Overview
One&Only Palmilla rests on the tip of the Baja Peninsula where the azure ocean greets the mountainous desert terrain. The intimate resort was founded in 1956 by Don Abelardo Rodriguez, son of General Abelardo Rodriguez the interim president of Mexico, and has been a favorite retreat for the likes of Hemingway and Harlow. Following a $80 million investment in 2004, One&Only Palmilla began a new era as the quintessential embodiment of elegance. One&Only Palmilla is situated on a 250-acre portion of a 900-acre, master-planned community that includes a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus signature golf course and one of the few swimmable beaches in the destination. The resort features casually elegant accommodations, all with ocean views; a full-service spa with 13 private treatment villas, fitness center and salon; an executive conference center; two infinity-edge pools; a children’s pool and play area; and a quaint chapel overlooking the tropical grounds. Service at One&Only Palmilla is unparalleled yet completely unobtrusive. Butler service is provided to all rooms, with dedicated butlers assigned to each of the suites. All guests receive a tequila welcome amenity, daily fresh fruit display and twice-daily maid service.
