Considered The "Jewel Of Baja" And Located On Once the tropical hideaway for the likes of Hemingway and Harlow, the serenely private and sensually elegant One&Only Palmilla features expansive ocean-facing accommodation, each with veranda, sunbeds, and indulgent amenities. Internationally acclaimed as the quintessential embodiment of elegance, every need is attended to with gracious hospitality, and the distinctive artistry of Mexico is discovered at every turn, from wrought iron as delicately patterned as lace to massive wooden doors weathered with age for authentic beauty.

A verdant oasis on the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where azure waters greet the mountainous desert and the Pacific Ocean merges with the Sea of Cortez. Here, the gracious style of Old Mexico - with its red-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls, and idyllic setting of exquisite fountains - is quietly nestled amidst swaying palms, bird of paradise and other tropical bloom.

Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - One and Only Palmilla
Eloisa C., Oakland, CA. December, 2006
"The hotel location and view are phenomenal. We had a beachfront suite and simply loved going to sleep to the sound of waves crashing and watching the sun rise. More importantly for us, however, was the exceptional service. The round-the-clock service is next to none; the graciousness and courtesy demonstrated by each and every hotel staff exceeded our very high expectations. The staff was very accommodating, always responding 'right away' to just about any request made. Most importantly, the biggest draw for us is Restaurant C, operated by one of our favorite chefs, Charlie Trotter. The various tasting menus prepared by the chef and the wine pairing by the sommelier on our numerous visits to Restaurant C were amazing. We are in the hospitality industry and have very high standards yet the staff at Restaurant C and the One & Only Palmilla more than exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend the hotel."
Joyce E., Washington, DC. December, 2006
"One of the most fabulous hotels we have stayed at. The room was spacious and the service was perfect. Both restaurants were exceptional. The only criticism was that I would have liked more English-speaking TV stations."
John, Los Angeles, CA. December, 2006

Ellen, Los Angeles, CA. August, 2006
"Our stay was a fantastic expereince. All hotel staffs were extremely helpful and professional. The hotel is nothing but first class and the view of our room is unbelievably beautiful. I would definitely stay here again."
