One&Only Palmilla is preparing for a celebration of epic proportions for this year’s Fourth of July. The luxury Los Cabos resort has revealed a long list of exclusive experiences from dinners with Michelin-starred chefs to a grand evening of feasting and fireworks.
The original Los Cabos resort has seen its fair share of Independence Day celebrations, but this year it is looking to make up for the missed opportunities of 2020. The experiences have been expertly curated to blend American style with Mexican spirit. Here, we pick out our favorite events.
