ABOUT PALMILLA
Where Los Cabos luxury began — the legendary community behind the One&Only Resort
Palmilla is the most legendary and prestigious community in all of Los Cabos — the first full-scale master-planned luxury development to break ground in the region. Located on the Sea of Cortez coastline 4 miles west of San José del Cabo along the Tourist Corridor, Palmilla is anchored by the world-famous One&Only Palmilla Resort, which has defined Baja luxury since the 1950s when it was an exclusive hideaway for Hollywood’s elite, including John Wayne, Bing Crosby, and Lucille Ball. Today, the resort holds Condé Nast Traveler Gold List status and features SEARED by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
Beyond the resort, the Palmilla community encompasses over 900 high-end properties across several exclusive enclaves, including Palmilla Estates (spacious homes framed by golf fairways and ocean vistas), Villas del Mar (ultra-luxury residences steps from resort amenities), and the Caleta oceanfront community. The Palmilla Golf Club features a spectacular 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature course — his first in Mexico — winding through desert arroyos with dramatic Sea of Cortez views. Playa Palmilla is one of Los Cabos’ few swimmable beaches, with calm, clear water perfect for families. Las Tiendas de Palmilla shopping center offers boutique retail and dining. The community’s location is ideal: just 20 minutes from the airport, 15 minutes from San José del Cabo’s Art District, and 15 minutes from Cabo San Lucas.

What services are included in a Palmilla villa rental?
Every Palmilla villa booked through Villa Experience includes a private chef or cook (2–3 meals per day, groceries at cost), daily housekeeping, and a dedicated concierge. Many villas include a butler, pool attendant, and security. Your concierge arranges golf tee times at the Palmilla Golf Club, One&Only spa reservations, SEARED restaurant bookings, fishing charters, whale watching, snorkeling at nearby Chileno Bay, and airport transfers from SJD.
Can Palmilla villa guests access One&Only Resort amenities?
Access to One&Only Palmilla Resort amenities depends on the specific villa and its relationship with the resort. Some Palmilla villas within Villas del Mar and select enclaves include resort privileges such as spa access, restaurant reservations, and beach club use. Other independently located Palmilla villas are not affiliated with the resort. Your Villa Experience concierge will confirm which resort amenities are available with your specific villa booking.
