Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo aerial view

Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo, Mexico

Zihuatanejo is a fishing town on a sheltered bay of Mexico's Guerrero coast, where pangas still land the morning catch beside the waterfront and hillside boutique hotels look over Playa La Ropa. Next door, the resort of Ixtapa adds golf, a marina and boat trips to Isla Ixtapa, while the whole coast keeps an easy, unhurried rhythm far from mass tourism.

La Casa Que Canta

An adults-only boutique hotel of terracotta-hued adobe and palapa roofs on the cliffs above Zihuatanejo Bay, where many suites have private pools and look over Playa La Ropa.

Thompson Zihuatanejo

A boutique Thompson beach resort set among palms directly on Playa La Ropa, Zihuatanejo's favourite swimming beach, with relaxed contemporary rooms, pools and seafood by the sand.

Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa

A cliffside resort above the Pacific north of Ixtapa where every suite has a private heated plunge pool and ocean views, plus the Spa El Capricho and two outdoor pools.
