BEYOND THE BEACH ~ BAJA LUXPLORATION

From marine life to mountain trails, this curated collection of inherently spontaneous experiences will reveal the

magic of Baja’s diverse land, wildlife and people.

Our partners are locals - naturalists, adventurers, farmers and artisans - and their insider knowledge will delight

with personal narratives and expertise. These itineraries are to inspire exploration beyond our gates and can be

customized to your tastes, all with our signature style of luxurious comfort.

Start the day with a sunrise standup

paddle board at Cabo’s iconic Land’s End.

This final point of the Baja Peninsula is

the place of postcards where dramatic

rock formations jut out of the sapphire

sea. The natural Arch “El Arco” frames the

meeting of the turbulent Pacific Ocean

and the tranquil Sea of Cortez. Schools of

fish scamper and sea lions splash as you

glide along the cliffs to an intimate strip

of sand that straddles the two bodies of

water. Lay out a brunch picnic or return

to Don Manuel’s pop-up breakfast buffet

SECRETS OFBAJA’S SIERRA

The backroads of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains are Baja’s best kept secret so let’s

keep this between us. Outside the tiny town of Santiago lies an enchanted wonderland,

lush like a jungle, but with the flora and fauna of a desert. It’s a fairytale landscape

unlike anywhere you’ve seen. Our 4x4 jeeps will chauffeur us to discreet trailheads

where we’ll hike around granite boulders and oversized cacti to discover oases of

hidden waterfalls, swimming holes and hot springs. After a morning of excursions, we’ll

recharge at the rustic Rancho El Refugio ecological reserve where local legend, Doña

Luz, will demonstrate her hand-slapping, tortilla-making technique before indulging us

with endless quesadillas. This is traditional Baja hospitality at its best.

BUCKET LIST: SWIM WITH WHALE SHARKS

The boat suddenly idles and you stare

at an approaching shadow in the water

that grows larger and larger. Seconds

later, you’re face-to-face with the gentle

giant itself, the whale shark. Growing up

to 40-feet in length and with mouths up

to five-feet wide The world’s largest fish

are filter-feeders after all, completely

harmless to humans. You’ll return to

the resort early enough to recount the

momentous experience over a poolside

margarita.

Best Season : October - May

Imagine yourself on a panga motorboat racing into the horizon. The

quaint town of La Paz fades in the distance and you enter the calm,

protected waters of the bay. This is where you’ll find them...

EXPLOREESPIRITU SANTOISLAND

The Espiritu Santo Island and the

surrounding archipelago is so distinct

and diverse that it is often referred to as

“The Galapagos of North America.” You

will immediately see why as you explore

this UNESCO-protected biosphere

reserve by private yacht or panga.

Savor fresh ceviche and guacamole

while manta rays skim across the

water’s surface and frigatebirds circle

above. And don’t miss the opportunity

to snorkel with playful sea lions. On

the return, sip champagne as the sun

sets at Balandra Bay with sailboats and

paddle boarders silhouetted against the

tangerine skies.

WHALE SHARKS +ESPIRITU SANTO ISLAND.Enjoy two experiences in one.

BAJA SUR’SSURFING PLAYGROUND

With warm waters, consistent waves, and a variety of breaks and swells, Baja Sur’s

dozens of beaches, bays, coves, and cliffs are a surfer’s playground paradise. Whether

learning to “pop up” in a beginner lesson at the sandy-bottomed beach break of Los

Cerritos or practicing cutbacks on the speedy, right, reef break of Zippers, our local

pros will tailor a trip to your level of expertise.

THE “OCEAN MIRACLE”OF CABO PULMOMARINE PARK

Ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau once

famously proclaimed Baja’s Sea of Cortez

to be “the world’s aquarium.” There’s no

better place to validate that description

than the UNESCO protected Cabo

Pulmo Marine Park. Heralded as a marine

conservation success story, its living

coral reefs are teeming with species of all

shapes, sizes and colors. From swarming

schools of yellow pork fish to a sun

bathing colony of sea lions, the diversity

of marine life will dazzle from above and

below its turquoise waters. Our bilingual

naturalists will lead you on snorkel and

stand up paddle board excursions in the

reserve’s bays and coves.

Best Season: March to November
