The Details

What makes it Kobu

Guests are encouraged to inhabit the community, partaking in unique experiences that are aligned with the culture, values, and heritage of Mexico. Paradero philosophy entails having the full support of our community and providing meaningful employment and growth opportunities. It’s for this reason that they actively sought out our community’s input, permission, and enthusiasm in our project. The majority of produce and food products are sourced locally.

From the beginning, they’ve adopted an intuitive approach to sustainability. In addition, Paradero deliberately chose a plot of land that was previously farmed (though had not been cultivated for many years) so as to do no further harm to the environment, leaving more of our beloved Baja untouched. Next, they partnered with a multi-talented team of architects, interior & landscape designers to incorporate sustainability into every physical aspect of the project.
