3 Best Hotels in Los Cabos Side Trips, Los Cabos and the Baja Peninsula

Since its opening in 2021, Baja Club has been considered the hotel to stay at in La Paz; the first of now several high-end boutique properties to make themselves home in the capital city. Built in a restored colonial-style villa on a central stretch of the malecón, the hotel has some space limitations but makes the most of it with creative and attractive design. Spring for a balcony room; the outdoor area largely expands the size of your room and having a private space to enjoy the remarkable sunsets is a fine luxury.

Husband and wife duo Fabrizio Cavallo and Nilú Feregrino have dedicated their lives to "conscious living," and Desierto Azul ("where the desert meets the ocean") is their brainchild. Not a single detail was overlooked when designing this four-room microhotel ("we're not boutique, but petite," they say): the property is solar-powered, the beds are fitted with organic sheets and linens, the bath products are locally made and reef-safe, and the bar serves natural wine. They also offer plant-based nutrition workshops twice a month at an on-site cooking studio.

This strictly adults-only boutique arts hotel is one block back from the malecón, but the views from the towering (for the area) fifth floor rooftop cannot be beat. While the exterior architecture looks a bit unusual from afar, the interior design of the lobby, restaurants, and rooms are outstanding. Some design choices, however, take the "aesthetic" too far and disrupt the functionality of the space.
