At the end of June, we wanted to escape the “June Gloom” in Los Angeles and set out on a journey to Baja, California, in search of sunshine and surf. Thanks to the expertise of my friend Amanda ([email protected]), a travel agent at Fora Travel, we were able to secure the ultimate glamping experience at Villa Santa Cruz, located in the charming town of Todos Santos. This gem of a destination, known as the next Tulum, promised to offer us the perfect blend of beachside relaxation and adventure.
Arrival at Villa Santa Cruz
Villa Santa Cruz, owned by San Francisco ex-pats, proved to be an exceptional experiential property. The moment we arrived, we were swept off our feet by the sheer beauty and charm of the place. Nestled amidst nature, the property offered a delightful mix of farm life and beach living. It was evident that every detail had been meticulously designed to create a unique and memorable stay.

The Green Room: A Beachside Haven
One of the highlights of Villa Santa Cruz was its beachside restaurant, The Green Room. With a picturesque view of the ocean, The Green Room treated our taste buds to an array of mouthwatering tacos, authentic Mexican cuisine, and craft cocktails. What made the dining experience truly exceptional was the fact that all the ingredients came from the property’s own beautiful farm. We savored every bite and sip, all while enjoying the soothing ocean breeze that added an extra touch of magic to our meals.
Surfing Paradise
For my partner Kevin, a surf enthusiast, Villa Santa Cruz couldn’t have been more perfect. The surf break, conveniently located to the left of The Green Room, provided him with the opportunity to indulge in his passion right at our doorstep. The combination of pristine white sand beaches, clean waves, and the warm Baja sun made his surfing experience truly unforgettable.

While it was hard to tear ourselves away from the enchanting Villa Santa Cruz, we couldn’t resist exploring the town of Todos Santos. We were delighted to find that it boasted a variety of charming boutiques, offering unique, locally-made treasures. The town also pleasantly surprised us with its selection of cozy restaurants, where we had the chance to indulge in delicious meals and soak up the relaxed atmosphere.
