At the pinnacle of the Mexican hotel market lies One&Only Palmilla in Baja California, a favourite of West Coast playboys and moneyed surfers alike.
The resort has 172 authentically styled apartments and suites (all with ocean views), endless dining facilities and an impressive spa to cater to your every whim.
Swap stories over a cocktail or two while floating by the in-water pool bar, try a round of golf on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course nearby, or perhaps sample some of chef Charlie Trotter’s ‘spa cuisine’ – it won’t fill you up, but may make you feel marginally better about that next round of beachside guacamole.
To finish the holiday on a real high, why not get a group together for a ride to the airport in one of the resort’s golden Hummers? Perhaps not the most inconspicuous of vehicles admittedly, but at least you have the option of the dirt road if the traffic is bad.
