Sustainability is more than a buzz word at Paradero Todos Santos<\/a>, a luxury “soft adventure” destination located in Mexico’s Baja region. The 35-suite property, which opened in February 2021 and is the brainchild of Mexican entrepreneurs Pablo Carmona and josh Kremer, goes above and beyond to use local products and employ workers from the neighboring area, helping to earn the property a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation \u2014 of which there are only two in Baja.<\/p>\n

“Paradero is an experience inclusive destination rooted in meaningful connections with nature, sustainability, community development and conservation,\u201d Carmona and Kremer tell GRAZIA Gazette: Hamptons<\/em>. \u201cExperiences with biodynamic farmers, meditation classes alongside the sunflower fields, and morning and sunset hikes in the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains are all included in the stay. It’s in part to encourage guests to get out and explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

A haven for surfers and outdoor enthusiasts, Paradero Todos Santos describes itself as \u201c80 percent landscape, 20 percent construction project.\u201d Spread out over 160 acres of family-owned farms within the La Mesa farming community, Paradero \u2014 which translates loosely to \u201ca stop on the road\u201d \u2014 was built on the fundamental belief that \u201cextraordinary experiences go hand-in- hand with sustainability, community development, and conservation.\u201d With over 355 days of sunshine and direct flights from major cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, Denver, and New York City, it\u2019s always a good time to visit.<\/p>\n

By immersing guests in nature, Paradero pays homage and respect to the land it inhabits, just a short hour ride away from San Jose del Cabo airport. Employing locals ensures that generations of knowledge about this lush oasis tucked away in desert land at the foot of the Sierra de la Laguna mountain range remain intact.<\/p>\n

“Todos Santos is a unique place in Baja where five distinct eco-systems collide: desert, mountains, beaches, a palm tree oasis, and farmland,” Carmona and Kremer explain. “There’s no other place where you can find such a diverse landscape in such a small pocket.”<\/p>\n

The grounds at Paradero Todos Santos feature more than 100,000-square feet of botanical gardens, comprised of 80 endemic species including red sand verbena, Mojave yucca, and Shaw’s agave. Curated by Mexico City-based landscape architecture firm Polen \u2014 whose past clients include Google and Twitter \u2014 the spread includes more than 20,000 plants, many of which were on the land before the resort was built.<\/p>\n

Constructed using locally sourced beige concrete to blend seamlessly into the landscape, the property also features accents of Mexican tornillo wood, metal, and textiles. It was designed with a trapezoid-shaped to ensure breathtaking views from every suite.<\/p>\n

From the artisan-made furniture and the rooftop yoga deck to the open-fire kitchen with a traditional Oaxcan clay oven and multi-purpose “Living Room,” there is a sense of authenticity and thoughtfulness in every corner of the resort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to create a hotel that would exist in harmony with the community and natural beauty to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living,\u201d Carmona and Kremer say. \u201cParadero aims to promote Mexico\u2019s design talent, work with ‘honest’ materials and utilize the highest-quality craftsmanship from furniture to textiles. We spent more than a year designing with our architecture, interior design, and landscaping teams, where the same importance was given to each practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just as much thought went into creating the rest of the offerings at Paradero Todos Santos as well. Chef Eduardo Rios, a Pujol alum, heads up the kitchen, which has become known as a destination in itself for both travelers and locals alike. The culinary team only uses five purveyors and dishes are created using a maximum of five ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are bringing farm-to-table to another level,\u201d boast Carmona and Kremer. \u201cJust steps from our restaurants are our on-site garden and we’re surrounded by more than a dozen family farms. We source as much as possible from our immediate farms, seas and ranches.\u201d<\/p>\n
