Property Overview

A legendary retreat where the marvels of Mexico come to life in ultimate style. One&Only Palmilla is the original Cabo hotspot; dating back to the 1950’s it offered a luxurious escape for the Hollywood jet-set and today, it remains a chic hideaway. Designed in a classic hacienda-style architecture that embodies the grace and charm of Old-World Mexico while reflecting a touch of modern elegance.

The resort is set in a lush tropical oasis along the Sea of Cortez with stunning ocean views on display throughout. Guests enjoy beachfront access and one of the few swimmable beaches in the region. Here you’ll find private beach coves with floating daybeds that beckon for relaxation and exhilarating ocean activities for days of sun-soaked fun. Gray whales can be seen rising majestically offshore, reminding you of the vibrant sea life that thrive in these coastal waters.
