Catering up to four guests at a time, the retreat comprises two main structures connected by an outdoor seating area. Grand in scale yet understated in proportions, the primary building houses the social areas. Featuring high ceilings and thick walls, the light-filled spaces exude a sense of openness, while numerous private reading and relaxing nooks encourage self-reflection. A massive tree root over two meters tall, salvaged from the roadside and painstakingly transported, serves as a sculptural focal point in the living room while a reflecting pool separating the living and dining spaces, which guests can step across thanks to carefully placed boulders, creates moments of tactile reflection.
The second structure, affectionately dubbed the “stone house,” is a master suite built from beige-hued rocks collected hours away in Baja’s rugged peninsula. Its centrepiece is a 100-square-metre covered patio, complete with hammocks strung between stone columns, offering unobstructed views of the Pacific’s golden sunsets. Inside, the bathroom is a sanctuary in itself featuring a hand-sculpted bathtub, double shower, sauna, and resting nook overlook the herb farm, grounding guests in the natural rhythms of the land. “In Ayurveda, the daily routine, or Dinacharya, is essential,” Jasmine notes. “The bathhouse is designed as an expression of this lifestyle.”
