Rediscovering Loreto Through Its Landscape

The Brief
Baja Link Resort is based on an existing beachfront hotel complex in Loreto, Baja California Sur. The project proposes its transformation through a phased approach that revitalizes the existing structures and incorporates new amenities designed to modernize the resort experience without losing its connection to the site. The first phase focuses on renovating the areas necessary for hotel operations and adding new services, recreational spaces, and six oceanfront villas. The goal is to create a contemporary hospitality experience connected to the landscape, climate, and architectural identity of Loreto.
Project Scope
The proposal begins by recognizing and reusing the complex’s existing structure. Rather than proposing a complete replacement, the project reorganizes and rehabilitates its various buildings, incorporating new elements that expand the program and strengthen the complex’s relationship with the sea. The first phase includes 14 standard rooms, 20 suites, and six new beachfront villas, as well as a swimming pool, restaurant, pool bar, and fitness area. The master plan also incorporates a new waterfront and reorganizes the resort’s central service areas and circulation routes. The main building houses the reception area, retail spaces, a beauty center, administrative offices, a bar and lounge, a laundry facility, terraces, and gardens. Adjacent to it, the poolside restaurant, pool bar, and chill-out areas form a sequence of indoor and outdoor spaces oriented toward the landscape and outdoor living. Architecturally, the design incorporates recognizable elements of local tradition—patios, arches, stone walls, wood, vegetation, and sun-protected spaces—reinterpreting them through a more contemporary design language. The project images particularly highlight this intention in the main building, where a succession of arches and patios structures the circulation paths, and in the dining areas, where wood, stone, and lightweight elements create a more open architecture that is closely connected to the outdoors. The result aims to transform an existing complex into a renovated resort where architecture, landscape, and hospitality form part of a shared experience, preserving the site’s identity while adapting to a new way of understanding tourism in Loreto.

A project that reclaims the identity of the site to create a new seaside experience.

Ujo+partners is overseeing the architectural and conceptual transformation of the complex, from the reorganization of the master plan to the design of the main hospitality spaces. The project includes the renovation of existing buildings, the addition of new oceanfront villas, and the development of the main building, restaurant, pool bar, outdoor areas, and common spaces. The project addresses architecture, interior design, and the material and aesthetic definition of the various spaces, establishing a common language inspired by the architecture and landscape of Baja California.
