This luxurious Baja Peninsula resort is one of the finest in the region. Among the many reasons for its superlative stature are accommodations decorated with handcrafted Mexican furnishings, a lavish wellness spa, a private yacht and a par-72 golf course — the first Jack Nicklaus course in Mexico. Nearly every hole at the Palmilla Golf Club has an ocean view, with fairways winding through striking desert landscapes. Divided into the Arroyo Nine, the Mountain Nine and the Ocean Nine, this 27-hole course features staggered tee boxes and impressive elevation changes, so that games are always interesting as well as challenging.
