The One&Only Palmilla is actually one of several world-class resorts in Mexico's Los Cabos.
If there’s one best overall destination for your Mexico golf vacation, it’s Cabo San Lucas or Los Cabos, the resort area located at the tip of the Baja peninsula.
Los Cabos’ roster of top-flight courses includes Jack Nicklaus’ ElDorado, Tom Weiskopf’s Desert Course at Cabo del Sol, and the private (but playable) Tom Fazio-designed Querencia.
Then there’s the Ocean course at Cabo del Sol, also Nicklaus’ work, and virtually reason enough for taking a Mexico golf vacation in the first place.
There are also plenty of upscale hotels in Cabo San Lucas, including several at or near the Cabo Real and Cabo del Sol golf courses. We recommend One&Only Palmilla and Las Ventanas al Paraiso, two of our favorite hotels in the world, and can’t-miss options on a Mexico golf vacation.
Although fine dining options in Los Cabos are abundant and expensive, there are also plenty of casual, inexpensive and noteworthy restaurants. Stick to the local specialties, especially fish tacos, ceviche and other seafood dishes on your Mexico golf vacation.
November to May is the ideal time to visit Los Cabos, as it normally doesn’t rain and the average daytime temperature hovers around 78. Substantial discounts are available during the summer months, but the temperature gets significantly hotter. In either case, sunscreen is a must at at this latitude.
For most air travelers, Los Cabos International Airport (airport code: SJD) is the main point of entry; it is served by many major carriers from the West Coast and major hubs elsewhere.
