The beaches at Palmilla are dramatically beautiful; the deep blue ocean fringed with white surf washes the fine white and powder soft sand. A wonderfully wide stretch of beach fronts the Vista pool and is scattered with inviting hammocks and comfortable loungers set beneath palapa shades.

This beach develops into a series of delightful coves nestled below the gardens and suites. Some of most secluded of these have been designated as locations for the "Private Cove Experience", whilst others are furnished with hammocks, from which you can watch the waves crash against the rocks, sending spray high into the air. As an added bonus, from December through March you can look out for the gray whales as they migrate down to calf in the warm waters of the Sea of Cortes.

Most of the coastline in this region is not suitable for swimming but Palmilla is blessed with a beautiful swimming beach at the Eastern border of the resort. It's one of the calmest bays on the Corridor and is also good for snorkeling, but caution is still required.

For the ultimate indulgence, reserve your own private cove for the day. You'll be allocated a secluded area with a four poster day bed (a comfortable king size bed suspended by rope beneath a sun shade), an over-water sun bed and a palapa-roofed dining area. The fee of around US$300 per day includes butler service and you can take lunch and dinner by the ocean if you wish. The butler will make sure that the area is kept private, just for you.
