Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa

S/N Paseo Punta Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo, Mexico
59 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Quiet
One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
Overdevelopment has taught many of us to approach Mexico’s resort towns with some trepidation, but here’s one that just might restore our faith. Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa, clinging as it does to a cliff face on Mexico’s pacific coast, its rooms and suites cascading down towards the water.

Looking at the plan it’s no surprise that all the accommodations look right out to sea. Plunge pools abound, and the breathtaking views are a reminder of what the whole infinity-edge thing is supposed to be about. Meanwhile indoors, despite the traditionally-influenced décor, you’ll find the absolute state of the art in luxury lodging.

The end result is a smallish resort that feels even smaller, a tranquil experience in a luxe enclave by the sea. While hardly the edgiest or most aggressively trend-setting of hosts, you can count on them to never put a foot wrong — lapses in taste are virtually nonexistent, and the service is always professional. Take the splendid beauty of the setting into account, and there are few places in Mexico to match it.

I am so grateful that I found Cala de Mar through the Tablet Hotels site. It was a beautiful hotel with excellent service and provided us with the most lovely, romantic and enjoyable vacation. The room had an ocean view, private plunge pool on a large deck and lovely bedroom and bathroom. The food throughout the hotel was delicious- we especially loved the Seafood Market where you chose from freshly caught fish and they grill it right there. Perfect!

Unbelievably scenic, private, relaxing. True luxury experience with amazing staff and very few guests. Each room is designed as a suite with ocean view, private pool and deck.

The service was impeccable. The staff went out of their way to find ways to make guests happy and comfortable. Moreover the food at Amares restaurant in the hotel is better than most NY/SF high end places we frequent. We plan on going back!
