Local Knowledge

Located on Mexico's sun-drenched Pacific Coast, with the striking Sierra Madre Mountains as the backdrop, Ixtapa is one of the country's most sought after vacation destinations, offering beautiful resorts, spas, dining and shopping. In addition to its many lovely beaches, the area offers large marinas to accommodate your sailing needs, as well as several championship golf courses.

Looking for something a little more low-key? Look no further than Ixtapa's sister city Zihuatanejo (zee-wah-tah-neh-ho) – or 'Zihua' as it is commonly known. Located just 10 minutes away, as a counter to Ixtapa's high-rise hotels, all-inclusive resorts and upscale shopping, Zihua, once a quaint fishing village, is a place of winding streets of galleries and folk art shops, boutique hotels and palapa-style seafood restaurants serving the catch of the day.
