Casa Koll
Casa Koll Estate | 8-Bedroom Beachfront Estate in Palmilla
Sleeps 20 | 8 Bedrooms | 8 Full + 1 Half Baths | Two Separate Houses | 15,000 sq ft | Palmilla, San José del Cabo
Casa Koll Estate is a beachfront estate in Palmilla Norte, San José del Cabo, and it is not one house but two. Casa Koll holds four suites, the great room and the main kitchen; Casa Roca, the guest house beside it, holds four more suites with its own full kitchen, living room and dining room. Two families can share the property and each still have their own front door, their own kitchen and their own evening.
The second thing that sets it apart is the water. The garden runs down to the sand and the sea in front is Bahía de Palmilla — calm, and genuinely swimmable. Almost no beach along this corridor is: most have undertow. A beachfront house where the family can actually get in the water is rare here, and it is the best single fact about this estate.
Behind the houses there are a private tennis court and a private basketball court, plus a children's playground with a slide and swings. With the swimmable bay in front and the courts behind, a group with children and grandparents can spend the whole day without leaving. There is also an elevator, a whole-house water filtration system and private security.
Built by the Man Who Built Palmilla
Don Koll, the developer behind the Palmilla Resort, built this estate for himself — which is why it sits where it does inside the community. The architecture follows the villages of Provence, using reclaimed materials: the roof tiles came from a nineteenth-century hacienda in Veracruz and the antique floors from an estate in Andalusia. At night, torches are lit along the terraces and walkways.
Two Houses, Eight Suites
Casa Koll has four suites, the great room with a fireplace rising to a herringbone wood ceiling, and the main kitchen with a solid wood table for twelve. Casa Roca, next door, has four more suites and its own complete kitchen, living room and dining room. Each bedroom is a suite with its own bathroom, and there is a half bathroom for the common areas.
The Pool, the Courts and the Outdoor Rooms
A heated infinity pool faces the sea, with a jacuzzi beside it and twelve loungers around it. Beyond that: a fire pit, an outdoor fireplace, a summer kitchen with a grill and an outdoor bar. Behind the houses, the tennis and basketball courts and the children's playground.

Guests at Casa Koll Estate can use the restaurants, bars and spa at One&Only Palmilla, with a reservation made in advance. The hotel's gym and swimming pools are for hotel guests only and are not available to you. We would rather tell you now than have you find out at the gate.
