June 20th, 2012
Kerzner International is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Bowling as Managing Director for One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, Mexico. In his new role, Bowling will be responsible for the overall operations of the iconic resort, renowned for its intuitive service and old-world elegance.
“Peter brings a passion for luxury and an understanding of Los Cabos which make him a valuable addition to the One&Only Palmilla family,” says Markantonis. “We are fortunate he will be joining our team to continue our tradition of excellence that has solidified Palmilla as the #1 Resort in Mexico for eight years by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler since opening in 2004.”
Prior to this appointment, Bowling served as General Manager of Capella Pedregal in Cabo San Lucas, where he opened the property in 2009. As Managing Director of One&Only Palmilla, Bowling will report directly to George Markantonis, President and Managing Director of Kerzner International.
“One&Only Palmilla remains Cabo’s most iconic hotel since opening in 1956. Under the expert guidance of Kerzner International and longtime Managing Director Edward Steiner, the resort achieved a series of world-renowned accolades, and I am looking forward to continuing this success,” says Bowling. “I am thrilled to be embarking on this new chapter with One&Only Palmilla and cannot wait to begin working with the talented staff who give this resort a heart and soul that is simply unrivaled.”
With over 26-years of experience in the luxury hospitality industry, Bowling began his career in England at the acclaimed Lainston House and Eastwell Manor before holding a position at Chilston Park Country House. After relocating from England in 1986, Bowling went on to manage some of the Caribbean’s most celebrated resorts including The Royal Pavilion in Barbados and the Cotton House Hotel in Mustique. Bowling also developed Villa Nova, Barbados’ first boutique style hotel, and was Managing Director of the renowned Jumby Bay in Antigua, where he spearheaded an extensive renovation to the private 300-acre island, part of the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts group.
With unobstructed views of the Sea of Cortez, One&Only Palmilla is a favorite with the celebrity set thanks to unparalleled service and thoughtful details, from personalized minibars and complimentary wellness therapies, to manicured beaches complete with floating beds and private butlers. In November 2008, the resort’s traditional Mexican ambiance was carefully preserved while the facilities and services were considerably upgraded as part of a $30 million renovation. All rooms and suites, including the new beachfront casitas with private infinity pools and the lavish four-bedroom Villa Cortez, face the ocean with a private balcony or patio offering expansive views of the sea for a new generation of travelers.
