SUSTAINABILITY AT ONE&ONLY PALMILLA

Baja's living sanctuary

One&Only Palmilla is a custodian of life in motion. A tribute to Baja’s migratory wonders, marine guardianship and desert-ocean harmony. It is a sanctuary on the migratory routes of whales, turtles, birds – and people seeking reconnection. 

Our commitment

We have a commitment to redefining luxury through purpose-led experiences that celebrate culture, protect the environment and uplift the communities we call home.  

PRESERVING NATURAL ECOSYSTEMS

Whale watching experience

From December to April, guests witness humpback, grey and blue whales migrating along Cabo’s coastline. Through responsible whale-watching excursions and shoreline viewing, guests witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon while learning about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems.

CUSTODIANS OF THE SEA OF CORTEZ

Sea turtle protection

From August to September, Turtle Beach is a protected nesting site for endangered sea turtles. Eggs are monitored for safe incubation before hatchlings are returned to the shoreline. Through KidsOnly, young guests learn about marine conservation and the turtles’ life cycle.
