Historic Rancho Las Cruces is an exclusive Baja seaside beach resort located on a natural sanctuary of more than 10,000 acres and 7 miles of private pristine coastline. Its hotel is situated along the white sandy beaches of the Sea of Cortez and is rooted in deep history.
Lucille Bremer, acclaimed Hollywood actress and dancer, met Abelardo L. Rodriguez Montijo, son of a President of Mexico, in 1947 while filming “Adventures of Casanova” in Mexico City. After falling in love, Abelardo and his beautiful bride, Lucille, decided to turn Las Cruces into a small luxury resort. In 1948, this was the birth of tourism in the state of Baja California Sur.
Las Cruces was the place Abelardo and his family always called home. Here he built his home as well as others for his dear friends and partners Robert Fisher, Desi Arnaz, Bing Crosby, Charles Jones and Roger Bacon.
To this day, Las Cruces offers guests the same natural beauty, tranquility and charm that attracted distinguished visitors. The resort gained notoriety and was visited by many celebrities including princes, presidents, dignitaries, stars, and people who wish to experience the adventure of a land that until then had been inaccessible to most.
