Destination

La Paz, Baja California Sur

On the Carretera Escénica, on the point at El Caimancito — the old Government House of Baja California Sur. 20-25 minutes from the airport, 10 from the Malecón, with the Sea of Cortez starting where the pool ends.

A guest has breakfast sitting on a solid wood bed, between two star-shaped pendant lamps and cactus artwork on the wall, framed by the wooden sliding doors
A guest standing in the calm sea, sunlight glinting on the water and the bay's mountains on the far shore

Wellness

A spa, an infinity pool, and the sea at the door

Wellness here isn't a concept: it's a spa with its own name. A relaxing or a prenatal massage, an hour each; a deep-tissue massage when the body asks for something firmer. Booked in advance, with 24 hours for changes at no cost.

Outside, the infinity pool opens onto the Sea of Cortez, and El Caimancito beach starts at the foot of the loungers. Kayaks and snorkelling gear are there, whenever you want them — no booking, no charge.

You don't have to leave the house for the day to be enough. That's what changes between visiting La Paz and staying at El Caimancito.

What guests say

“[…] The views are beautiful, the pool was heated and very pleasant, and everything was very well kept. […]”

Cultural Guide

The Malecón is 10 minutes away, and downtown La Paz just a little further. For the rest of the Sea of Cortez, the house arranges the outing: a full day aboard La Orquídea, the house's Axopar 37', with a stop at Balandra and snorkelling with sea lions at Espíritu Santo Island — captain, crew and lunch included.

For those who'd rather stay close, the Regional Museum of Anthropology is 15 minutes away, and there's whale season in the Sea of Cortez, right in front of the house.

The outing is arranged through the concierge — tell us the day, the house takes care of the rest.

Gastronomy

El Caimancito Restaurant & Beach Club

Restaurant, bar and beach club in one place, with Baja California cooking and an oriental touch. Open from 8 in the morning to 10 at night — from a seafood tostada on the sand to a wedding reception.

The Sunset Bar serves over the Sea of Cortez, and service reaches the pool and the beach: no need to leave the lounger to order something.

Fresh oysters, tostadas, eggs made to order — the house's own kitchen, no need to step outside El Caimancito.

What guests say
