DESCRIPTION
Framed by jungled cliffs and blue ocean, Ixtapa Zihuatanejo has become a favorite destination of national and international tourists, due to the set of unique experiences it offers. At one end lies Ixtapa, which was crafted for luxury and tourism by FONATUR with its flawless beaches, gleaming high-rises, golf courses and shopping. Adjacent is the neighboring town of Zihuatanejo, a charming fishing village with charm seeping from corner. Both compliment each other, giving you two destinations just minutes from each other.
Zihuatanejo has evolved over the years, going from being a sleepy fishing village to a magical tourist town with its variety of natural spectacles. Enjoy its multiple beaches, the fishermen’s market at dawn, along with the main market and the artisanal handicraft market. People come from near and far to walk down its picturesque streets and connect with the local people, who welcome visitors with warm smiles.
Ixtapa, like Cancun was crafted for tourism. Here you can find luxury resorts & spas and all-inclusive hotels. From dusk till dawn, you can find surfers and sunbathers enjoying the many amenities and cinematic scenes of the area.
There is no shortage of sophistication and luxury in Ixtapa. Here you can find two golf courses that have been the scene of world-class tournaments. The first is the recently renovated Palma Real Golf Course, and the second the Marina Ixtapa Golf Club. Both designed by golf professionals Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Texan Robert Von Hagge.
In addition to the mixture of luxury and tradition, the destination is recognized for the diversity of its beaches, each one different from the other. This is a sun seeker’s paradise where you can enjoy snorkeling, diving, surfing, stand-up paddling, sailing and sport fishing.
In other news, our city has recently expanded the bike path, which extends over 25 km long, linking both Ixtapa Zihuatanejo along one path. It was awarded the Tourism Environmental Quality Certification, granted by the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources and the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection.
