Mailena, Loreto’s first wellness resort and adults-only property, is set to open in late summer 2026. The resort is located in Danzante Bay, a 741-acre master-planned community set between the Sierra de la Giganta mountains and the Sea of Cortez, and will cater to couples, groups, and solo travelers alike. The debut of the beachfront resort will introduce new offerings for the growing community along the eastern coast of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula.
The boutique oceanfront hotel will feature 96 guestrooms, including a blend of suites, casitas and one-bedroom penthouses. Additional resort amenities will include an oceanfront pool, a panoramic restaurant and bar overlooking the ocean, a beach club and access to the TPC Danzante Bay, an 18-hole golf course from Rees Jones boasting some of the most striking holes in golf.
Holistic dining will also be a highlight, with several on-site culinary experiences focused on whole ingredients, local produce and functional nutrition designed to support vitality and individual wellness goals. Standout activities include cultural city tours, hiking, snorkeling and exploring the "Aquarium of the World," ATV desert tours, sport fishing excursions and surfing. Loreto is rich in culture, colonial architecture and history dating back to 1697.
Designed by Mexico-based firm Broissin, the architectural concept is rooted in sustainability, drawing inspiration from the native landscape, vegetation, and climate. The property will be composed of three interconnected yet distinct zones, each anchored by a bespoke architectural focal point. The lobby will be centered around a living olive tree; the Wellness Center will feature a cenote-style water element; and the signature restaurant, set against panoramic ocean views, will include an indoor/outdoor pool.
Mailena’s Wellness and Longevity Center will offer guests science-based, personalized wellness programs and an array of amenities, including a central pool, sensory deprivation tanks, steam rooms, saunas, a snow room for contrast therapy, biohacking technology suites, and more. Specialty treatments, such as shiatsu massages in the pool, provide the soothing, therapeutic embrace of warm water. Guests will find additional spaces dedicated to health and fitness throughout the property, including a state-of-the-art gym and yoga and Pilates studios.
Set on a secluded beach within the Loreto Bay National Marine Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Danzante Bay is also home to the Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto hotel. For guests seeking a longer-term stay, homes are available for sale starting at $1.4 million, and lots are available from $650,000. In addition, residents of Mantarraya, an exclusive community of 43 luxury condos and penthouses, will have access to Mailena’s wellness facilities, dining, and amenities.
Loreto is the only Pueblo Mágico—a special designation granted by the Mexican government to towns recognized for their cultural and natural richness—with an international airport. Direct flights are available from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Tijuana, Phoenix, Dallas and Calgary.
Reservations are expected to open in March 2026.
