Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, Baja's first "million star" resort, has partnered this month with "Dancing with the Stars" champion and professional dancer Karina Smirnoff, for a print advertising campaign in Alaska Airlines' "Alaska Beyond" Magazine and radio spots on CBS Los Angeles.

The award-winning Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto has quickly become a haven for celebrities looking for a fabulous getaway in what feels like a private island.

"I recently visited the Islands of Loreto in Baja California, Mexico and it was simply amazing," said Smirnoff. "Villa del Palmar Beach Resort and Spa pampered me. From the incredible dining to the amazing staff and most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen … I absolutely loved my stay there and think you will too."

Other past celebrity visitors include E! News host Maria Menounos, Mayim Bialik from "The Big Bang Theory," hip hop artist Lil Jon, Brenda Strong of "Desperate Housewives" and Sarah Hyland of "Modern Family", among other special guests.

"Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto offers the best mix of location, views, hospitality, adventure, and luxury," said Owen Perry, co-owner and president of Villa Group. "For our celebrity guests, we're proud to offer the perfect setting to relax and vacation with loved ones while maintaining privacy and comfort."

Smirnoff visited the Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto in December 2012 and enjoyed spending time getting massages at the resort's 39,000-square-foot Sabila Spa, hiking the trails surrounding the resort, kayaking in the Sea of Cortez, and doing yoga on the beach.

"Villa Del Palmar was beautiful… had a blast hiking, kayaking and the spa was very relaxing, can't wait to come back!" she said at the time.

A five-time U.S. National Champion, Smirnoff won the thirteenth season of Dancing With the Stars with army veteran and soap opera star J.R. Martinez. She recently appeared on the show's current 21st season with Tripe Crown winning horse racing jockey Victor Espinoza.

Within just four short years, the resort has grown from a hidden gem travel experience to a leading resort in its industry – offering a mix of adventure, authentic and personalized Mexican hospitality and service, breathtaking views and unrivaled opportunities for relaxation.
