El Encanto de Cabo Pulmo is a vacation experience you're sure to cherish. Art is a central theme, with folkart collected over years of
Mexico
travel, plus contemporary nature-inspired works, and whimsical touches that will surprise and delight for the duration of your stay. An eclectic mix of handcrafted furniture, traditional wood windows, and oriental carpets throughout convey an intimate timeless feel. Take a look at Diane's art. |

Comfort-designed for southern Baja's famously mild climate, rooms spill out onto generous covered patios, sheltered from stiff winter nortes and open to the gentle breezes of summer. Private walled gardens put some of Baja's showiest natives on display, complemented by desert-adapted plants from throughout the world. Flowers attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies, plus birdbaths and feeders, keep the gardens lively! See Diane's Desert Garden Blog. |

Main House
Rental of the Main House—with kitchen, living, dining, patios—includes the Fountain Suite, which opens onto a courtyard crowned by a hand-painted talavera fountain. The bedroom can be made up as two Twins or one King (specify when you make your reservation).
The gourmet kitchen has all the trimmings, with built-in BBQ and polished beach pebble bar. Dine indoors in the formal dining area, out on the garden patio, or in the fountain court. Cook in, dine out, order out and dine in... You have lots of options, including having a traditional meal of chile rellenos, frijoles and fresh salsa with piping hot tortillas delivered right to your door.
Rustic cabinet doors in the living room open to a wide-screen TV with home theatre sound and DVD player, complemented by a collection of some all-time favorite movies. Auxiliary patio speakers, XM Satellite Radio, and universal iPod dock round out the sound scene. Plus wireless internet. Or turn down the sound and peruse our collection of art books and Baja natural history field guides.

Vista Suite
The Vista Suite, with King-size bed, boasts the best views of the house. There’s a large covered patio with an open end that’s great for sunbathing and stargazing. Plus a pair of hammocks and a large dining set. The suite does not have a kitchen; we provide coffee service and an ice chest for your beverages. |

Casita Suite
The Casita Suite, with Queen-size bed, is separated from the main house by a breezeway. The shady patio borders an intimate garden space. Enjoy after-dinner drinks by the warm glow of your private campfire—a small rock-wall amphitheatre with traditional ceramic chimenea fireplace. The suite does not have a kitchen; we provide coffee service and an ice chest for your beverages. |

Beachin'
The beach is just a short walk away, but we wouldn't think of sending you there ill-prepared! We equip you with beach towels, folding chairs, umbrellas, ice chests and snorkeling gear. Rental kayaks are close-by. On your return, rinse and refresh at the outdoor shower.

Go Solar!
Cabo Pulmo is off the grid, but at El Encanto, you'd hardly know it. A generous solar array and battery bank, with energy-efficient fans, lights and appliances, provide all the power you'll need. We provide guidelines on "solar living" with your on-site orientation (no electric hair dryers, please!). Bedroom air conditioners (rarely needed) rely on a back-up generator. |
