A Golf Master-Planned Community

The legendary Palmilla hotel was originally built in 1956 as an elite hideaway for political figures, international celebrities and Hollywood stars. In 2004, the hotel was renovated and renamed to “One and Only Palmilla” and was selected as the number one resort in its category by the readers of Conde Nast’s Traveler in 2004 and 2005. A lush tropical landscape, water features and the sea surround this authentic hacienda-style resort. Additional amenities include tennis courts, fitness center and two large swimming pools.

Within this 1,000-acre master golf development, you can find individual family homes, custom homesites, beachfront villas, and luxurious town houses in authentic hacienda and Tuscany style architecture with lush tropical gardens and a well known 27-hole Palmilla signature golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. The master plan subdivides into several high-end communities. Amongs them are Palmilla Fairways, Caleta and Caleta Loma, Palmilla Norte and Sur, Oceano Alta and Baja, Palmilla Canyon, Cove and Estates, Villad de Montana and Villas del Mar.

Built along the golf course are the beautifully appointed Villas del Oro luxury townhouses. Villa amenities include granite counter tops, marble floors, Jacuzzi tubs, stainless steel appliances and more. Owners can enjoy a new village shopping center, the shops of Palmilla within walking distance, fine dining and entertainment, and world-class amenities of the One and Only Palmilla hotel. In the near future, there will be a deluxe, 9,000-square-foot private tennis club offering five lit tennis courts, a sunken auditorium that can accommodate 150 spectators, a retail shop, a resort-style swimming pool, a fitness center and changing rooms.

The One and Only Palmilla resort is sprawling along the Sea of Cortez shore line, accomodating 109 guests, ranging from oversized standard rooms to one- and two-bedroom suites. The interiors and exteriors are quite amazing- featuring ocean views, private terraces, large marble bathrooms, double-headed showers, sculptures tub, etc.
