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.

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.
