Flanked by the rugged Sierra de La Giganta Mountains and the Sea of Cortez, Villa del Palmar at The Islands of Loreto occupies a sprawling stretch of quiet beaches, scenic vistas, and astounding natural habitat. While the resort reflects the historic culture of Mexico, guests have access to every modern amenity and convenience—including Sabila Spa, named one of Mexico’s Best Spas by SpaFinder—as well as unparalleled personal service.
The centerpiece of this premier golf destination is TPC Danzante Bay, part of a luxury master-planned community adjacent to the coastline of Baja’s inland marine sanctuary. The golf course offers five sets of tees, ranging between 4,916 and 7,237 yards. It features wide fairways and greens that must be carefully judged but are never unfair. Most of the entrances to the greens are open—allowing approach shots to run on safely—while the holes along the cliffs feature strategically placed collection areas to keep errant shots from taking the plunge into the blue water below. The golf course has previously been recognized by Golf Advisor as Best of 2018: Mexico, by Golf Aficionado as 2018 Best New Golf Course and by Golf Odyssey as 2018 New Course of the Year.
Award-winners will appear in Golf Digest’s June print issue and all award-winners will be featured on GolfDigest.com.
