On the Pacific · Punta Lobos

Hotel San Cristóbal

One MICHELIN Key

On the sand at Punta Lobos, where the fishermen bring in their pangas. A pool and lounge "wrapped around palm trees with colorful tile motifs," Tivoli radios in the rooms and s'mores at the beachfront bonfire (MICHELIN Guide). Rooms are all different, with Coco-Mat mattresses; Benno is downstairs, and the cove is one of the calmer stretches of this coast (Cabo Visitor).

StyleOceanfront · Pool · Bonfires

Wake up to the pangas coming in. If oceanfront is what you want, the coast south of town is where to look.

Villa Santa Cruz

One MICHELIN Key

A boutique beach compound on Playa La Pastora, north of town: villas, bungalows and "luxury oceanside tent suites," with pickleball, bocce, an on-site apiary and horseback excursions to its ranch (MICHELIN Guide). Two pools, rooftop plunge pools and a beach crow's-nest (Cabo Visitor) — and The Green Room for dinner on the sand.

The North Pacific life: dirt road, few neighbours, the ocean. Few homes come up here; when they do, they go fast.

Sleep here, then buy here

Spend a week in the neighbourhood before you buy in it. Winter for the full town and the whales; summer for the quiet.

Adults only, and no TVs in the rooms (Cabo Visitor). The surf beach of Cerritos is minutes away.
