Ixtapa

Guerrero, Mexico

Ixtapa is a resort city located on the Pacific coast of Guerrero, Mexico, near the traditional fishing town of Zihuatanejo.

Developed in the early 1970s as a government-planned tourist destination, it was built on former coconut plantations and mangrove wetlands. The city features numerous beaches with golden sand, calm warm waters, and excellent conditions for swimming, surfing, snorkeling, and other water sports.

Ixtapa hosts upscale hotels, golf courses, tennis courts, and a range of restaurants and nightlife options, offering a more modern and luxurious atmosphere compared to nearby Zihuatanejo, which retains a laid-back, local town charm.

The region is surrounded by natural beauty, including rolling mountains, dry jungles, and mangrove swamps which support diverse wildlife. Ixtapa is accessible via the Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport, located about 25 kilometers from the city, making it a popular destination for both relaxation and adventure tourism on Mexico’s Pacific Riviera.
