Palmilla Beach Resort & Golf Community
Links golf, beach club, and resort living on the Gulf
A seaside golf-resort village along the 361 corridor — charming streetscapes, sparkling pools with a swim-up bar, on-site dining from beach bar to coffee shop, attended beach service, and the only Arnold Palmer links-style golf course in Texas, all a golf-cart ride from the sand.

Golf and the Beach Club
Palmilla is built around the only Arnold Palmer-designed true-links golf course in Texas — nine holes plus The Loop short course — and the beach club carries the resort standard onto the sand: attendant service with chairs, umbrellas, and food and beverage delivered to your spot, plus two heated pools (The Oasis with its swim-up bar, and the Seaside Pool with private cabanas).
The vibe is upscale but family-warm — think St. Andrews meets the Gulf. Ownership runs from villas and condos to custom homes, with strong short-term rental demand driven by the amenities.
Building Here
Palmilla still has build-ready homesites — golf-side and beach-side positions with the resort's design standards. Thinking custom? Start with the build-your-own path — community first, then the lot, then the coastal team.
