Casa Mila

El Pueblo Meets the Sea

Short for Milagro, as in miracle, this villa for rent in Todos Santos is part of the miraculous beauty and history of the Baja Peninsula. Just steps from the water's edge, and a mile from the pueblo magico, this home takes a page from the area's colonial past, merging the sunny, laid-back Mexican vibe with a modern homage to its local architecture.

Situated on the Tropic of Cancer, Casa Mila is a place of discovery and nature, where the sun meets the ocean and whales migrate off shore.

This newly designed villa for rent in Todos Santos is modeled on the region's colonial past. A beautiful ocean view getaway, it's located in one of the most picturesque locations in the pueblo magico. Arranged around interior courtyards, pavilions and gardens, with windows that reach out to sea, from here you can spot the gray and humpback whale migrations and brilliant sunsets. The spaces are open and bright with classic Mexican adobe design and modern proportions, with warm neutrals and modern silhouettes in harmony with traditional themes.

There's a fully-equipped kitchen and living space that opens out to large decks and rooftop spaces with incredible ocean views. There's one en-suite master bedroom and a large bathroom with an outdoor shower, and off of the back of the house and courtyard is the second en-suite twin bedroom. The owners have recently added a saltwater pool, with a new casita adjacent to it, which can be rented with the main house. The casita has a master bedroom, small kitchen, shower room, and a twin couch sleeper.

Relax with a glass of wine by the courtyard fireplace and barbecue with the sound of the Pacific in the background. Read an interview with photographer Brad Ogbonna, following his visit to Casa Mila, in our magazine here.

Around

Just outside of the vibrant colonial town of Todos Santos, but tucked away on a quiet stretch of coastline at La Poza, the pueblo magico is a great town to explore on foot with fresh organic markets, cafes and restaurants, art galleries and more. 

Nearby La Cachora was voted one of the top ten beaches in Mexico and is another great spot for whale watching, sunset walks, horseback riding, and swimming. The town is an hour’s drive between La Paz and Cabo San Lucas along the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula at the base of the Sierra de Laguna Mountains. Head to Los Cerritos and San Pedrito which are two surf breaks and popular beach destinations just ten minutes south. Pelicans, egrets and herons call the nearby freshwater lagoons their home and it’s just a short walk from the house along the beach.
