Hotel Endemico is a rustic retreat in Mexico’s wine country situated on a slope overlooking the Valle de Guadalupe.
“Endemico” is a Spanish word meaning “part of the environment” and so each eco-pod is designed to show off the rural landscape.
The local area is village-quaint, left alone by commercialism, with over 60 traditional vineyards nearby.
The concept of Endemico was to create a campsite feel while retaining modern luxury.
These stilt-standing modernist cabins have fine beds, bathrooms, and terraces.
In winter, you can warm yourself by your encased firepit before heading to the lobby to take a dip in the infinity pool or Jacuzzi.
Horseback is a fine way to see this region's flowering shrubs and desert wildlife and is a popular activity for guests here.
In recognition of the hotel’s “leave no trace” philosophy, no cars are allowed on the property; instead, you can be shuttled around by the hotel’s own all-terrain vehicles.
Eat at their Mexican restaurant, which is directed by the Tijuana Culinary Arts School.
