Overview

One&Only Palmilla is pure romantic energy — refined, intimate, and effortlessly luxurious. Perched above the Sea of Cortez with swaying palms and soft ocean light, it balances barefoot relaxation with attentive, personalized service. This is a place where time slows down: breakfast on the terrace, easy swims in warm water, laughter that lingers into the evening. Couples come here to reconnect — without ever needing to try.

  • Best time to visit: November through May for ideal weather with warm, sunny days and cool evenings.
  • What to pack: Light resort wear, golf attire, swimwear, sunscreen, elegant evening wear, and a light jacket for breezy nights.

Where to Stay

Rooms and suites feature breezy coastal design, deep soaking tubs, spacious terraces, and outdoor living spaces that blur seamlessly into sea and sky. Many come with private plunge pools and direct ocean views. Your dedicated butler arranges everything — from dinner reservations to private beach setups to late-night champagne deliveries. Every detail is subtle, thoughtful, and deeply romantic.

Golf

The Jack Nicklaus-designed Palmilla Golf Club offers sweeping ocean views, dramatic elevation changes, and fairways carved into desert canyons. It's scenic without being intimidating, playable yet strategic, and stunning from the first tee to the final putt.

Sunrise tee times are unreal here — golden light across the desert hills, quiet greens, and warm ocean wind. Whether your partner plays seriously or casually, the atmosphere is pure joy.

Day Spa

The One&Only Spa is a sanctuary wrapped in lush gardens and courtyards. Think warm stone massages, botanical body treatments, and outdoor therapy suites where the air moves softly through palm leaves. If one partner golfs, the other can drift between steam rooms, vitality pools, private napping terraces, and herbal tea rituals.

Couples' treatments are a highlight — slow, soothing, unhurried. It's the kind of experience that dissolves tension and brings you back to each other.

Dining

Dining at Palmilla is refined but never pretentious. Fresh seafood, wood-grilled meats, handmade tortillas, and just-caught ceviche are the stars. Sundown dinners feel cinematic — glowing lanterns, ocean hush, warm night air, and cocktails infused with local citrus. Private dining on your terrace or beach is always an option — and always romantic.

Nearby Attractions & Activities

Beyond the fairways and spa, Los Cabos offers an array of adventures for couples who crave discovery as much as downtime:

  • San José del Cabo Art Walk: Charming streets, galleries, music, wine tastings — a cultural evening under the stars.
  • Whale Watching (Seasonal): Gentle giants breaching in the bay — an unforgettable shared experience.
  • Private Sailing & Snorkeling: Quiet coves and warm, clear water perfect for intimate exploration.
  • Los Cabos Desert Hikes: Wide horizons and canyon-wind stillness for those seeking adventure.

But honestly — most couples stay on property. It's that good.
