One&Only Palmilla

San Jose del Cabo, Mexico

One&Only Palmilla

At the core of this residence lies a legendary Los Cabos address, originally opened in 1956 as the Hotel Palmilla. Once a secluded retreat that hosted U.S. presidents, writers, and other famous fishing enthusiasts, it retains the charm of a historic estate, now complemented by hacienda-style pavilions and villas clinging to the cliffs of the Baja Peninsula. Inside, the period architectural style is infused with contemporary touches, creating suites bathed in shades of white and beige that keep the Pacific waves in full view. At the nearby Palmilla Social Club, guests can enjoy a refreshing drink between rounds of golf, as the Palmilla Golf Club’s 27 holes wind through the surrounding landscape of mountains, desert, and ocean.
