Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa Cabo San Lucas is taking a bold step toward the future with a remarkable transformation set to debut in October 2025. Far beyond mere upgrades, the renovation includes reimagined pools, revitalized entertainment spaces, and renewed culinary destinations—reaffirming a longstanding commitment to delivering extraordinary vacation experiences for both today’s travelers and for generations to come.
Coupled with recent enhancements across the resort’s sister properties, this evolution aligns with The Villa Group’s long-term vision of redefining excellence in Mexican hospitality. It also reflects a unified mission of continually investing in innovation while honoring the authentic natural beauty and soul of each distinct destination.
“This project is dynamic, inspiring, and rooted in the evolving desires of our guests. It symbolizes what we believe hospitality should be … not only a place to stay, but a canvas for unforgettable memories,” said Cesar Madera, CEO of The Villa Group Resorts. “We are elevating every part of the journey, whether it’s families making memories by the pool, couples savoring a romantic sunset dinner, or friends escaping to reconnect and explore.”
These extensive renovations come at a time when the all-inclusive resort model, which has long been championed by The Villa Group, is seeing a major resurgence. Once largely considered a value-first option, it’s now attracting broader audiences who appreciate the stress-free planning and options for a wide range of experiences built into their stay.
2024 Transformations
The renewal of Villa del Palmar began in 2024 with an array of enhancements designed to elevate the guest experience. A bright and welcoming new lobby sets the tone from the moment of arrival, while the open-air Tortugas Terrace and high-energy Sports Bar offer lively spaces to gather, dine, and celebrate. The farm to table dining concept of Tomatillos brings fresh, local flavors to life in a relaxed, al fresco setting.
RENOVATION HIGHLIGHTS
Pools & Family Zones
Newly expanded pool areas are at the heart of the Villa del Palmar transformation. Designed to suit travelers of every type, enhancements include larger, more inviting
pools, additional hot tubs for soaking under the sun, and a new fire pit perfect for casual gatherings and evening cocktails thanks to stylish lounge seating and luxurious daybeds. A fully reimagined children’s pool and splash zones create playful spaces for families, while adults-only areas framed by palm trees and provide tranquil places to relax and unwind.
Bella California Restaurant
Inspired by the flavors of Italy and reflecting the vibrant spirit of Cabo, the completely rebuilt Bella California delivers a fresh, modern experience and iconic oceanfront views of El Arco’s rock formation. Fusing authentic Italian cuisine with Baja ingredients, the restaurant’s new culinary concept features handmade pastas, wood-fired pizzas, artisanal desserts, and immersive show-cooking stations—all in a romantic, sophisticated setting with an elegant, updated design.
Carbón Grill
The resort’s beloved Argentine-style steakhouse, Carbón Grill, returns with a fresh look and culinary focus featuring bold Latin flavors, premium meats, just-caught seafood and plant-based dishes. A thoughtfully curated wine list pairs perfectly with the elevated menu and refined open-air ambiance.
Taco Bar
This versatile venue evolves into a dual culinary experience where guests can enjoy authentic tacos, sushi and handcrafted margaritas. Refreshed with new finishes and buffet stations, the Taco Bar captures Cabo’s laid-back energy with flair and flavor.
These new offerings laid the foundation for the resort’s bold evolution; one rooted in connection, creativity, and a future-focused vision of hospitality.
ARTISTRY MEETS AUTHENTICITY
Incorporating handcrafted details from regional artisans allowed Villa del Palmar to revitalize its aesthetic while reinforcing its sense of community. Every element, from traditional pottery and carved woodwork to handblown glass lighting and wrought-iron accents, tells a story of place and purpose.
Until the finishing touches of this reimagination are complete in October, Villa del Palmar will honored reservations in sister properties Villa del Arco and Villa La Valencia, which deliver elevated resort experiences just minutes away.
