I know it’s summer — the sun is high, and the days are long — but I can’t help thinking ahead to fall. As someone who plans everything with intention, I’ve already got Thanksgiving on my mind.
Thanksgiving has a special place in my heart. I love how it slows the world down and allows us to focus on what truly matters: gratitude, connection, and presence. For me, it’s not just about a beautifully golden turkey (though that’s always a highlight) — it’s about creating moments that last a lifetime.
I’m Emmy, your Palmilla lifestyle insider. If you're thinking about spending Thanksgiving somewhere special this year, there’s no better place than Del Mar Los Cabos. Here, you’ll trade sweaters for sunshine and traffic for sea views. A Del Mar villa wraps you in barefoot luxury, like your favorite cashmere throw — relaxed, refined, and full of heart.
Thanksgiving at home has its charm — packed kitchens, full hearts, and nostalgic traditions. But after hosting my first holiday at Del Mar, I discovered a new way to celebrate. Here, the holiday becomes both elevated and effortless.
Even though you still need to travel, the moment you arrive in Los Cabos, everything shifts. Instead of navigating airports in a frenzy, you're stepping into serene luxury, where the air is warmer, the pace is slower, and every detail is handled with care.
A Del Mar villa offers the best of both worlds: ample space and privacy to unwind, combined with elegance and ease for hosting unforgettable gatherings. Whether you're planning an intimate Thanksgiving dinner or a large family reunion, it's all possible with the support of Del Mar’s expert team. Private chefs, in-villa mixologists, custom décor, and seamless concierge services make any celebration — or even a quiet escape — feel like something out of a dream.
And with Thanksgiving being a popular time in Los Cabos, early planning makes all the difference. Booking in the summer ensures access to the finest properties and personalized services before they’re reserved. Whether you’re planning a traditional feast or simply want to soak in the vibrant Del Mar community, now’s the time to start.
From swimmable beaches to world-class amenities, Palmilla is designed for joy. Mornings start with espresso on your terrace, followed by dips in the Sea of Cortez. We call it barefoot luxury for a reason.
Whether you're indulging in spa treatments, teeing off on championship greens, or enjoying al fresco dining beneath a canopy of stars, every experience at Del Mar is curated to elevate your stay. Fall marks the beginning of Cabo’s high season — a time when the community truly comes alive with vibrant local events, an influx of seasonal energy, and cooler, more comfortable weather. It’s a season full of opportunity — to connect, to celebrate, and to make the most of each moment in a place that feels like home.
Villas Del Mar has long set the standard for resort living in Los Cabos. When helping friends find their perfect holiday villa, I always suggest thinking beyond just bedroom count or square footage, and instead imagining the entire experience.
