Ocean and Mountain Views from Private-Suite Balconies
On the floor of sea-green swimming pools, thousands of multicolored tiles—when seen from overhead—come together to form the likeness of a shimmering sea turtle. The reptile is a protected natural treasure in the lush nearby marine ecosystem near Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, and it at once evokes the refreshingly slow, plodding pace of the resort and the gorgeous surrounding Sea of Cortez. Vacationers lie back on camel-colored lounge chairs bordered by verdant palm trees at the swimming center of the Mission-style escape, which distinguishes itself with a whimsical and sophisticated vibe.
Sweeping, central arches ascend from the black-and-white marble floor of the hotel lobby, and a wall mural towers over guests as they check in at the reception desk. In the Deluxe suites, cream-tiled floors greet vacationers' sun-kissed feet. A mosaic-tile table lamp flanks two queen-size beds dressed in striped white linens, where guests can relax for a complimentary 50-minute Swedish massage. Sojourners can feel free to whip up snacks or travel-size science-fair volcanoes in the fully equipped kitchenette, decked in terra-cotta tile backsplash and sophisticated, paneled cabinetry. A private terrace with padded lounge chair looks out to the crashing surf of the Sea of Cortez.
In addition to 24-hour room service, Villa del Palmar rounds out its culinary portfolio with three on-site restaurants with fare ranging from casual buffet breakfasts to specialty sit-down dinners. For poolside grazing, Mia Casa fashions hand-tossed, brick-oven pizzas, and Mediterranean and American flavors tango at The Market Restaurant. Four fire pits anchored on the private beach welcome diners to warm up next to platters of dessert and drinks under the night sky.
Loreto: A Quiet, Historical City with Colorful Water Adventures
Founded in 1697 as the first Spanish settlement on the Baja peninsula, Loreto exudes the aura of Old Mexico amid its quiet beaches and dazzling underwater habitats. Travelers can embark on a 3-mile paddle trip or hire a motor skiff to escort them to Isla Coronada, a small aquamarine cove surrounded by colorful coral reefs where blue-footed boobies nest on the nearby cliffs and small sea-lion colonies frolic in the turquoise water. After taking in the wildlife, passengers arrive at a pristine, white-sanded beach dappled with palapas to enjoy shaded picnics. The hotel can also arrange guided dives around the island to get up-close views of dolphins and manta rays or dive for saltwater taffy.
Misión Nuestra Señora de Loreto—whose floor plan takes the shape of a Greek cross—enchants audiences with its weathered stone façade, which was originally constructed in the late 17th century. Despite having barely survived a hurricane and an earthquake in the mid-1800s, this Spanish Mission-style church perched on a cobblestone street still harbors oil paintings, the ornamental board of the main altar, and the original sculpture image of Nuestra Señora de Loreto. Next door to the parish, Museo de las Misiones Jesuitas (Jesuit Missions Museum) houses antique religious collections, handcrafted art, and a large 19th-century bell.
