Baja California dreamin’

La Paz, at the southern end of the Baja California peninsula, is a storied position (see John Steinbeck’s The Pearl, in which it is an intriguing protagonist). It’s also on the up as a destination for Californians keen to trade Cabo’s glitz for a thing more modern day. Brothers Jaime, Rafael and Moisés Micha and their buddy Carlos Couturier – the men behind the Grupo Habita lodge collection, Mexico’s recognised anointers of The Future Huge Thing – have very long had their eyes on it. When they discovered the suitable web page – an early-20th-century villa, long gone a little bit to seed – they bought to get the job done, expanding and enlisting French layout duo Jaune to execute the interiors. The final result is Baja Club, a 32-home winner ideal on La Paz’s historic Malécon that opened in March. Unique ironwork on doorways and windows has been preserved likewise the vintage red terrazzo flooring. But elsewhere the Micha exciting aspect is substantially in evidence – from the outside kitchen to the groovy rooftop terrace bar (they’ve elevated the sundowner to a large art form) to the unexpected modern day-Greek flavours on the restaurant menu.
