The celebrated French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau described the Sea of Cortez as "the aquarium of the world" due to the great variety of species (of all sizes) that inhabit its deep blue waters. Right at the gates of this gulf, more than 60 years ago, a spectacular resort opened its doors, where now, from a private pool, and accompanied by your partner, you can admire the passing of dozens of gray whales—during this season—in a dream that only a very few can make a reality. The place is the One&Only Palmilla Los Cabos hotel, in Baja California Sur, and we are going to reveal why it is one of "The Best Hotels in Mexico."


Why we love it?

  1. It offers spectacular views of San José Bay and the Sea of Cortez (you cannot miss the 365 different sunsets that occur throughout the year; it's real!).
  2. Its architecture evokes different Mexican design styles.
  3. The dishes prepared collaboratively by Chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Larbi Dahrouch, and Eric Scianimanico at SEARED, which highlight steaks and seafood, are a jewel; you also can't miss savoring the sushi and ceviches at Suviche.


Main Attractions

Its villas for spending the most incredible vacations. These are equipped with large terraces, lush gardens, and infinity pools with glass walls! If you are a golf lover, the Palmilla Golf Club, with 27 holes, will be your temporary home.

It was the first course designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus in Latin American territory (1992).

Its spa is one of the best places to relax in Los Cabos (it uses de-stressing and rejuvenating techniques inherited from ancient indigenous cultures). Its

Best Kept Secret

It has been a refuge for celebrities like John Wayne, Bing Crosby, and Lucille Ball, as well as former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower and former basketball player Michael Jordan.
