July 10th, 2025 — A new chapter of wellness travel is taking shape on the serene shores of Baja California. Slated to debut in late summer 2026, Mailena will become the first luxury wellness resort in Loreto, introducing a new level of sophistication to Mexico’s only Pueblo Mágico with an international airport. Set within the Danzante Bay master-planned community and backed by the Sea of Cortez and Sierra de la Giganta mountains, Mailena is designed to be more than a resort—it’s an immersive retreat for longevity, reconnection, and sustainable luxury.
“Mailena represents the next chapter in Danzante Bay's evolution. Our vision is to create a holistic sanctuary where guests can prioritize their wellbeing while connecting with the area's magical qualities and breathtaking natural beauty through thoughtful design, cutting-edge wellness technology and curated destination experiences.”
Luz Maria Torres, Developer of Danzante Bay
A Location with Meaning and Majesty
Perched on a secluded beach within Loreto Bay National Marine Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mailena offers prime access to Baja’s famed “Aquarium of the World,” with kayaking, snorkeling, and marine excursions integrated into the guest experience. Loreto’s quiet charm, colonial architecture, and cultural depth—dating back to 1697—set the backdrop for this elevated escape, with direct flights into town from major U.S. and Canadian cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Calgary.
Thoughtful Design Rooted in Nature
Designed by award-winning architecture firm Broissin, Mailena’s built environment honors its surroundings. Earth-toned materials, native vegetation, and wood-and-stone elements create a low-impact, organic aesthetic.
“Mailena is a place where architecture listens, breathes and flows in harmony with nature... The resort is a tribute to the region’s natural contours and undulating topography, with wellness at its core.”
David Suárez, Architect
The resort is organized into three interconnected zones, each with a distinct purpose:
The Lobby: Anchored by a living olive tree, a symbol of longevity and resilience.
The Wellness Center: A cenote-inspired sanctuary, complete with contrast therapy elements and next-generation rejuvenation technologies.
The Signature Restaurant: Designed with an indoor-outdoor pool and sweeping ocean views that dissolve the boundary between land and sea.
An Elevated Approach to Wellness
At the center of the experience is the Wellness and Longevity Center, offering science-based, customizable wellness programs alongside a full suite of therapies and rituals. Guests will have access to:
Sensory deprivation tanks
Steam rooms and saunas
Snow room for contrast therapy
Biohacking suites
Shiatsu massage pools
State-of-the-art fitness studio
Yoga and Pilates spaces
Each touchpoint is designed to promote mental clarity, physical restoration, and long-term health, all within an environment that encourages reflection and presence.
Culinary Philosophy: Vitality Through Food
Mailena’s culinary offerings are as intentional as its spa treatments. Several onsite dining concepts will spotlight functional nutrition and local ingredients, fusing coastal Mexican flavors with nutrient-rich preparations. Think freshly caught seafood, whole produce from regional farms, and dishes crafted with individual wellness goals in mind.
The signature restaurant—panoramic in setting and precise in execution—will serve as the resort’s culinary centerpiece, offering immersive dining that mirrors the balance and care reflected throughout the property.
Accommodations Designed for Stillness and Style
Mailena will feature 96 luxury accommodations, ranging from open-plan suites to private casitas and one-bedroom penthouses. Each is designed with immersive views, soft textures, and calming interiors that reflect the spirit of the region. Natural light, spatial flow, and quiet materials come together to create havens that invite guests to unwind fully and deliberately.
Additional amenities include an oceanfront pool, a relaxed beach club, and access to the award-winning TPC Danzante Bay, Mexico’s only TPC-designated golf course, designed by Rees Jones and widely celebrated for its cliffside 17th hole.
A Lifestyle Beyond the Check-In
For those seeking a deeper connection to the Loreto lifestyle, real estate opportunities within Danzante Bay are available, with homes starting at $1.4 million and lots from $650,000. Residents of Mantarraya, an enclave of 43 luxury condos and penthouses, will also have privileged access to Mailena’s facilities and programming.
More than a hotel, Mailena is part of a growing vision for what luxury travel in Baja California can become—sustainably designed, rooted in local culture, and elevated through purpose-driven hospitality.
Reservations are expected to open in March 2026. For more information, visit mailenawellnessresort.com
