It\u2019s the name of a Mexican government program designed to recognize towns with important cultural and historical value and to invest in their future by improving infrastructure, beautifying landscapes, preserving traditions, developing attractions, and creating jobs. The main goal of it all: to increase tourism.<\/p>\n<p>You may have heard of some of the places that have earned this prized designation. Valle de Bravo, Bacalar, Mazunte, Zihuatanejo, and yes, Tulum. Also: Todos Santos, a small town on the southwestern coast of Baja California, about an hour\u2019s drive north of Cabo. We\u2019d heard rumblings about this charming fishing village not long after it received its Pueblo M\u00e1gico status in 2006. But it really wasn\u2019t until 2017 and the opening of the <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/todos-santos-hotels\/hotel-san-cristobal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel San Cristobal<\/a> that it truly seized our attention.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by Bunkhouse Hotels \u2014 the Texas hospitality legends behind iconic properties like <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/austin-hotels\/hotel-saint-cecilia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel Saint Cecilia<\/a> and <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/marfa-hotels\/el-cosmico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">El Cosmico<\/a> (the latter is no longer part of the group) \u2014 Hotel San Cristobal immediately shot holes through any possibility of Todos Santos staying a secret. Caf\u00e9s and restaurants sprang up faster than ever, and it was no longer just artists and surfers spreading the word. Tailored for Instagram, Todos Santos invaded social networks. \u201cThe past 5 years have shown the most significant changes. We&#8217;ve seen growth of almost 1,000 new hotel rooms on top of more Airbnbs,\u201d testifies Thelma Esquitin, General Manager of the Hotel San Cristobal.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20250201-Todos\/HotelSanCristobal.jpg\" alt=\"Villa Santa Cruz\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Hotel San Cristobal<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is exactly where things could have gone wrong. Fortunately, despite the tourism boom of recent years, the town has managed to retain its authenticity by opting for a sustainable approach to tourism. Rather than large, soulless resorts, Todos Santos has enriched itself with eco-responsible hotels and farm-to-table restaurants, catering to a more sensitive type of traveler. <\/p>\n<p>Hotel San Cristobal \u2014 named appropriately after Saint Christopher, patron saint of travelers, surfers, and sailors \u2014 goes to great lengths to celebrate the identity of Todos Santos. The furniture showcases regional craftsmanship, the mattresses are handmade from coconut, cactus and seaweed fibers, and the locals teach surfing, yoga, and traditional medicine. <\/p>\n<p>But it wasn&#8217;t the first of such hotels on the scene. Nearly a decade earlier, the couple behind <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/todos-santos-hotels\/villa-santa-cruz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Villa Santa Cruz<\/a> fell in love with the town and set out to build the delightfully hand-crafted hotel compound you see today. They started with just one beachfront villa, then gradually expanded over the years to more than twenty unique accommodations. The growth of Villa Santa Cruz mirrored that of its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20211204\/Paradero-1.jpg\" alt=\"Paradero Todos Santos\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20250201-Todos\/Surround-5.jpg\" alt=\"Paradero Todos Santos\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Paradero Todos Santos<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A former missionary colony, Todos Santos enjoyed prosperity in the 19th century thanks to the cultivation of sugar cane. But the collapse of the sugar industry in the mid-20th century left the town deserted, with the exception of a handful of fishermen and farmers. Then, in the &#8217;80s, the main highway was paved and a dormant freshwater spring miraculously came back to life. <\/p>\n<p>In this idyllic setting \u2014 the meeting point of the Pacific Ocean, the desert, and the arid terrain of the Sierra de la Laguna mountain range \u2014 artists and surfers jumped at their chance for tranquility and affordability. Pueblo M\u00e1gico followed. Workshops and galleries flourished among the cobbled streets and colorful houses. Painters, photographers, and nomadic travelers mingled with fishermen on the golden beaches. Peter Buck of R.E.M. launched a music festival to aid to local children. The hotel scene expanded to meet the new demand.<\/p>\n<p>As of publication we have seven <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/todos-santos-hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Todos Santos hotels<\/a> in our selection, all listed below, with more surely to come.

The hotel is an architectural masterpiece, a luxurious Brutalist wonder of monumental proportions. It&#8217;s the type of modern marvel you might expect find in the wilds of Scandinavia, or Patagonia, or lately, <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/magazine.tablethotels.com\/en\/2023\/11\/muy-autentico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oaxaca<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20250201-Todos\/Surround-7.jpg\" alt=\"Kimpton El Pescadero\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Still, Todos Santos has lost none of its bohemian character. With all the new boutiques and caf\u00e9s, fishermen are no longer the only ones to stroll here, but the streets never give the impression of being too crowded or superficial. \u201cThe town has definitely managed to preserve its vibe. Artists and surfers remain the core community who understand and inhabit Todos Santos,\u201d confirms Esquitin. <\/p>\n<p>At Hotel San Cristobal, as at the other establishments, travelers are invited to meet the local community and take part in their environmental protection initiatives: caring for an abandoned dog for the duration of their stay, helping to free baby sea turtles or discovering permaculture. \u201cWe have many repeat guests who have continued to choose us for close to eight years. They are our best promoters,\u201d Esquitin enthuses. Unlike overnight tourism, Todos Santos has found that the secret to sustaining its magic lies in creating bonds with its visitors. They return year after year, falling more deeply under its spell.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/todos-santos-hotels\/hotel-san-cristobal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hotel San Crist\u00f3bal<\/a><\/h2>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Todos Santos, Mexico<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/todos-santos-hotels\/hotel-san-cristobal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20240504\/SanCristobal.jpg\" alt=\"Hotel San Crist\u00f3bal\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve spent time in a Bunkhouse hotel you know they get the balance right: a bit of boutique polish and a whole lot of charming authenticity.
