El Pedregal

Top choice in Sonora


There are just eight lovely adobe and straw-bale cabins here, all with stylish artistic furnishings and luxury bedding scattered around 8 hectares of tropical deciduous forest on the edge of Álamos, 2km from the plaza. The welcoming owners are expert birders and lead tours. A good-sized pool, 3km of trails, a yoga studio and a massage parlor complete the scene.
