Your Guide to Palmilla Villas

Located on the southern tip of Baja California along the Sea of Cortez, Palmilla is a great place to stay for your Los Cabo escape. It’s close enough to Cabo San Lucas to enjoy its nightlife and dining, but secluded enough to offer private beaches and serene sunsets. And there’s no better way to experience it all than with the stunning Palmilla villas that dot its coastline.

Dating back to the construction of the iconic Hotel Palmilla in 1956, Palmilla quickly became a Hollywood favorite for its exclusivity and landscapes. Over time, its reputation has only grown, particularly following the development of the Palmilla Golf Club in 1992 and the construction of the One&Only Resort in 2004.

Today, the area is also known for the distinctive Palmilla villas that entice travelers from around the world. These are some of the very best stays in Mexico, representing a new era of comfort and excitement.

Renting a luxury villa in Palmilla is easy with Rental Escapes. First, choose your travel dates. Next, select your party size. From there, your Rental Escapes Villa Specialist will happily present you with the best available Palmilla villas for your group. After, your Concierge customizes your trip, including transportation, chef service, excursions, boat charters, and more.
