Originally built in 1956 for the son of a Mexican president, the estate is seeped in old world charm. This combines with modern bustle from the 2004 expansion, which saw One&Only expertly add its own luxurious spin. With one of few swimmable beaches in Los Cabos also nearby, this is a top contender that comes highly recommended.
