Luxury villa rentals in Palmilla.

Palmilla is located along the Sea of Cortez coastline on the Tourist Corridor, approximately 4 miles west of San José del Cabo and 15 miles east of Cabo San Lucas. It’s one of the most centrally located communities in Los Cabos — just 20 minutes from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), 15 minutes from San José del Cabo’s Art District, and 15 minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas.

Palmilla is Los Cabos’ original luxury community, home to the iconic One&Only Palmilla Resort (a Condé Nast Gold List property since the 1950s). The community features a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course (his first in Mexico), one of the region’s best swimmable beaches (Playa Palmilla), and several exclusive residential enclaves. Its combination of resort-level amenities, storied history, and central Corridor location make it the most prestigious address in Los Cabos.

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.

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.
