Our Habitas San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Morning arrives in watercolor layers—peach sky, soft sagebrush, and the distant bell of a church carried on dry air.

Set on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende, Our Habitas is a boutique desert retreat with 60 freestanding bungalows, where canvas, timber, and stone fold into the highland landscape.

Expect sun-warmed decks, star-thick nights, and days threaded with mezcal, mercados, and long swims.

What Makes It Special

• Low-impact desert design: standalone bungalows with private terraces, earthy palettes, and woven textures.
• Pool with a view: a calm, linear pool edged by mesquite and agave, made for golden-hour floats.
• Wellness & ritual: morning breathwork and yoga, temazcal-style heat, and desert-scented treatments.
• Conscious cuisine: wood fire, local maize, smoky salsas, garden herbs—Mexico’s larder, simply done.
• Community moments: sunset gatherings, live acoustic sets, and chef nights under string lights.

A Day at Our Habitas San Miguel de Allende

Morning

The desert is hushed but for cactus wrens. Stretch into sunrise yoga, then spoon honey over yogurt and warm blue-corn tortillas as the light turns buttery.

Afternoon

Drift into town for galleries and a quick wander through the mercado de artesanías; back at the hotel, the pool is cool, the air scented with creosote after a brief sprinkle. A nap on your terrace, shade rippling through palm-woven screens.

Evening

Mezcal tasting as the sky slides from apricot to aubergine. Dinner is grilled trout with epazote, charred nopales, and a bright salsa verde.

Night

Crickets, ember glow, the Milky Way faint but sure. You fall asleep to the dry whisper of desert wind against canvas.

Insider Tips for Our Habitas San Miguel de Allende

• Some terraces aren’t fully covered, so during rain you might get splashes; request an upper room with full roof coverage if that matters.
• There’s no coffee maker or full room service, so bring snacks or enjoy the on-site restaurant early.
• Uber is readily available, making it easy to go into town without renting a car.
• The road to the property is unpaved in parts, so drive slowly and avoid arriving after dark.
• Breakfast is excellent, especially local dishes like huevos motuleños.
• Take advantage of the programming included in your stay—morning yoga, cinema nights, music sessions, and more.
• The welcome ceremony and rituals are meaningful and set the tone for a mindful visit (ask to schedule it if it’s not automatic).
