Your refuge facing the sea
A unique lighthouse retreat where the Sea of Cortez is not just a view, but part of the experience. Designed as a place to slow down, reconnect, and feel the horizon, the Romain Lighthouse offers an intimate escape between sea, light, and silence.
About
The Romain Lighthouse project was born when Cecilia and Ian, after several years of experience in the vacation rental industry, decided to offer something different. Too often, accommodation is chosen simply to have a roof over one’s head, while most tourist activities take place outside the home. This led to a simple question: why couldn’t the accommodation itself become part of the experience? The goal was no longer just to offer a place to sleep, but to create a true lodging experience. From this idea, the Romain Lighthouse project took shape.
The land was purchased in November 2021, and construction was completed in December 2023. The Romain Lighthouse offers 150 m² of living space and rises to a height of 14.5 meters at the top of its dome.

Quite simply, the most idyllic, peaceful, adventurous and spiritual AirBnB I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying. I think I experienced some kind of life changing moment while living in Ian’s beautiful light house ‘El Faro’. One night I played guitar in the master suite and watched the sealife swimming in the ocean as the sun set. Another I sat alone on the beach and looked up at the endless stars. Just do it. You won’t regret it. Plus Ian and his wonderful family were terrific hosts and made me feel comfortable even tho I was staying alone. I run a company in the US and needed great wifi for video calls – Ian has set up star link which was the best wifi speed I’ve had anywhere in Mexico! Truly magical. I’ve recommended it to everybody I know. If you’re reading this, just go for it and enjoy the most unique stay of your life

One of our favorite spots we’ve ever stayed. Already looking forward to returning. A grand sense of space and autonomy; we were often the only people on the beach. Saw an octopus and squid while snorkeling. Really appreciated the kayaks for great adventures up the coast.
Tons of room for lots of people. Lots of beaches and fun dirt roads to explore up the coast, lovely trails nearby. Ian was a great host, very responsive and friendly.
Highly recommended!

Faro Romain was more than we had hoped. Built by a thoughtful couple just a few years ago, I couldn’t suggest a single improvement. Our weekend was about stargazing, kayaking, beach fires, exploring tide pools, looking for sea glass, and making/sharing meals. This was my Christmas present to my adult kids and I’m glad they were able to join. A weekend at the lighthouse will definitely be on my calendar when in La Paz next winter. IMO, the lighthouse is a minimum of 3-4 nights stay next time!
