Jessica Alba Spotted Vacationing In Cabo’s One&Only Palmilla

Share The Article

If you ever needed proof that Los Cabos is still the celebrity reset button, here it is: Jessica Alba and actor Danny Ramirez were photographed packing on the PDA during a beach getaway in Los Cabos this weekend.

And while the internet is (predictably) focusing on the romance, we at The Cabo Sun are looking at the bigger takeaway for travelers: when stars want sun, privacy, and A+ service without a circus, they tend to pick the Palmilla stretch of the Tourist Corridor, where One&Only Palmilla has been quietly setting the “ultra-luxury” standard for years. (It’s also the only Los Cabos resort we’ve covered that holds the Star Diamond Award.)

What’s being reported (and what that means for travelers)

According to Page Six, Alba and Ramirez were photographed kissing, sunbathing, and strolling hand-in-hand on a Los Cabos beach. The same report notes the two have been romantically linked since mid-2025, and this Cabo trip is the latest in a string of public outings.

For travelers, the interesting part is where this kind of “laid-back-but-luxury” vacation typically happens in Cabo. Palmilla is known for being polished, quiet, and a little more “private villa energy” than “spring break chaos,” which makes it an obvious choice for anyone who wants to disappear for a few days (famous or not).

Why One&Only Palmilla is a celebrity magnet

Let’s be real: Cabo has no shortage of gorgeous resorts. But One&Only Palmilla has a specific recipe that keeps it near the top of the list for big-name getaways.

1) A quick airport-to-margarita timeline

One&Only Palmilla is about a 17-mile drive from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), and the resort says the trip takes around 20 minutes. That’s a big deal if you’re trying to maximize beach time and minimize logistics.

2) Dining that’s a destination all by itself

Forbes Travel Guide highlights that the resort has five restaurants and bars, including SEARED by Jean-Georges Vongerichten. On the official side, One&Only spotlights signature venues like Agua (Baja-inspired cuisine with ocean views) and SEARED (their woodfire grill concept).

3) A “hideaway” feel without being isolated

Palmilla sits close enough to San José del Cabo for easy dinners and exploring, but far enough from the louder pockets that it still feels calm. It’s that sweet spot that makes the Corridor so appealing.

4) The spa is serious

Forbes Travel Guide’s spa coverage notes the One&Only Spa at Palmilla is 20,000 square feet, with private spa villas and a treatment menu that leans into Mexican healing traditions and destination-specific rituals.

The underrated Palmilla perk: a swimmable beach vibe

A lot of Cabo first-timers don’t realize this until they show up: not every beach here is meant for casual swimming every day. That’s why Palmilla stands out.

The official tourism site Visit Los Cabos describes Palmilla Beach as a protected-cove style beach that draws visitors for safe swimming, and it specifically references Blue Flag swimmable beaches in the area. (Translation: it’s one of those spots where the water can actually match the postcard.)

If you’re the type of traveler who wants to get in the ocean, not just photograph it, Palmilla is worth putting on your shortlist.

Want the “Palmilla experience” without the One&Only price tag?

You don’t need a celebrity budget to steal a few pages from the Palmilla playbook. Here’s how:

• Book earlier than you think you need to. Cabo is running hot right now, and when occupancy spikes, prices and availability move fast. (We’ve been tracking the winter crunch already.)
• Pick the right “energy level” of resort. If your dream trip is quiet and romantic, avoid accidentally booking a party-forward adults-only scene. Our breakdown of what “adults-only” really means in Cabo can save you from a vibe mismatch.
• Make Palmilla your “home base” area, even if you stay nearby. You can still spend beach days in the Corridor, explore San José del Cabo, and build a high-end itinerary without being locked into one flagship property.
• And if you are aiming for a special-occasion splurge, it’s worth knowing One&Only Palmilla has also been recognized as a romance heavyweight in Cabo, including our coverage of its World Travel Awards win as Mexico’s “Most Romantic Resort.”

A quick etiquette note if you spot a celeb in Cabo

This sounds obvious, but Cabo works as a celebrity hideout because most people here are chill about it. If you ever spot someone famous at your resort or on the beach: keep your distance, don’t photograph strangers up close, and let everyone enjoy the vacation. The best Cabo flex is acting like you’ve been here before.
