LORETO, Baja California Sur, Mexico (July 23, 2019) — Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa at The Islands of Loreto is celebrating Mexican Independence Day with a near week-long gastronomical experience highlighted by exotic dinners, tastings, and poolside cooking demonstrations. The resort’s “Celebrate the Mexican Independence” five-night package begins Sunday, Sept. 15, with check-out on Friday, Sept. 20. 

Priced at $759 USD per person (based on double occupancy), the package includes:

• Five-night stay in a Deluxe Suite

The 4,447-acre resort sits on a sprawling stretch of white-sand beach along Danzante Bay, where the natural habitat includes 900 species of fish. Between meals, resort guests can enjoy championship golf at TPC Danzante Bay, world-class fishing, snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, tennis and hiking. The luxurious Sabila Spa and Wellness Center pampers guests with treatments that gain their inspiration from the soothing plant and herbal extracts native to the Baja California region.
