In between San Jose and La Paz on the East Cape, and steps away from the Sea of Cortez, Rancho Buena Vista is close to everything, but miles away from anything you've ever experienced. An old-style Oceanfront Resort, we still serve our meals family-style in our beachfront restaurant, and we still believe that a vacation is best enjoyed when you can disconnect from the life you left behind...if only for a week or so. Book now above to schedule your next trip to Rancho Buena Vista (our rates include 3 delicious meals per day).

“Rancho Buena Vista…Baja the way it always was - the way it was meant to be. Don't miss it.” TripAdvisor Review, May 2010

Our guests have varied interests; some like to fish, others enjoy kiteboarding. Some enjoy Yoga on the Beach (or on a paddleboard!), some play dominos at the bar. Some guests are here to pass the torch of family vacation at Rancho Buena Vista down to their children, while others are here to ponder life while strolling the miles upon miles of empty beaches.

“When I first came to Rancho Buena Vista in 1962 I knew I had discovered something really special and I've been back almost every year since” TripAdvisor Review, May 2010

Here it is quiet and peaceful. Here is where you come to unplug your phone and maybe even throw it into the sea. Here we do not have phones or TVs in our rooms. Here we eat dinner family-style. Here is where we come to be reminded how simple life should be.

“…you'll definitely leave thinking about when you'll be back!” TripAdvisor Review, May 2010

Oceanfront Bungalows

Our resort is right on the water so every room is within steps of the Sea. We have three room types at Rancho Buena Vista, deluxe bungalows, ocean view rooms, and garden view bungalows. Each room comes equipped with comfortable beds, warm showers, cool air-conditioning, and, most importantly, quiet. We don't have TVs and we don't have phones, but we do have a lot of books to loan you.
