Enjoy a Magnificent Mexican Adventure with One&Only Palmilla
May 8, 2013
One&Only Palmilla, situated on 250 acres of spectacular Mexican shoreline, is a pioneer amongst luxury resorts in the Los Cabos region of Mexico. Offering one of the region's few swimmable beaches, One&Only Palmilla has stunning views of the extraordinary Los Cabos natural landscape and coastline and offers guests the ultimate in luxury and an incredible selection of outdoor activities both on land and sea.
One&Only Palmilla is located within the Los Cabos Corridor, a 21 mile stretch between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas at the southernmost point of Baja California along the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. The Los Cabos region is noted for its stunning natural geography of mountainous desert terrain set along the Pacific Ocean shoreline and guests can enjoy an abundance of outdoor recreation options, including championship golf, deep-sea fishing, diving, sailing, hiking, horse riding and paragliding.
The 27-hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course adjacent to the resort opened in 1993 and The Palmilla Golf Club hosts the Senior PGA Tour Senior Slam every year. The course, which has been rated as one of the top 100 in the world by the Great Gold Resorts of the World, offers views of the Sea of Cortez from 12 of its 27 holes and boasts five sets of staggered tees, stunning fairways, four lakes and challenging shifts in elevation.
For those looking for sea based activities, just offshore from One&Only Palmilla, opportunities abound for sailing, kayaking, diving and snorkeling- with Los Cabos' natural reef rated among the finest in the world, offering underwater visibility of up to 120 feet. Deep-sea fishing is another favourite sport in Los Cabos, which is known as the “Marlin Capital of the World,” and offers more than 800 species of game fish. During the winter months, the region is also noted for its whale migrations from the Arctic and, given One&Only Palmilla's unique location, it offers unparalleled views of the giant mammals as they arrive in the Sea of Cortez.
For guests wanting to get away from it all, One&Only Palmilla brings exemplary service to the high seas with its luxurious 50 foot AZIMUT 43S Yacht, which offers daily private charter services along the Pacific Coast for a truly unforgettable experience.
After all of the water sports, guests are encouraged to also explore Los Cabos' beautiful back country through a range of activities that encompass all ages. Hiking along the old Indian trails remains a favourite option, where guests can explore the waterfalls and canyons nearby and dive and swim in natural spring pools surrounded by incredible rock formations. Horseback riding across the desert is also available, and itineraries can be especially created dependent on skill and keenness, ranging from a one hour jaunt to a half day adventure across the craggy ridges and sand dunes.
One&Only Palmilla also caters to those looking for extreme activities, including Ultra-Light flying, where guests can take off with an expert pilot on board a gasoline engine powered, low speed, hand glider with no cabin to experience the feeling of free flying and be awed by one of the most beautiful views at Lands' End in Cabo San Luca. Another way to experience the contrast of the desert and the sea of Los Cabos is to parasail like a bird and fly to 200 metres for the ultimate in adrenaline rushes.
Guests looking to relax after the outdoor adventures, the One&Only Palmilla Spa is the perfect sanctuary to unwind, restore and elevate. The spa boasts a specialized set of holistic programs representing a blend of Mexican, Asian and global accents. With spa therapies and treatments designed to nurture and rebalance the body in times of change, pressure and stress, the One&Only Spa Philosophies can be adapted to suit custom needs through a specialized set of holistic programs and spa experiences. For a custom experience, expert therapists will guide the mind and body back into harmonious balance with a unique collection of Signature Rituals that utilize techniques and ingredients tailored to each individual resort location and personality.
One&Only Palmilla boasts 173 keys including 61 oceanfront guestrooms, 78 junior sites, 16 pool casitas, 17 one-bedroom suites and the four bedroom Villa Cortez. The property offers three restaurants, including Market, developed by the Michelin-starred chef JeanGeorges Vongerichten as a fusion Mexican “couture cuisine” concept in which guests can customize their cuisine as they prefer. Jean-Georges also oversees Breeze, an outdoor terrace café which offers a light menu with everything from quesadillas to ceviches to a variety of sandwiches and salads. The property's third restaurant, Agua, is perched on a bluff with panoramic views of water and the surrounding landscape, adjacent to the resorts 's infinity edge pool- the menu here is an innovative hybrid dubbed “Mexiterranean,” created by Chef Larbi Dahrouch, a former protégé of Jean-Louis Palladin.
