an introduction
Nestled on a pristine private peninsula, One&Only is the ultimate tropical playground for discovery.
The legendary “Grande Dame” of Los Cabos, set on its own pristine private peninsula, remains the ultimate tropical playground for discovery. Originally built in 1956 as a 15‑room hideaway by the son of Mexico’s then‑president, One&Only Palmilla has welcomed icons such as John Wayne and Lucille Ball.
Perched at the southernmost tip of Baja California, the resort offers unrivalled views of both the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. Its distinct sense of place, rich heritage, flawless service, and exceptional amenities make Palmilla the original resort in Los Cabos.
The arid Baja landscape contrasts beautifully with Palmilla’s lush tropical gardens, spread across 100 hectares of oceanfront. Guests enjoy multiple pools, swimmable beaches, and one of Mexico’s most extraordinary spas, where private treatment villas feature plunge pools, daybeds, and serene outdoor spaces.
Dining is exceptional, led by Michelin‑starred chef Jean‑Georges Vongerichten, whose culinary mastery elevates Palmilla’s reputation as one of the region’s premier gastronomic destinations.
True luxury lies in the details – and Palmilla’s thoughtful touches set it apart. A signature example is how housekeeping leaves a sewing kit coordinated to the colours of your wardrobe after carefully noting your garments. It’s this level of finesse that defines the One&Only experience.

Dining is a destination in itself. SEARED offers refined steak and seafood, including Wagyu A5 and exceptional local catches. Hoshi offers fresh seafood and Japanese culinary classics. Agua Restaurant serves innovative “Mexiterranean” cuisine, while Suviche presents superb sushi and ceviches. For irresistible cocktails, head to the palapa‑styled Agua Bar – day or night.
The marine‑rich Sea of Cortez invites exploration through scuba diving, snorkelling, and world‑class sport fishing. Lazy days unfold at two ocean‑view infinity pools or on the private beach. The dramatic Baja Peninsula can be discovered via chauffeured all‑terrain adventures or horseback riding, and from January to March, whale‑watching cruises aboard Palmilla’s yachts offer unforgettable encounters.
The One&Only Spa is exceptional, and the fitness centre features Technogym equipment. Guests also enjoy tennis, basketball, and non‑motorised water sports.
With sweeping views over the Sea of Cortez and landscapes dotted with arroyos and canyons, the One&Only Palmilla Golf Club is a 27‑hole masterpiece designed by one of the golfing greats, Jack Nicklaus.
