With an opening date of January 15, Paradero Todos Santos is set to be one of the first luxury hotel openings in Mexico in 2021. Spread across five acres of untouched land, the landscape surrounding the hotel contains a diverse range of natural ecosystems, and to ensure the preservation and protection of the area, Unesco has designated Todos Santos as a biosphere reserve. The hotel will make full use of its unique surroundings with immersive activities such as surfing, farming tutorials, hiking and local tours all available to hotel guests.
The accommodations are set to reflect the diverse surrounding landscape, with the unique 35 suites ranging from 780 to 2,674 sq ft, encapsulating both indoor and outdoor space. The inviting Garden Suites are designed to blend seamlessly with nature, with an outdoor hot tub for ultimate relaxation. Alternatively, the Rooftop Suites will be distinguished by their panoramic private rooftop terraces with built-in star nets to make the most of the impressive views.

Habitas aims to pave the way for a new breed of luxury hospitality by putting sustainability and environmental preservation at the core of its operations. Following a flagship launch in Tulum in 2017, the group is now venturing farther into Mexico with the opening of Habitas Bacalar in early 2021.
Situated on the pristine shores of Laguna Bacalar near the Mexico/Belize border, the new Habitas Bacalar will be built with the group’s core principles of sustainability at the forefront of the entire process. Comprising 35 tented rooms, the accommodations are expertly designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, with only environmentally friendly materials and methods used throughout.
In order to facilitate meaningful change, Habitas is on a mission to ensure that its philosophy lasts longer than just a vacation. Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the group’s way of thinking and form deeper relationships with the Earth via a series of grounding experiences. Although dependent on the guest, these experiences may include stromatolite conservation activities and authentic wellness treatments such as temazcal ceremonies.
