An hour north of Los Cabos near the magical artist town of Todos Santos, and more specifically the tiny village of El Pescadero, lies a boutique luxury resort like no other in the region. Kimpton Mas Olas Todos Santos is an ode to Baja’s natural splendor and the conceptualized vision of a luxury desert escape where guests are welcomed with open arms to an escape where epicurean sophistication merges with nature, enrichment, discovery, and uninterrupted relaxation.

Mexico Spa Guide: The Best Spas in Los Cabos

Almost hidden from civilization off a dusty trail to the ocean, an imposing wooden door beckons you into a blooming garden of tranquility and architectural imagination.  From the moment you step inside, you are surrounded by Baja’s verdant flora and an artistically curated design.

The sprawling on-site farm features a garden conservatory, a bird sanctuary, chickens, goats, bee hives, citrus groves, cut-flower garden, and bio-diverse arroyo garden. In addition, an authentic huerta (vegetable garden) supplies the produce for the resort’s ambitious and immersive culinary program.

Mexican architect Alejandra Templeton of  Indigo Añi utilizes authentic local materials punctuated by striking bursts of color and bold accents that are simultaneously vibrant, refined, whimsical, and magical. The property’s 103 suites and villas are characterized by neutral tones and undisturbed lines that allow the sea and desert to co-mingle in both guest and public spaces.

Custom-made and fair-trade purchased furnishing are sourced from Mexico’s finest artisans in Chihuahua, Michoacan, Guerrero, and beyond. All suites include extended indoor and outdoor daybeds to ensure every moment encourages a connection to the surrounding landscape and the loved ones who accompany your journey.

The extraordinary culinary program is helmed by renowned chef Sandro Falbo who leads guests through a culinary exploration unlike any other. Food and nature are inseparable at Mas Olas. Each meal at the resort’s distinctive restaurants is a gastronomic bouquet prepared and presented with love, thoughtfulness, intention, and dedication to the abundance and joy in nature and connecting with others through shared experience. All ingredients are hand-chosen from the farm.

Absolutely nothing is pre-packaged and Chef Falbo is a master of maximizing authentic flavor and minimizing the use of extraneous salt and sugar.

Adjacent to the garden, Botanica Spa is the cornerstone of the Mas Olas wellness ethos. Fully integrated with nature, the spa’s layout is that of a temple with a glistening cenote at its center.

Illuminated by natural light with a focus on architecture and its setting amidst the wild desert plants and flowers that source its treatment oils, Botanica Spa is drenched in sun-washed light and bounty from the earth. The relaxation pavilion, a series of interconnected pergolas surrounded by lush greens and the hum of nature, is the focal point of this magical garden spa.

We had the opportunity to spend some time with Resort Manager Armando Gonzalez Haces to gain more insight into what makes this one of Baja’s most uniquely holistic wellness center.

Why You'll Love It: At Botánica Spa, the journey to wellness is more than just a luxurious escape—it's a profound re-connection with the earth. This 25,000-square-foot sanctuary at Kimpton Mas Olas redefines wellness with an ethno-botanical philosophy that honors the intelligence of nature.

Step into a space designed like a sacred temple, where every element is curated to nurture the mind, body, and spirit. Here, health is seen as a state of mind, inviting guests to explore and create their own path to well-being, all while being deeply connected to the healing elements of nature.

Key features: Botánica Spa's wellness and fitness amenities include: an apothecary rooted in the wisdom of native plants, 12 outdoor spa treatment nests, two yoga shalas, a hydrotherapy circuit with ice fountain, an experience shower, a steam room, and Himalayan salt sauna. 

Men’s and ladies locker room feature showers and dressing area with toilettries and an outdoor patio with a hot tub and lounge chairs. There is a full salon with manicure/pedicure station, shaded relaxation pavilion and Olympic-sized lap pool, indoor/outdoor gym with TRX, ropes, sleds, reformer Pilates, and free weights. 

Bonus: With a wellness philosophy rooted in the wisdom of Indigenous plants, Mas Olas’ Apothecary offers workshops where guests forage for medicinal and botanical herbs from the gardens and make their own "Baja Blend”—essential oils, tinctures, masks and scrubs—to use for their treatment.

Splurge Treatment: The Damiana Amoroso, a luxurious treatment for two that celebrates love and connection, is the ultimate splurge treatment. This exclusive experience uses Damiana, a desert shrub native to the region and revered for centuries by Indigenous cultures as a natural aphrodisiac.

Begin with an aura cleansing, followed by a revitalizing body polish and a soothing full-body massage. The experience is completed with a gemstone facial and a meditative sound bath using a singing bowl to harmonize your energy. You’ll leave feeling renewed and ready to fall in love all over again!

Insider's Favorite: The Albahaca Santa is Botánica Spa's take on the classic Swedish massage that uses freshly harvested basil leaves, a powerful anti-inflammatory, soaked in gently warmed oil and applied on the body—leaving guests feeling relaxed, balanced, and rejuvenated. 

Most Unique Treatment: For a fully restorative experience, El Magnesio is a magnesium wrap and coconut oil relaxation massage treatment, that harnesses the power of magnesium to elevate both physical and mental well-being.  This indulgent treatment begins with a warm magnesium wrap, allowing your body to absorb the mineral deeply, helping to soothe muscles and promote relaxation.

This is followed by a luxurious, full-body massage using warm coconut oil, designed to further release tension and leave you feeling fully rejuvenated. The combination of these two powerful elements—magnesium and coconut oil—delivers unparalleled benefits, making it the ultimate remedy for stress and physical recovery.

Featured Products: Botánica Spa extensively incorporates a variety of botanicals, each selected for its unique therapeutic properties such as rosemary, basil, lavender, lemon grass, eucalyptus, chamomile and more—all grown onsite in our gardens. Additionally, Botánica Spa's homegrown natural products are complemented by Eminence Organic Skin Care, a renowned organic line that aligns with the spa's commitment to quality and natural care.
