Villa del Palmar Loreto Recognized as Mexico and Central America’s Leading Resort and Mexico’s Leading Beach Resort Last year, Villa del Palmar Loreto was recognized as Mexico’s Leading Beach Resort—a title the resort is taking home two years in a row.

Awards are presented across three tiers – country, regional and world awards – and are voted on by the public, as well as qualified executives in the tourism industry. This year, Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto has been awarded at both the regional and country level.
