Known for its breathtaking views of the Sea of Cortez and boundless opportunities to quench guests’ wanderlust, Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto has been nominated again this year in the Mexico’s Leading Beach Resort category, a top honor that it took home last year after competing against CUIXMALA, Rosewood Mayakobá in Riviera Maya, The Resort at Pedregal and The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort.

The newest additions to the resort range from a 7,400-yard Rees Jones-designed Danzante Bay Golf Course, to LED paddle boards for nighttime stand up paddle board sessions in the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez, offering guests even more reasons to fall in love with Loreto.
