Contemplacion Resort & Spa

Stone-and-timber cabins and villas spread across vineyard-edged hillside in Valle de Guadalupe, Baja's wine country, with mountain views through floor-to-ceiling windows. The resort is calm and unhurried by design, with a spa and outdoor pool making it easy to talk yourself out of leaving. The restaurant pulls from an organic garden and local Ensenada producers. San Diego is two hours north, which makes this a natural long-weekend escape for cross-border travelers.
