Villa del Palmar Beach Resort and Spa Opens at the Islands of Loreto in Baja Sur, Mexico

LORETO, Mexico - May 18, 2011 - Pristine beaches and eco-tourism adventures await travelers at the new Villa del Palmar Beach Resort and Spa at the Islands of Loreto. Located in Baja California South, the resort offers 181 spacious suites (studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom villas as well as an Ambassador Suite, Royal Suite and Presidential four-bedroom Suites) with views of the sparkling Sea of Cortez. Future developments include tennis courts and a 35,000 square-foot state-of-the-art fitness center and spa, which will open this summer.

Loreto was named the number eight destination to visit in a recent New York Times "Where to Go in 2011" article. Just a 90-minute flight from Los Angeles, Calif., this ecological wonderland is home to one of the world's largest marine parks and the oldest colonial town on the peninsula.

The resort faces Danzante Island and is surrounded by the majestic Sierra de la Giganta Mountains. With the calm waters of the Sea of Cortez, a unique turtle-shaped pool and the largest Jacuzzi in the entire Baja California South, Villa del Palmar Beach Resort and Spa at the Islands of Loreto offers a variety of water activities including snorkeling, kayaking and scuba diving. The resort also offers ecological activities such as mountain hiking, climbing, camping and much more in the Bay of Loreto, home to close to 900 species of reef-dwelling and migratory fish.

"Loreto is one of Mexico's most incredible hidden gems," said Villa Group Resort partner Luz Maria Torres. "We're elated to open Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto and welcome travelers to such a magical place."

Villa del Palmar is the only five-star resort in the area and the first property in the Villa Group Resort's planned 1,800-acre development in Loreto, "Danzante Bay," which will include seven resort hotels, 240 home sites, additional restaurants and a Rees Jones golf course.
