Guaycura Hotel Todos Santos
Guaycura Hotel Todos Santos sits at the intersection of two things Baja does better than almost anywhere else: deep colonial history and dramatic Pacific coastline. Furthermore, it packages both into a single stay without ever losing its boutique feel.
What Is the Guaycura Hotel?
The hotel occupies a 19th-century red-brick mansion recognized by Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History. The building was constructed during the sugar era of the late 1800s as the family home of the Domínguez family, one of the sugar-growing clans whose fortunes shaped Todos Santos. High wood-beamed ceilings, original thick brickwork, and classic arches designed to catch the mountain breeze from the Sierra de la Laguna define the architecture.
In the generations since, the building served as a girls’ school, a music academy, a post office, and a police station before it was carefully restored and opened as a hotel in 2010. Consequently, with just 14 uniquely styled guest rooms, it preserves an intimate hacienda feel rather than a commercial resort atmosphere.
The hotel sits at the corner of Legaspi and Topete, steps from the main plaza, the historic mission, local artisan galleries, and the best cafes in the Pueblo Mágico.
What Is El Faro Beach Club?
Located a short drive down the coast from the historic center, El Faro shifts the experience from 19th-century history to barefoot Pacific luxury. A zero-carbon footprint infinity pool looks directly out over the waves, surrounded by plush daybeds, shade umbrellas, and private cabanas.
The open-air venue centers on a fresh cevichería menu featuring locally caught fish, raw bar options, and signature craft cocktails built for long, relaxed afternoons. Additionally, El Faro is home to Guaycura’s spa treatments, with open-air massage cabanas where the sound of the surf provides a natural backdrop.
What Is El Mirador?
El Mirador sits on a hilltop cliff above Punta Lobos and the surrounding coastline, designed specifically for the golden hour. The open-air, panoramic views of the Pacific make it one of the most celebrated sunset locations in the region.
The kitchen serves a refined Mexiterranean menu, combining Mediterranean techniques with regional Baja produce, wild herbs, and fresh seafood sourced directly from local fishermen. Furthermore, warm lighting, stone and thatch design elements, and live acoustic music set an unhurried, romantic tone as the sun drops below the horizon.
What Are the Room Rates at Guaycura?
Classic and Deluxe rooms typically range from $210 to $280 USD per night, featuring high ceilings, brick accents, and king beds. Superior Suites range from $320 to $350 plus USD per night with larger layouts up to 560 square feet and elevated views.
Rates vary seasonally, with lower pricing during mid-summer to early fall and peak pricing during winter and holiday periods. However, always confirm current rates directly with the property before booking.
