VILLA DEL PALMAR
AT THE ISLANDS OF LORETO
Nestled on the serene eastern coast of the Baja California Peninsula, Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto stands as a beacon of luxury and natural splendor. Recently honored as the World’s Leading Family Resort at the 2023 World Travel Awards for the fourth consecutive year, this exclusive resort seamlessly blends opulent amenities with breathtaking surroundings.
The crown jewel of Villa del Palmar is undeniably TPC Danzante Bay, an exclusive golf course designed by the renowned Rees Jones. As Mexico’s only TPC golf course, it sets the stage for an unparalleled golfing experience along the shores of the Sea of Cortez and against the backdrop of Baja’s majestic Sierra de la Giganta mountain range. Recently earning the title of “Mexico’s Best Golf Course 2023,” TPC Danzante Bay solidifies its reputation as a premier destination for golf enthusiasts.
The par-72 beauty spans a landscape of coastline, valleys, arroyos, dunes, and foothills, offering a dynamic and visually stunning course. With five sets of tees ranging from 4,916 to 7,237 yards, TPC Danzante Bay caters to golfers of all skill levels. Its wide fairways and greens, meticulously designed by Jones, demand strategic precision while ensuring a fair and enjoyable challenge for players.
The course’s thoughtful design is accentuated by its location, featuring holes along the cliffs that provide panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez. Strategic collection areas along these cliffside holes add an extra layer of challenge, preventing errant shots from meeting the azure waters below. Most notably, the entrances to the greens are open, allowing approach shots to run on safely and ensuring a golfing experience that is both exciting and forgiving.
Beyond the greens, Villa del Palmar offers a wealth of amenities to enhance the overall guest experience. Four distinct dining options cater to diverse tastes, providing culinary delights ranging from casual poolside fare to sophisticated fine dining. The 39,000-sq ft spa beckons guests to unwind and rejuvenate in a tranquil setting, while five inviting pools offer the perfect spots for relaxation and recreation.
Accommodations at Villa del Palmar are equally exquisite, with 338 thoughtfully designed suites and penthouses. Each living space boasts panoramic views of either the Sea of Cortez or the resort’s lush surroundings, providing a luxurious and comfortable retreat.
In essence, Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto epitomizes the perfect fusion of natural beauty and upscale living. The accolade of World’s Leading Family Resort, combined with the allure of TPC Danzante Bay, including its recent recognition as “Mexico’s Best Golf Course 2023,” positions this destination as an unrivaled retreat for those seeking an extraordinary and unforgettable escape on the eastern coast of the Baja California Peninsula.
