Looking to relax at a friendly, picturesque fishing village? Or in the mood to unwind at an elegant resort? Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo offers both! The sister towns are located only a few minutes from each other, and are serviced by the same airport. But the towns are strikingly different from each other.

Ixtapa's coastline is home to luxurious hotels, marinas and golf courses. A beautiful, tree-lined boulevard divides the hotels on one side from a string of shops on the other.

Visitors can enjoy typical small-town life in neighbouring Zihuatanejo, a once sleepy fishing village that began to attract visitors with its wonderful hilltop views and palm-strewn beaches, and now offers charming hotels, restaurants and shops.
