One&Only Palmilla

One & Only Palmilla - Ultra Luxury

Experience a retreat of exceptional luxury, where natural beauty and world-class amenities coexist in harmony. The legendary One&Only Palmilla has earned a deserved place among the world’s finest resorts. The beautiful traditional architecture—with red-tiled roofs, whitewashed buildings and tranquil fountains—is nestled in a spectacular beachfront setting surrounded by swaying palms. Having recently undergone an extensive renovation, this outstanding vacation retreat is better than ever, with restyled guest rooms and suites, new facilities and gourmet dining options.

Originally built in the mid-twentieth century as an exclusive hideaway for the son of the President of Mexico, the resort soon became a favorite hideaway of Hollywood’s elite, including John Wayne, Bing Crosby and Lucille Ball. Today, the resort combines a long and illustrious tradition of excellence with modern luxuries, offering extraordinary guest service, championship golf at the Palmilla Golf Club, award-winning dining and a breathtaking beachfront location. Accommodations are beautifully appointed with elegant furnishings, handcrafted Mexican accents, new furnishings and fabrics, aromatherapy turn-down menus, telescopes for star-gazing and whale watching, and much more. Guests will also appreciate the welcome tequila beverage, personal butler service and fresh fruit delivered to the room daily.

With so much to do, you’ll find plenty of ways to relax and pamper yourself at the One & Only Palmilla. Savor the unforgettable gourmet cuisine of SEARED by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten or Agua. Enjoy a soothing massage or body treatment at the One&Only Spa and Fitness Center. Play a round of golf or hit the tennis courts. Or simply relax and enjoy the Sea of Cortez vistas in one of the world’s finest resorts.
