One&Only Palmilla

Closer to the town of San Jose del Cabo on this southernmost tip of Baja California, Palmilla is one of those ‘super’ resorts that does everything well and despite its size, delivers an incredibly personal service.

Each of its rooms are in individual one-storey or three-storey ‘casas’ giving you the added sense of privacy and seclusion. They have been decorated in a typically seaside style with lots of warm colours, light woods and pastel hues, and all come with the high-tech modern comforts, private patio or balcony, 24-hour butler service and breath taking views over the Sea of Cortez.

Furthermore Palmilla is set on one of the only stretches along this coastline whose beaches are good for swimming, and is close to a number of good surfing spots too, not to mention being one of the World’s Top Golf Hotels (Golf Digest). The hotel’s pool concierge service is another thing we can’t fail to mention, seeing that they offer 20-minute foot massages, fully loaded iPods and iPads, and they even clean your sunglasses for you! A private yacht for sunset cruises and four restaurants (one headed by the Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, another specialising in sushi and ceviche, another in gourmet Mediterranean cuisine..), you are left in no doubt about Palmilla’s superiority as a property voted Latin America’s Number One hotel by Travel and Leisure.
