FAQs

What makes the service at Villas Del Mar different? 

The community operates like a five-star hotel. Most homes include access to dedicated property managers and concierges who ensure the home is perfect before you arrive and maintained flawlessly while you are away.

Can I use the One&Only Palmilla facilities? 

Yes. While Villas Del Mar has its own private clubs (Club 96 and Club Espiritu), residents can also enjoy the restaurants and world-class spa at the adjacent One&Only Palmilla resort.

Is the beach really swimmable year-round? 

Yes. Palmilla Bay is protected, making it one of the few beaches in Cabo where it is safe to swim, snorkel, and paddleboard nearly 365 days a year.

How is the security handled? 

Villas Del Mar features a double-gate system. You must first pass through the main Palmilla gate and then a second, private Villas Del Mar security point. It is widely considered the most secure community in Mexico.

Are there any new construction opportunities? 

While the community is largely established, there are occasionally luxury renovations or rare "lot-only" opportunities that come to market, though they are highly coveted.
