This summer, Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort introduces its Collection of Emotions, a curated series of artist residencies, culinary moments, and wellness experiences designed to connect guests more deeply to place. Set between desert and sea, the program highlights both contemporary Mexican artistry and time-honored techniques through immersive, property-wide activations.

At the center is a rotating roster of resident artists, including Los Cabos muralist Rodrigo Azanza, designers Salvador and Enzo Compañ of Lørdag & Søndag, and textile artist Daniela Chiñas. Contemporary works chosen by Lørdag & Søndag and created in collaboration with Mexican artisans will be installed throughout the resort to engage directly with the landscape. Each piece is informed by native materials, regional craft techniques, and the distinct visual language of Baja California Sur.

Culinary and wellness programming complement the residency series, drawing on local ingredients and ancestral practices from across Mexico.  Together, the experiences reflect a grounded expression and honor the richness of Mexico’s Pacific and Central coasts through craft, flavor, and heritage.

“Throughout the Summer 2026 Collection of Emotions at Las Ventanas al Paraíso, we set out to reflect how summer unfolds in Baja—where light, landscape, and creativity naturally converge,” says Sébastien Dental, Managing Director of Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort. “From our resident artists to the culinary and wellness experiences across the property, each moment is shaped by place and tradition, and designed for guests to engage with the craft in a more personal, meaningful way.”

Programming highlights include:

Mezcal Four Hands Spa Ritual: Rooted in the therapeutic traditions of Oaxaca, this ritual recontextualizes mezcal as a medicinal “elixir” rather than a spirit. Two therapists perform a synchronized four-hand massage using silky, citrus-infused oils inspired by the aromatic notes of the local agave. By combining deep muscular techniques with assisted stretches, the treatment focuses on restoring mobility and vitality, offering a look at how Mexican healing practices can be integrated into modern recovery.
Artist in Residence: Throughout July 2026, La Cava wine cellar will be transformed into a living canvas as local artist Rodrigo Azanza creates an original, Baja Sur-inspired mural rooted in ancestral fresco techniques – one of the earliest painting methods – using earth pigments sourced from the deserts of Baja Sur. Joining him during the month, Rodrigo’s wife, ceramic artist Coty Childers, will co-host a series of intimate workshops, inviting guests into a hands-on exploration of clay, technique, and creative process.
Lørdag & Søndag Sculpture Residency and Workshops: A partnership with the renowned Mexico City-based studio Lørdag & Søndag—spearheaded by Salvador and Enzo Compañ—invites guests to engage directly with the vanguard of contemporary Mexican craftsmanship. The studio specializes in Artefactos: unique, handmade items that blend modern design with materials like volcanic stone, wood, and textiles. Works created with Mexican artisans will be displayed throughout the resort and guests can explore the installation during guided sunset walks with Salvador Compañ, who shares the inspiration, materials, and techniques behind each piece. During Mixteco Knot Workshops, textile artist Daniela Chiñas will host intimate sessions where guests will learn the time-honored process of Mixteco weaving to create their own fans or baskets. The residency will culminate in an artifact dinner at La Plaza, featuring a menu specifically inspired by co-founder Salvador Compañ‘s sculptural forms and Daniela’s woven artistry, bringing the art to the table for a single evening | August 5-15
The Stargazing Dinner: This experience transforms Baja’s night sky into a culinary narrative, beginning with a secluded beach arrival and unfolding over a multi-course dinner set directly on the sand, with the Sea of Cortez as backdrop. A professional stargazing host guides guests through the constellations via telescope, culminating in a “Milky Way” dessert designed to mirror the celestial bodies observed—linking the flavors on the plate to the galaxy above.
Bespoke Picnic on the Beach: Set against the Sea of Cortez, the picnic utilizes Cabo-inspired woven textures and lanterns to create a grounded, barefoot setting. The menu is a curated selection of seasonally inspired hors d’oeuvres served with chilled Champagne, accompanied by an artisanal cheese and charcuterie board sourced from Baja Sur’s local farms.
