A Glimpse Into the Experience
Day One: Welcome to San Miguel
Arrive, settle into your boutique hotel, and meet the other designers joining the retreat. We'll kick things off with an intimate rooftop dinner overlooking San Miguel—the perfect setting to unwind, get to know one another, and toast the week ahead.
Day Two: Architecture & Discovery
Explore the historic heart of San Miguel through its remarkable architecture, thoughtfully designed spaces, and beautifully curated galleries that showcase the city's unique design character.
Day Three: Craft & Tradition
Venture beyond the city to meet talented artisans in their workshops, experience generations of craftsmanship firsthand, and discover the beauty of making by hand.
Day Four: Contemporary Design
Experience a different side of San Miguel through inspiring contemporary spaces, galleries, studios, and the creatives shaping the city's design scene today.
Day Five: Farewell
We'll gather for one final brunch before saying our goodbyes. If your flight allows, spend the afternoon exploring San Miguel at your own pace with a curated guide to my favorite shops, galleries, cafés, and hidden gems we didn't have time to visit together.
Why I Created Passport by Allito
As much as I love designing homes, I also love designing experiences.
I'm the person who happily spends weeks researching restaurants, boutique hotels, hidden shops, and unforgettable places before a trip. I genuinely enjoy curating itineraries that feel thoughtful, relaxed, and full of experiences you never would have found on your own.
Over the years, I've realized that so many designers dream about visiting places like San Miguel de Allende, Morocco, or Bali, but those trips often stay on the bucket list. Whether it's because they're busy running a business or because planning a trip somewhere a little more off the beaten path feels overwhelming, they just never quite happen.
Passport by Allito was created to change that.
I've done the planning, built the relationships, and curated an experience that lets you simply show up, immerse yourself in an incredible place, and enjoy it alongside people who share your same obsession with design.
Honestly, I think it's going to be the highlight of my year, and I hope it'll be one of yours too..
