While many folks flock to Cabo in search of sun, sand, and sea, nearby Todos Santos — which has been named one of Mexico’s famed “Pueblos Mágicos” for its colonial architecture, vibrant culture, and rich history — has flown somewhat under the radar: that is, until now. In fact, a slew of new hotel openings has been creating buzz around this small, laid-back coastal town, situated along the iconic Baja California Peninsula. Among our favorite recently opened properties here is the Kimpton Mas Olas. Formerly the Hyatt Rancho Pescadero, this new adults-only oasis offers postcard-worthy ocean and mountain views, as well as luxe rooms and suites and noteworthy amenities — though more on those in a bit.

The Look of Kimpton Mas Olas
The Kimpton Mas Olas stands out for its pueblo-inspired architecture, similar to what you’d find around town. Its 103 rooms, suites, and villas are spread across 27 low-rise buildings. Each of the minimalist-chic accommodations offers a soothing neutral color palette, clean lines, bespoke furnishings made by local artisans, original Mexican artwork, handmade tiles and light fixtures, and woven palo de arco walls. Private terraces, equipped with a plush daybed, are an added bonus. Also, 98% of all rooms offer sea views, and select units have extra amenities like private plunge pools, outdoor showers, personal rooftop decks, and/or fire pits. The tranquil look and zen vibe found in the rooms extends to the common areas, including four swimming pools, lush gardens (nine of them), three bars and restaurants, a coffee shop, and an expansive spa.
