Something else? An easy call to the concierge and it is done. A butler is on hand for the welcoming and on the spot to handle arising wishes and needs.

That includes spa treatments – often a treat saved for just such times when it is possible to enjoy and immerse rather than have to run off to feed the meter and meet another obligation.

Or head to adjacent One&Only Palmilla taking the villa’s resident golf cart to the destination that is about two minutes away, for a session of hands-on smoothing.

 On quiet nights, a night out might be in line and the quaint art town of San Jose del Cabo, only ten minutes away, makes the perfect place to explore. The town has become a magnet for some of Mexico’s top-up and coming chefs and remains a fun place to browse amid a robust and unusual collection of notion shops.
