Looking for the best Loreto Airbnbs?

You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country.

Loreto was the first Spanish mission town in the Californias, on the Sea of Cortez next to Loreto Bay National Park — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.

👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the modern Mexican home with a cocktail pool and sea views — check it out here.

The tricky part is deciding between staying in town, where you can walk to the malecón, and Loreto Bay, a community about 5.5 miles (9 km) south with its own pools and golf course. That’s where I come in!

I’ve hand-picked a list of places, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
