NTIL THE TAKEOVER of Tulum sent
non-trendy travelers packing,
the cobblestoned, romantically
eclectic town of Todos Santos
maintained a relatively low profile.
Historically, this favorite haven of
artists and spiritual seekers that is cele-
brated for its legendary surf break (one,
if not the best, in Baja California Sur), the
town has mostly avoided the worst trap-
pings of rampant commercialization that
has swallowed many of Mexico's authen-
tic beach towns. It couldn't fly under the
radar forever, but so far, despite growing
local development and an appearance
on Netflix's Taco Chronicles, Todo Santos
has not lost its long-lamented-for tone,
thanks in large part to thoughtful hospitality
brands seeking not to eradicate its identity,
but to embody it. Enter Paradero Todos
Santos, the striking contemporary hotel
that captures the local lifestyle, culture,
and landscape of its namesake town.
