Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto Partners with Pleasant Holidays to Offer Guests an Incredible Baja Experience
Islands of Loreto, Baja, Mexico (PRWEB) November 27, 2013 -- Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, the newest member of Villa Group Resorts, today announced its partnership with Pleasant Holidays, one of the largest providers of vacation packages in the United States. The travel company began promoting special four-night packages at the resort earlier this week.
Pleasant Holidays guests can now experience the best of the Islands of Loreto and Villa del Palmar, including taking in unprecedented views through the resort’s new collection of glass-bottomed kayaks. These excursions give guests an amazing glimpse into what Jacques Cousteau referred to as “the world’s aquarium.” Guests also can enjoy half- or full-day tours on Mad Dash, the resort’s new sportfishing boat; take SCUBA lessons, or enjoy pampering at the resort’s luxurious Sabila Spa.
“We are pleased to offer Villa Del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto,” said Jack E. Richards, President and CEO of Pleasant Holidays. “Set in a truly magical place, this family-friendly resort offers travelers an unforgettable vacation experience.”
Just a two-hour flight from Los Angeles, both Alaska Airlines and Aeromexico offer convenient service to Loreto.
“Having Pleasant Holidays as a partner to introduce guests to the Baja and at the Islands of Loreto is fantastic,” said Owen Perry, owner and president of Villa Group. “Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto provides the perfect mix of beauty, serenity, culture and unparalleled sporting opportunities. We look forward to sharing those experiences with Pleasant Holidays guests in the months and years to come.”
The resort’s culinary program features the talents of renowned Executive Chef Roberto Cardazzo. Guests who fish aboard Mad Dash can savor their catch by bringing it back to the resort where Chef Cardazzo will prepare it for that evening’s dinner. Cardazzo has been known to go diving for fresh clams to prepare one of the region’s signature dishes, “Chocolate Clams” (which refers to the color of the clam, not the flavor).
With more than 100 miles of coastline, 300 sunny days a year and year-round surface temperatures averaging in the 80s, the Islands of Loreto is an unsung paradise. Located on the east coast of the Baja California Peninsula on the Sea of Cortez, the area is known for its quiet beaches, scenic vistas, rich history and astounding natural habitats.
The region appeals to adventurous travelers, offering SCUBA diving, snorkeling, hiking, and mountain biking. It is equally popular with travelers looking for a relaxed pace with all the options and amenities they have come to expect from a vacation in Mexico.
