Ixtapa, Guerrero, Mexico · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Between Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, and surrounded by lush, tropical forests lies Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa, a secluded, romantic and exclusive resort whose location is so private it’s like sharing a well-kept secret. Set alongside a stunning rock cliff with endless views of the breathtaking azure blue ocean, Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa offers its guests a hideaway setting that belies the wealth of attractions just minutes away. Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa is located in proximity to the world-class Marina Ixtapa and two championship golf courses. For guests seeking an authentic Mexican experience, the local markets at Zihuatanejo are only ten minutes…
With each of its 59 suites featuring a master bedroom and an outdoor living area with a terrace and a private plunge pool overlooking the sea, Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa is an enviable address in Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa. Here, modern must-haves like Wi-Fi and LCD televisions combine with traditional Mexican touches; handmade clay and stone meet sleek marble and polished hardwoods. Book a session in the 4,000-square-foot spa, which features outdoor treatment areas and locally inspired therapies using native herbs. Then retire to the private plunge pool on your terrace to contemplate the blue Pacific rolling toward the cliffs below.
