TODOS SANTOS

baja california sur, mexico

A Pueblo Mágico on the Pacific coast of Baja — where the desert meets the ocean, the art meets the agriculture, and the pace of life reminds you what living actually feels like.

Where casa mila lives

LA POZA -
A WORLD APART

La Poza is unlike anywhere else in Todos Santos. A freshwater lagoon fed by underground springs sits at the end of an ancient palm grove that stretches from the historic center all the way to the Pacific shore — dividing the town into two distinct worlds.

To the east: the old town, the art galleries, the cultural center, the colonial architecture. To the west: La Poza, Las Tunas, the rental homes, the newer neighborhood, the road toward La Pastora.

Casa Mila sits on the hillside above this boundary — looking out over the palm grove, the lagoon, and the open ocean beyond. It's one of the few properties in Todos Santos that captures all of it at once.

"Finding a property this lush, this close to water, with this kind of architecture and this view — it doesn't happen often in Todos Santos. Casa Mila is genuinely rare."

THE TOWN

A PLACE THAT HASN’T TRIED TOO HARD

Todos Santos earned its reputation the honest way. Founded in 1723 around a Jesuit mission, the town grew through the sugar cane era and reinvented itself quietly over the decades that followed — attracting artists, surfers, farmers, and travelers drawn to something that's increasingly hard to find: a place that hasn't tried too hard to become anything other than itself.

Today it's an unlikely mix of working ranches and world-class restaurants, surf culture and contemporary art galleries, taco stands and natural wine bars. The historic center lies inland — a walkable grid of colonial architecture, galleries, and plazas.

The kind of place where the farmer's market is next to the surf shop, and the best table in town is at a restaurant that grows its own vegetables nearby.

Our recomendations

Dinner · Reservations required
Jazamango
The definitive fine dining experience in Todos Santos. Chef Javier Plascencia, farm-to-table, wood-fired everything. Reserve well in advance.

The more relaxed daytime sibling. Open-air patio, breakfast margaritas, chilaquiles, and fresh juice. A different location from the restaurant — ask locally.
Dinner · Boutique Hotel
Todos Santos Inn · 1890
Glamorous dining in the newly renovated boutique hotel. Leather booths, dramatic chandeliers, oysters Rockefeller. La Copa next door for cocktails after.

The only natural wine bar in Todos Santos. Courtyard seating, low-intervention Mexican and European wines, snacks like octopus carpaccio and truffle fries.
Coffee & Bakery · To-go
Taller 17
A corner café in the historic center. The pastries — especially the bread — are extraordinary. A few sidewalk tables, mostly to-go. Go early.
Coffee Roaster
Doce Cuarenta
Spacious roastery café with indoor and outdoor seating. One of the most popular spots in town for good reason — the coffee is serious and the space is comfortable.
Dinner · Reservations · La Pastora
Cara Cara
Dinner in an agave field under a hand-woven palo de arco dome — The Nest. Wood-fired grill, farm-fresh everything, cocktails at the Farm Bar first. One of the most atmospheric dining experiences on the peninsula.
Sunset drinks & dinner · La Pastora
The Green Room
The only restaurant actually on the water. Lanterns, fire pits, and the Pacific in front of you. Come for drinks and tuna tostadas as the sun goes down.
Resort dining · Pescadero
Kimpton Mas Olas · Kahal & Botánica
Two restaurants at the standout resort south of town. Kahal is oceanfront with a raw bar and craft cocktails. Botánica is set in the organic garden — live fire, farm produce, world-class execution.
Farm-to-table · Pescadero
Hierbabuena
Down a dirt road in Pescadero, worth every kilometer. Organic gardens, wood-fired pizzas, rotating seasonal menu. Walk-in only, no reservations required.
Beach
Playa La Cachora
The wild Pacific beach right next to La Poza — walk along the shore and you're there. Remote, pristine, and dramatic. Horses sometimes wander the sand.
Nature
Hiking Above the House
The hillside directly above Casa Mila has informal trails with views over the entire valley — the lagoon, the palm grove, and the open Pacific.
Culture
The Art District
Galleries, studios, and artisan shops in the historic center. Walk it on a Saturday morning. The Galería de Todos Santos is a good starting point.
Day Trip
La Paz
An hour north on Highway 19. The Sea of Cortez, whale sharks, and one of the most beautiful bays in Mexico. Worth the drive.
December – April
Whale Migration
Gray and Humpback whales pass directly in front of Casa Mila on their annual Pacific migration. No boat required — just the rooftop.
By Air
Los Cabos Airport
The closest international airport is SJD in San José del Cabo — about 80 km south of Todos Santos. Direct flights from the US, Canada, and Mexico City. Transfer time approximately 75 minutes by car.
By Car
From the Airport
We recommend renting a car for your stay — it gives you the freedom to explore the peninsula. The drive north from the airport along Highway 19 follows the Pacific coast and is one of the most beautiful drives in Baja.
