Seven years ago, Mexican hospitality experts Pablo Carmona and Joshua Kremer connected over a shared vision to create an experiential travel destination that would inspire guests to connect with nature and local communities. Their idea led them to a 5.5-acre plot in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur, where they opened Paradero Todos Santos in 2021 - a 35-suite property focused on immersive experiences like hiking, surfing, and communing with nature. The property has since expanded to 92 keys across 60 acres, driven by guest demand for more opportunities to disconnect from the typical resort experience and truly engage with the destination.

Why it matters

Paradero Todos Santos represents a new model of "experiential travel" that is gaining popularity among travelers seeking more meaningful connections and transformative experiences during their vacations. By prioritizing nature, community, and holistic wellness over traditional resort amenities, Paradero is tapping into a growing demand for travel that goes beyond passive relaxation.

The details

Carmona and Kremer met in 2018 through a mutual friend while both working in investment banking. They quickly bonded over a shared vision to create a new kind of travel experience that would leverage technology, bioscience, and the natural world. After evaluating over 800 potential sites across Mexico, they settled on the Todos Santos region of Baja California Sur, acquiring a 5.5-acre plot in 2018. They spent the next year designing the property and then built it in 2020, opening Paradero Todos Santos in 2021 with 35 suites. The property has since expanded to 92 keys across 60 acres, driven by guest demand for more opportunities to engage with nature and the local community through activities like hiking, surfing, gardening, and cultural immersion.
