The hotel at Palmilla first opened in 1956.  Reachable only by private plane, it fast became the premier destination for Hollywood actors and other wealthy travelers seeking an exclusive getaway.  One & Only Resorts acquired the hotel in 2002 and after $90 million dollars of major renovations - the ultimate in luxury - the One & Only Palmilla was opened in 2004. The hotel features classic Mexican design, with white walls and red-tile roofs.  Traditional hacienda-style grandeur is complimented by all the amenities of a modern high-end resort.  The 172 rooms include 111 exclusive suites – all with spectacular vistas of the Sea of Cortez. 
 

 The One & Only hotel stretches around Punta Palmilla, one of the most beautiful oceanfront areas in Los Cabos.  Walk along the soft-sand beaches, swim in the calm waters of Palmilla cove, catch a glimpse of a giant whale breaching the water’s surface, or witness the breathtaking sunsets over the azure waves.  Opposite from the Sea, the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains stretch across the tip of the Baja, filled with beautiful desert flora.  One & Only Palmilla offers guests the opportunity to explore the beauty of the Baja through various excursions.  Experience the magic of the desert on a chauffeured Hummer tour, horseback ride along the pristine coastline, enjoy a picnic in a secluded cove, or explore the majesty of the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez aboard the resort’s luxurious 50-foot yacht.  One & Only Palmilla is pure elegance and luxury amidst the unrivaled natural beauty of Los Cabos.
