Hacienda del Desierto

Hacienda del Desierto is a boutique lodging property located in the coastal town of San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico. Operated by CG Glamping, it offers a rustic yet refined retreat that blends the serenity of the desert with proximity to the Sea of Cortez. The hacienda emphasizes comfort, sustainability, and creative design inspired by local art and nature.
Background and Concept
The property occupies a mansion built in the 1980s that has been reimagined into a guesthouse featuring five Master Suites. Each suite has its own entrance and accommodates two to four guests, for a total capacity of eighteen. The design fuses traditional hacienda architecture—terracotta floors, warm-toned walls, and handcrafted details—with modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and private kitchenettes.
Amenities and Facilities
Guests have access to a range of shared amenities, including a swimming pool, fire pit, barbecue area, and a terrace with ocean views. The property is situated within a short walk of the beach and the town’s malecón, while also providing access to a private beach located about fifteen minutes south of San Felipe. Secure parking and surveillance add to visitor convenience.
Experiences and Events
Hacienda del Desierto positions itself as both a lodging and event venue. It hosts weddings, private celebrations, and curated experiences that highlight Baja California’s coastal desert character. Customizable event packages often include catering, decor, and local entertainment, aiming to provide a relaxed yet memorable atmosphere for intimate gatherings.
Relationship to CG Glamping
Together with its sister property, CG Glamping, Hacienda del Desierto forms part of a small hospitality group focused on experiential stays that encourage guests to “rediscover the way to stay” in San Felipe. Both locations emphasize artistic design, environmental mindfulness, and a community-centered approach to tourism.
