Casa del Arte: Private Art-Filled Retreat in Todos Santos

Casa del Arte is a private compound in Las Tunas, Todos Santos, built around a palm-filled courtyard with a heated saltwater pool, hot tub and open-air cantina. Featured in Vogue, the home brings together modernist architecture and original sculpture. Four bedrooms across three buildings sleep up to eight. Breakfast and light housekeeping are included, with optional morning visits subject to holiday availability. Starlink Wi-Fi supports video calls. Solar power and batteries keep power and water running during local outages.

Casa del Arte was once the home of sculptor Peter Ambrose. His work is still on the grounds, and buildings designed by his son, architect Garrick Ambrose, surround the courtyard. Swim in the heated saltwater pool, soak in the hot tub, or gather by the fireplace in the open-air cantina. Las Tunas beach is a short walk away, with La Pastora and central Todos Santos a short drive away.

The compound sleeps up to eight across four bedrooms and has four full bathrooms and two half bathrooms. The Adobe House has a king bedroom with a full ensuite, a separate half bath, a full kitchen and an open bonus room with a single bed and no door. The Studio has a king and a queen in one room and a full ensuite. The Casita has two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen and a separate entrance. Each Casita bedroom has two twins that can be joined as a king. The upstairs beds are usually joined, and the downstairs beds are usually separate. The pool house has a half bath. There is also an outdoor shower.

Breakfast and light housekeeping are included during an optional three-hour morning visit, usually 8–11 a.m. Marisela prepares breakfast and clears up. Groceries for breakfast are included, with special requests charged separately. Visits are normally offered daily, subject to holiday availability.

Armando, our local property manager, can share recommendations and help arrange optional extras such as pre-arrival grocery stocking, a private chef, or an in-home massage for an additional charge.
