About Palmilla

Original luxury corridor community, old-guard elegance, resort-caliber amenities, Jack Nicklaus golf, One&Only resort anchor

Palmilla is the founding luxury community of the Los Cabos Tourist Corridor and remains the gold standard that every subsequent development has tried to replicate. Anchored by the iconic One&Only Palmilla resort, this gated community spans multiple sub-neighborhoods offering everything from $790,000 entry-level lots to $25 million trophy estates. Its 27-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course, beach club, and 24/7 security create a resort-caliber living experience in a residential setting. The community has produced consistent appreciation for decades, supported by construction costs of $500-$1,000+ per square foot that create a natural value floor. Sub-communities like Palmilla Estates, Palmilla Dunes, Villas de Oro, and Villas del Mar offer distinct price tiers and architectural styles, giving buyers options at multiple levels of the luxury spectrum. Positioned on the Corridor highway midway between San Jose del Cabo (15 minutes) and Cabo San Lucas (20 minutes), Palmilla delivers unmatched convenience. The One&Only Palmilla resort provides five-star dining, spa services, and beach access that residents can enjoy year-round. For buyers seeking the safest blue-chip real estate investment in Los Cabos, Palmilla is the definitive answer.
