LOS CABOS, MEXICO
History & Story
Cradled on the cusp of the sun-kissed Baja Peninsula, with coveted panoramas over the Sea of Cortez, One&Only Palmilla is a legendary retreat where the marvels of Mexico come to life in ultimate style.
Spacious cliff-side havens with sweeping sea views, enveloped in privacy and old-world Mexican charm. With round-the-clock care from our passionate team who offer personalised service, hand over heart.
A collection of show-stopping destination restaurants and private dining experiences are beautifully staged amongst the elements. Championing authentic Mexican flavours, fresh sashimi, local spiny lobster, and imported Wagyu are masterfully prepared, complemented by one of the country’s most esteemed wine cellars.
Venture beyond and discover spectacular rugged landscapes, weaving your 4X4, quadbike, or horse through blooming desert cacti. Delve into rich life-filled waters, on a luxury sunset yacht charter, a scuba adventure, or iconic whale-watching trip. And meander our treasured local town, browsing colourful artisans, galleries, and our recommended dining spots.
Then return and feel captivated by the energy throughout the resort, dabbling in tennis, learning to surf and cook local recipes. Perfecting your swing with RoboGolfPro® before teeing off at the scenic Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Unwinding by our distinct adult-only and family pools; taking a dip at Pelican Beach, one of the coast’s only swimmable coves.
Kids and teens can dive into a fun-packed programme of activities, including sports, creative workshops, and exclusive social events, while you withdraw to our alluring spa, where one-of-a-kind holistic healing ignites a sense of renewal and utter indulgence among the flora.
