ON THE SEA OF CORTEZ

Danzante near Loreto

Where is DANZANTE? Located a short taxi ride, 25 miles south of Loreto. This serene bay on the Marine Sanctuary is home to a tiny fishing village facing Danzante Island in the Sea of Cortez. As you enter the 10-acre seaside resort, you'll see nine charming hilltop suites perched dramatically atop a rocky, volcanic knoll facing the sea. Nestled among cardon and pithaya cacti, colorful bougainvilla and towering mesquite trees, the property is reminiscent of an old Mexican-style ranch by the sea.

Commanding a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of mountains and sea, colorful hammocks sway gently on the terraces as eagles, ospreys, and marine birds circle and soar within touching distance.

French doors lead to a quarried slate terrace, a burst of sea breezes and breathtaking views.
