Surrounded by six kilometres of powder-white beaches, each day
promises a new secluded spot to discover together. When you’ve
soaked up enough sun, the sparkling Indian Ocean provides an
endless source of excitement, from diving in vibrant coral reefs, to
thrilling water sports, and authentic sailing excursions.

Let your cares drift away with a blissful couple’s spa treatment, set
above the water for a uniquely soothing experience. Be enthused
every meal time, as you enjoy breathtaking vistas and savour
worldclass cuisine in your choice of seven distinctive restaurants.
From floodlit tennis courts, to yoga, this tranquil oasis cannot fail

FRESCOBOL CARIOCA

The inspiration behind Frescobol Carioca came about several years ago on a friends’ surfing holiday in the South of
France. Two friends decided to spend some time playing frescobol, a game they had discovered on the beaches of Rio.
The fun beach vibe was catchy and soon everyone around joined in on the Carioca fun. The excitement around the
game set off the idea of bringing the laid-back and cool Rio lifestyle to beaches and people all over the world.

Over time, the handles were shortened and painted or varnished to better protect them from water and salt.

Until 1976 the Frescobol was played with peeled tennis balls; thereafter, imported racketball balls began to be used.

Frescobol Carioca’s iconic Beach Bats were the first item to be launched in 2009, and were the spark behind a whole
range of Luxury Menswear and Beach Accessories, inspired by Rio and its vibrant residents, the Cariocas. The brand
is inspired by the curves of the landscape, the mosaic artwork of Roberto Burle Marx and the samba of Tom Jobim. Its
trademark Copacabana and Ipanema prints led to a whole series of designs based on famous Brazilian sidewalks.

Getting the required amount of Vitamin
Sea is important for making unforgettable
memories and a healthy dose of Vitamin
D is essential for building strong bones;
but no matter how gorgeous a sprinkling
of freckles might look, it’s vital that your
children stay safe in the sun.

are all created using a premium Italian
fabric that provides 50+ UPF (UV
Protection Factor) defence against 97%
of the sun’s harmful rays. This luxurious
fabric comes in a range of bespoke Sunuva
prints, which means keeping your island
adventurers safe in the sun no longer
means a compromise on design.

Sun safety is a high priority at Sunuva
because after all, the protection of delicate
skin from overexposure is the main reason
the brand was born. The collection of
gorgeous kids’ swimwear has secured a
glowing endorsement from the British Skin
Foundation and we know this validation
will mean as much to you as it does to us.

                                 Did you know that garnet is one of the oldest gemstones in human
                                 history, dating back to the Bronze Age? Or that garnet is considered
                                 a gift of eternal love? Garnet has been known as a gift of love since
                                 the time of the ancient Greeks. A pair of garnet earrings are an
                                 excellent gift for an anniversary.

                                 Garnet is found in a dizzying range of colours, including orange,
                                 yellow, green, purple, blue, black, pink and colourless. But by far the

                                 alone, we are talking about a red garnet. A hard and relatively
                                 durable gemstone, garnet is suitable for use in all types of jewellery.

                                 One of the most notable characteristics of this stone is its ability to
                                 heal and purify. It can promote strong and lasting relationships, and
                                 it can help you fill your life with passion and inspiration.

                                 Found in many parts of the world, including Brazil, India,
                                 Madagascar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United States and Tanzania,

                                 the spotlight they truly deserve. Every jewel is handmade by a team

Colour is the key feature to Hogan’s work which is inspired
by the marine life of the reef. Of his unique, yet distinctively
recognizable style of painting, he jokingly comments, “I was
driven to abstraction there were enough artists painting ‘well-
behaved’ landscapes and marine images without me adding
to the list. Rather, I feel I contribute to a contemporary slant
through my depiction of these macro images. In essence, I
reduce simple images to a series of spots and stripes.”
The resultant compositions are striking paintings that invite
multiple interpretations from the viewer.

of a guest’s villa. For inspiration, participants are encouraged

Set in lush tropical gardens where pristine desert sands meet rolling seas,
at One&Only Palmilla the world stops spinning and time stands still. Let
your personal butler lead you into your beautifully crafted space, as you
surrender to our intuitive service, thoughtful little touches and warmth at
every turn.

Awake to the dawn sun as it rises above ocean horizons. The eternal
rhythm of breaking waves and light sea breezes in swaying palms
entice onto your private terrace. Retreat into the rich comfort of
your contemporary hacienda-style space, in muted hues with vibrant
highlights. More than mere backdrop, this is your home as long as you
choose to linger.

Whether you’re strolling to a romantic sunset dinner, laughing with
friends, cocktail in hand, or dining in private, our restaurants, bars and
terraces offer magical experiences infused with the warmth of Mexican
hospitality. Memorable dishes are an act of alchemy and our renowned
chefs transform the finest local produce into some of the most delightful
cuisine in Los Cabos.
