Here at The Cabo Sun, we’ve seen our fair share of stunning resorts.

But let us tell you—there’s only one spot in all of Los Cabos that’s snagged the coveted Star Diamond Award, and we’re not the least bit surprised it’s One&Only Palmilla. This place doesn’t just do luxury—it defines it.

So, what makes it shine brighter than the rest? Let’s spill the margarita salt.

Welcome to the Legend

You roll up to a sun-soaked Baja sanctuary where turquoise waters meet golden beaches and every palm tree seems to whisper, “Relax, you’re in paradise now…”

That’s One&Only Palmilla.

With sprawling suites, chic villas, and your own butler ready to handle everything from dinner reservations to unpacking your suitcase, you’re not just checking in—you’re stepping into Cabo royalty.

Why This Resort Has the Star Power

Not just anyone gets a Star Diamond Award.

This is top-tier recognition handed out only to properties that deliver the kind of service you can’t stop bragging about when you get home. Here’s why Palmilla stands alone:

• Foodie Heaven: Five on-site restaurants mean your taste buds are on a permanent vacation. Whether it’s Michelin-starred steaks at SEARED, oceanfront Baja bites at Agua, or sushi that tastes like Tokyo’s finest at Hoshi and Suviche—you’ll be eating very well. Even a casual poolside snack feels gourmet.
• Spa Bliss: Need to reset? The One&Only Spa has you covered with Mayan-inspired rituals, holistic therapy, and massages that melt every ounce of stress away. Bonus: an infinity pool that stares out over the Sea of Cortez like a postcard come to life.
• Adventure, Cabo-Style: Surf lessons? Check. Horseback rides on pristine beaches? Absolutely. Sailing and golf lessons? Of course. You can go full-throttle or keep it chill—it’s your call.
• Total Privacy: Private oceanside cabanas mean you can sip your cocktail in peace while the world drifts away.

Dining That Deserves Its Own Round of Applause

Even if you never leave your table (tempting), this place could win awards on food alone. SEARED by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten? Pure culinary theater.

From premium cuts to locally sourced dishes that capture Baja’s essence, every meal feels like a celebration. And yes—you’ll probably end up taking way too many food photos. We’ve all been there.

It’s Not Just a Stay, It’s a Story

One&Only Palmilla doesn’t just hand you a room key; it hands you experiences you’ll never forget. Sunrise yoga overlooking the ocean? Check.

Sunset cocktails with your toes in the sand? Double check. This is the kind of getaway where you actually feel like you’re living in a luxury travel magazine.

Who This Resort Is Perfect For

This isn’t just any luxury resort—it’s designed for travelers who want more than just a vacation.

If you’re a honeymooner craving romance, this is your paradise. If you’re a foodie looking to indulge, Palmilla’s dining scene is your playground.

Wellness seekers can reset with spa rituals and holistic therapies, while adventure junkies have a full menu of water sports, golf, and horseback riding at their fingertips.

And yes, it’s also an excellent choice for families wanting a high-end, stress-free escape where everyone—from kids to grandparents—feels pampered.

Rate Watch

We know what you’re thinking—how much does this slice of heaven cost? Rates change with the seasons, so your best bet is to check One&Only Palmilla’s website for the latest offers (and maybe start daydreaming while you’re at it).

The Only Star Diamond Winner in Cabo

With so many luxury resorts dotting Cabo’s coast, standing out isn’t easy. Yet One&Only Palmilla is the only one to snag the Star Diamond Award.

That’s not just an accolade—it’s a promise that when you stay here, you’re getting the kind of world-class service most travelers only dream about.

So if you’ve been hunting for the ultimate Cabo escape—this is it.

We at The Cabo Sun say pack your flip-flops, bring your appetite, and prepare to be treated like Cabo royalty.
