Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto is proud to announce that our on-site course, TPC Danzante Bay, has been named Latin America’s Best Golf Course 2026 by the World Golf Awards. Nestled between the Sierra de la Giganta and the Sea of Cortez, our resort offers direct access to this award-winning 18-hole championship course.
It is the fourth time TPC Danzante Bay has received this regional distinction. Chosen through votes from golf industry professionals, media and golfers around the world, the award gives us another reason to celebrate a course that has become an essential part of the Villa del Palmar experience.
Recognized Among Latin America’s Leading Golf Courses
The award carries even more meaning when you consider the field. TPC Danzante Bay was selected from 14 nominated courses representing 11 countries across Latin America.
Alongside TPC Danzante Bay, the nominees included Asuncion Golf Club in Paraguay; Barquisimeto Golf Club in Venezuela; Carmelo Golf Club in Uruguay; Chapelco Golf Club and Termas de Rio Hondo Golf Club in Argentina; Club de Golf Panamá in Panama; Hacienda Chicureo in Chile; Iguassu Falls Golf Club and Terravista Golf Course in Brazil; Pueblo Viejo Country Club in Colombia; Reserva Conchal Golf Club in Costa Rica; San Isidro in Peru; and Solmar Golf Links in Mexico.
This distinguished group brings valuable context to the recognition. TPC Danzante Bay stood alongside golf courses shaped by different landscapes and traditions throughout the region, making its fourth win an especially meaningful achievement for the golf team, the resort and Loreto.
An Award-Winning Course Within the Resort
One of the advantages of staying at Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto is having TPC Danzante Bay within the resort. The golf trolley takes guests from the hotel to the Pro Shop, where they can check in, pick up rental clubs if needed and warm up before their round.
Designed by Rees Jones, Mexico’s only TPC course features 18 holes, a par of 72 and five sets of tees. The layout begins among desert valleys and arroyos before climbing to elevated areas with views of the Sea of Cortez and the Islands of Loreto.
Hole 17 is the course’s most recognizable view. This par 3 plays from an elevated tee toward a green set on a rocky peninsula, but the experience extends well beyond a single hole. Wind, elevation changes and the variety of the landscape make each part of the round feel different.
After playing, guests can return to the resort for lunch, relax by the pool or spend the afternoon at Sábila Spa, without arranging any additional transportation.
A Golf Getaway With Room for More
Not everyone traveling together needs to play golf.
While one guest spends the morning at TPC Danzante Bay, a partner or family member can visit Sábila Spa, relax by the pool or enjoy an activity at the resort. Later, everyone can meet for lunch, head out on the water or enjoy dinner together.
Loreto also makes it easy to build a trip around more than the course. Depending on the season, guests can add an island excursion, snorkeling, fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking or whale watching. The result is a golf getaway that still feels like a shared vacation.
Golfers who want another look at the course can play a second round. Familiarity changes the experience: landing areas become clearer, approach angles make more sense and the wind may introduce a completely different set of decisions.
What This Fourth Award Means to Us
The World Golf Awards recognize excellence in golf tourism through votes from industry professionals, media and golfers worldwide. Receiving Latin America’s Best Golf Course for a fourth time reflects years of work by the teams who care for the course and welcome each player.
It also reflects the guests and golfers who return to Loreto, recommend the experience and share their memories of TPC Danzante Bay.
We are grateful for that support. This award belongs to the golf team, the resort team and everyone who has made the journey to Danzante Bay.
