The Best of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo: Pacific Fishing and Mexican Luxury
The Mexican government built Ixtapa from scratch in the 1970s as a planned resort corridor. Zihuatanejo, the fishing village it was built beside, was already there and has never quite adjusted to having a neighbor. The best luxury resorts in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo can help you make the most of each side's unique value.Zihuatanejo Bay is the reason most people keep coming back. The hills that ring it on three sides keep the water calm enough for kayaking and paddleboarding year-round. The bay also faces west, which means you get to watch the sun drop behind the open Pacific from inside a protected harbor.
Ixtapa's marina, though just 20 minutes away, makes the ocean look completely different. The stretch of Pacific off Ixtapa ranks among the most productive sailfish and marlin grounds on Mexico's coast, with a season that peaks from November through April but plenty of activity throughout the year. You can be offshore on a private charter within the hour, fighting fish that will clear the surface on the first run.
The most experienced travelers know how to enjoy the best of both Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo on the same trip, no matter where they stay.
