One & Only Palmilla can rightly claim to be Mexico's most discreet escape for a tryst. This bougainvillea-draped fortress on the tip of the Baja Peninsula caters to guests' every desire. Surrender to the luxury of having a private 24-hour butler who will (upon request) unpack your clothing so you can head to the pool for foot massages in a cabana bed, and understand why this retreat is whispered about by jetsetters and celebrities not wanting to share their hideaway.

One & Only Palmilla can rightly claim to be Mexico's most discreet escape for a tryst. This bougainvillea-draped fortress on the tip of the Baja Peninsula caters to guests' every desire. Surrender to the luxury of having a private 24-hour butler who will (upon request) unpack your clothing so you can head to the pool for foot massages in a cabana bed, and understand why this retreat is whispered about by jetsetters and celebrities not wanting to share their hideaway.

The 172 rooms and villas cajole you into lingering. Cozy up on your terrace daybed to watch whales breach below, while your butler keeps the tequila and fruit coming. Soak in a two-person bathtub as the melodies from a guitar trio drift up from the beach below. Listen to rustling palms from your hand-carved four-poster bed. Stargaze through your complimentary telescope.

When you need to come up for air, take a sunrise horseback ride on the white-sand beach or tee off along the shore. Parents will want to shoo the tykes off to the Kids Only program to make piñatas, while they meet their other half for a margarita at the swim-up bar. Or splurge on a Maya chocolate synergy massage in the luxe indoor/outdoor spa. Complete the day with a beachfront candlelit dinner at Jean Georges Vongerichten's Market Restaurant and a stroll beneath the stars.
