Todos Santos, Mexico - A Perfect Last Minute Getaway

Looking for a perfect last minute getaway, Shon and I decided to hop on a plane to Cabo San Lucas and drive up to Playa Pescadero near Todos Santos for a three-night glamping getaway at the dreamy Baja Nomads Hotel. What we found was more than just a relaxing escape—it was a soulful recharge packed with Baja flavor, desert adventures, and unforgettable sunsets.

Baja Nomads Hotel: Glamping Done Right

This chic little eco-hotel was everything we needed and more. Spotless accommodations, outstanding service (huge shoutout to Ruben, Vincent, and the whole crew), and possibly the best Baja fish tacos we've ever had. The price? Just right.

Baja Nomads features a gorgeous open-air yoga shala, a traditional sweat lodge (where, with a day's notice, a shaman can guide you through ancient healing practices), floating beds by the pool (Shon's personal favorite), a stargazing platform, fire pit, and a soothing, curated playlist that sets the tone for total relaxation.

With a max occupancy of just 36, this spot is perfect for laid-back family reunions, wellness retreats, or intimate gatherings. You can even book the whole place for your group with enough advance notice!
