation in Todos Santos

What are the different neighborhoods that make up Todos Santos?

The downtown area of Todos Santos is set away from the beach and is pretty tiny—you can walk the entire town in a few hours, easy.

This is a great area to base yourself in if you want a lot of places to be walkable, but you’ll still have to hop in the car to get to the beach.

There are several neighboring areas that are technically separate towns but are considered part of Todos Santos and are all within a 20 minutes drive from Todos Santos Centro.

El Pescadero and Cerritos Beach are two of the most popular beach towns to stay in and have pretty well developed roads that connect them to Centro.

El Otro Lado and Las Tunas are more up and coming areas just North of Todos Santos with infrastructure that is a bit more rustic at the moment. However, you can find some really fun cafes and hotels here. Just be prepared for some dusty, bumpy roads along this route.

What are the best areas to stay in Todos Santos?

Todos Santos and everything there is to see and do nearby is pretty spread out in general, so it’s hard to pinpoint one absolute best area to stay in.

However, Todos Santos Centro is ideal if you want to be within walking distance to some of the best shopping and restaurants in town. If you’d rather be by the beach, El Pescadero and Cerritos Beach are two great options that are within 15 minutes drive to Todos Santos Centro.

What different accommodation options are available in Todos Santos?

Todos Santos is very different from nearby Los Cabos when it comes to accommodations.

Whereas in Cabo you’ll find massive sprawling resorts, Todos Santos accommodations are made up of more boutique hotels and chic Airbnb and VRBO rentals.

If you’re looking for resort vibes, Rancho Pescadero which was recently bought by Hyatt is your best bet, however it’s temporarily closed and I’m unsure of when it will reopen to the public.
