One&Only Palmilla, Los Cabos Resort
Cradled on sun-kissed Los Cabos, One&Only Palmilla is a legendary retreat where the marvels of Mexico come to life in ultimate style. Here, spacious cliff-side havens with sweeping sea views are enveloped in privacy and Old-World Mexican charm.
One&Only Palmilla sits on 55 acres and offers 174 guest
rooms, including its signature four-bedroom Villa Cortez, where
celebrities like Jennifer Aniston have overnighted in the more than
10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space.
The property’s other highlights include a 20,000-square-foot spa and
four show-stopping restaurants. When you venture outdoors, the options
become even more impressive. You can explore the rugged landscape on a
4x4, quadbike or horse. The resort also has one
of the few swimmable beaches in the region. Get acquainted with the
crystal-clear waters with a casual dip, a sunset yacht charter, a scuba
adventure or a whale-watching trip. But no matter what you decide to do
with your afternoon, unwind after it all with
a drink at Agua Bar.
- Spend the afternoon at the 20,000-square-foot One&Only Spa at Palmilla, which has private treatment villas that come with outdoor beds and soaking tubs, air-conditioned massage pavilions and gardens.
