One&Only Palmilla

An oasis on the tip of the Baja Peninsula, the One&Only Palmilla sits where azure waters greet the mountainous desert and the Pacific Ocean merges with the Sea of Cortez. Set along one of the only swimmable beaches in the region, warm waves break onto a dramatic shoreline, and grey whales can be seen rising in the distance. Here, the gracious style of Old Mexico - with red-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls, and fountains are nestled amidst swaying palms and tropical blooms.

All guest rooms and suites feature oceanfront views, contemporary Mexican styling, and 24-hour shared butler service. There are tiled floors, private patios with daybeds, leather headboards, and dark wood furniture.

The One&Only Spa combines local ancient traditions with modern practices and natural ingredients, to offer holistically therapeutic services.
