Then collapse onto comfortable couches and catch the latest episode of your favorite Netflix shows on the 49” Roku TV. The next day, plan a hike into the stupendous canyons of the Sierra Gigante, take a boat ride to the white sand beaches of Coronado Island, or cook a sumptuous dinner in your well-appointed kitchen for your new friends. Relax and repeat.

The Villages of Loreto Bay is a private planned community located about 10 minutes drive from the town of Loreto and sandwiched between the majestic Sierra la Giganta mountain range and the calm, warm waters of the Sea of Cortez. Our community has winding stone paths, beautifully landscaped with phenomenal architecture, and only one street --the Paseo, with restaurants and a few small shops. The development has 24 hour security guards and is peaceful and calm. The town of Loreto is one of the few that has been designated by Mexico as a "Pueblo Magico" -- it is a prosperous, well-organized town with an authentic, old-time Mexican vibe and no high-rise condominiums or swarms of vendors. The people of the town are sweet and hospitable and wonderful cultural explorations are possible, including ancient missions and colorful fiestas on the town plaza. The Sea of Cortez offers numerous natural and wildlife wonders -- Jacques Cousteau called it "The Aquarium of the World." You can swim with whale sharks, dolphins, and sea lions, and in the winter there are humpbacks and blue whales and visiting orcas. Sport fishing and diving are legendary. The mountains offer challenging hikes and bouldering in slot canyons with hidden pools of clear water. This area offers everything you could imagine for a vacation with both adventure and relaxation.

Loreto Bay is about a ten minute drive from Loreto International Airport. Car rentals are available at the airport, taxis are readily available at the airport, in town, and at the hotel (one minute walk from the house). There are restaurants and a few small stores in our community, including grocery stores with all necessary supplies at reasonable prices.
