"Arriving at this spot on the very tip of the Baja Peninsula feels like coming home, with many third-generation staff who remember not only your name but whether you prefer your margarita made with tequila or mezcal (and which brand), and where you like your yoga mat set up in your room. Whitewashed hacienda-style rooms are brightened with hand-embroidered textiles and perks such as private butlers, and Villa Cortez ups the ante with an exclusive fitness suite, spa room, and beach cabana. As the area’s first proper hotel, Palmilla has a serious advantage: a secluded location on one of Cabo’s only swimmable beaches that’s unbeatable, drawing Hollywood’s elite in the ’50s and a fresh generation of A-listers today. A commitment to discretion and timeless glamour, along with constant reinvention like new wellness offerings, keeps this Baja icon holding court." - Lissa Poirot
