Why Todos Santos is Perfect for your next group trip
Now that Covid is hopefully in our rearview for awhile, I’m seeing a big resurgence in the return of the group trip. At Avenida Baja we’ve hosted so many different groups. Some of my favorite groups that we’ve hosted include:
A 40th birthday party
An incubator for a newly formed BIPOC ad agency
A startup’s strategic offsite meeting
An intimate equine-therapy retreat
Why are groups choosing to come to Todos Santos? I think one of the most unique draws is that you can get the excitement of an authentic foreign travel experience without the complexity of other comparable destinations. Todos Santos is a hot destination right now, known for its convenience and stylish charm. Easily accessible from major airports with direct flights from cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, and Phoenix, it’s a breeze to get here. The town offers something for everyone, from mellow, relaxing days to action-packed adventures like hiking, mountain biking, whale watching, and snorkeling.
Groups really love that it’s so easy to gather here and create an unforgettable experience. It’s amazing what a few Baja sunsets will do to for your nervous system.
About Todos Santos Todos Santos
Pulling from recent articles in Vogue & Conde Nast, it seems like people agree that Todos Santos is a particularly unique destination; where "creative types and surfers" meet, blending a bohemian vibe with the charm of a Mexican Pueblo Mágico. Known for its artistic community, thriving culinary scene, and wild beauty, it’s a place where "laid-back luxury" meets cultural richness. This town is the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure, with gorgeous, empty beaches, spectacular ocean life, amazing wellness offerings and so much more. It’s also small and has a thriving expat community so people are generally friendly and helpful.
Why Avenida Baja is perfect for a group trip
The Space:
Avenida Baja offers a unique blend of private and communal spaces, making it the ideal place for your next group trip. It was initially designed for people to each have their own full service apartment with common areas for coworking, socializing and programming. Our space is unique because everyone staying has their own living space where they can wake up and have breakfast on their own schedule, but enjoy connecting with their colleagues, family members, fellow retreat participants etc in common areas that were designed specifically for group gatherings.
Avenida Baja was designed for connection.
A lounge for hanging out
A pool area for staying cool
A jacuzzi for relaxation
A bar area for evening drinks
A communal dining table that can also be used for conferences and working
A huge, open-air deck, perfect for yoga or cold plunges
Ocean View decks for sunset sessions
The Location:
One of the benefits of staying at Avenida Baja instead of an Airbnb rental is the location. Unlike many private homes in the area, we are walking distance from the beach, a local grocery store and some of the best cafes and restaurants in the area. Usually you need a car to navigate Todos Santos and its surrounding neighborhoods. If you have a group that is sharing cars or using a driving service, Avenida Baja allows guests to have a lot of independence outside of programmed ride schedules.
Having a central location could be compromising if we were in downtown Todos Santos, which can be loud at night. At Avenida Baja, we’re lucky to have the best of both worlds so guests can always get a peaceful night of sleep while still feeling like you’re in a vibrant neighborhood.
