Baja's newest sustainable hotel, Rancho Pescadero, recently transitioned from a small oceanside spot into an eco-friendly luxury wellness resort. EarthDay
At the tail end of a mile-long, rugged, bumpy road just south of Todos Santos sits an unassuming sand-colored building. Besides the striking contrast of the light sand-colored building against the deep blue sky, the plain façade belies what is on the inside. As the heavy wooden door swings open, however, an enchanting hacienda-style open-air lobby reveals itself, beckoningguests to explore the hidden gem that is Baja California’s latest luxury wellness resort.
In the late 1990s, Harper originally bought a small parcel of beachside property six miles from the relatively unknown Todos Santos. Her dream was to one-day build a little hotel on the beach, which she did in 2009 when the 12-room Rancho Pescadero opened. In the decade that followed Harper watched nearby Todos Santos explode in popularity. In 2018 she decided to add to the area’s growth and transform her “little hotel on the beach” into a wellness-focused luxury resort.
“We grow 30 types of salad greens and herbs, 10 types of chilis and 25 types of tomatoes,” said Culinary Direct Chef Sandro Falbo as he led guests through the gardens he refers to as the salad bowl. Vegetables are picked straight from the garden, washed, then transferred to the kitchen. They do not spend any time in a refrigerator resulting in the freshest, crispiest ingredients possible.
In attempts to be as sustainable as possible, Rancho Pescadero goes well beyond mandating kitchen composting and banning single-use plastic. The entire property aims to be off-the-grid in two years with the help of a sprawling solar power system, a desalination plant and onsite water recycling system. Harpers also plans on launching a water bottling plant on property.
