Fly me to... Baja California
On one side, the Pacific Ocean. On the other, the Sea of Cortez. In between, a desert stretching over 1,300 kilometers, dotted with towering cacti, vibrant lagoons, and star-filled skies. The Weisse Family invites you to discover this earthly paradise at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula. Baja California is the perfect playground for those seeking a deep dive into nature, where adventure and architecture go hand in hand.
Where nature sets the pace
Between the vineyards and the ocean, Baja invites you to slow down, look closer, and taste what truly matters. Baja California isn’t a place you rush through, it’s a landscape you surrender to. Days stretch out between the scent of wild herbs and the hum of bees in the vines. You meet people who pour their lives into olive oil, cheese, wine, or the catch of the day. Here, it’s not about spectacle, it’s about sincerity. The kind of places where you forget to take photos, because you’re too busy feeling.
The best things in Baja can’t be booked, they’re shared, poured, or stumbled upon.
We love Baja California for…
Crystalline waters, dramatic cliffs, and untouched beaches, the Espíritu Santo Islands offer a glimpse into a world where nature is still in charge. Swim with sea lions, kayak through turquoise bays, and let the silence of this protected sanctuary do its work.
In Loreto Bay, watch blue whales breach just offshore, a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. Then head to Cabo Pulmo, gateway to Mexico’s most vibrant marine park. Dive into legendary coral reefs, where biodiversity is the true luxury.
Baja California Sur is Mexico’s best-kept surf secret. Whether you’re a beginner or chasing your next big swell, our expert surf guides tailor each session to your level. The mantra here: come as a traveler, leave as a surfer.
Float silently above valleys and volcanic peaks, with the Colima Volcano rising in the morning mist. A breathtaking moment suspended between sky and earth, where the vastness of Baja unfolds in every direction.
Settle into the shade of a palm grove or at the edge of a vineyard, with a basket filled with local produce, artisan cheese, and a chilled bottle of Baja wine. In this part of the world, lunch isn’t just a meal, it’s a ritual of pleasure, silence, and sun-drenched simplicity.
Weisse’s selection
Behind the carved wooden door, a world of minimalist architecture unfolds, rooftop bar, lagoon-blue pool, and the perfect setting for a first stop. Take time to explore La Paz’s bustling mercado, alive with unfamiliar flavors and local energy, and stroll along the iconic Malecón overlooking the Espíritu Santo Islands, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Carved by the desert winds of Todos Santos, this PARADERO-branded hotel brings together everything you could want. Blending seamlessly into the arid landscape of the Sierra de la Laguna and untouched coves, it offers a wide array of experiences: catamaran cruises, beachside bike rides, cooking and permaculture classes, ocean safaris, surfing, and more.
Facing the tranquil bay of Petite Anse, on the southwest coast of Mahé Island, the Four Seasons is perched on a tree in the middle of the jungle. Surrounded by sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, the Four Seasons has 67 villas, including 5 suites, nestled in the lush vegetation, which provide a haven of peace. Built in natural wood and brick, they feature Creole architecture. The decor, with its high frames, raw wood furniture and acidic tones, exudes Creole elegance and simplicity.
You may not be a First Lady, but if you love presidential suites, fear not, the former residence of British billionaire James Goldsmith is ready to roll out the red carpet. Cuixmala is a world unto itself. With its wildly opulent interiors and dense emerald jungle, you’re just as likely to spot zebras wandering through the palm trees as you are to witness sea turtles nesting on the beach. Either way, prepare to be amazed.
The story
““Baja California doesn’t make a scene, it cultivates one. Behind the dusty tracks and sun-bleached coastlines, a quiet revolution is taking root. Small-scale winemakers, organic farmers, wild fishermen, and intuitive chefs are shaping a new way of living, one that’s slow, generous, and grounded. A glass of natural wine in the middle of nowhere. A picnic beneath the pines. A meal you remember not for how it looked, but how it made you feel. Because in Baja, it’s not about performing, it’s about belonging.””
— Olivier Weisse
