Overview

Palmilla, one of the original hotspots of the rich and famous. Even as a small 1950's hideaway, Palmilla drew Hollywood stars and world leaders to its doors. Live glamorously at One&Only Palmilla.

A visually rich resort wonderful for family and couples.

Once the playground of Hollywood movie stars such as Clark Gable, John Wayne, and Desi Arnaz, Palmilla originally opened as a sophisticated 15-room resort for the international elite.

Built in the 1950s by ambitious aviator and playboy Abelardo Luis Rodriguez, son of the president of Mexico, the resort community of Palmilla, with One&Only Palmilla standing as its jewel, has blossomed into one of the highest rated getaways south of the U.S. border.

At One&Only Palmilla, you can either sit back and luxuriate as the movie stars did before you, or jump feet first into aquatic adventures. Los Cabos in renowned for its deep-sea game fishing, and the resort is happy to accommodate both novice and tournament fishers. Nearby coral reefs allow for great scuba diving and snorkeling, with visibility more than 100 feet down.

If you're a land-lubber, don't miss the resort's 27-hole golf course, personally designed by Jack Nicklaus that offers stunning views of the Sea of Cortez.
