Discovering Ixtapa: Location and Activities Around Cala De Mar

Why not explore Ixtapa, the scenic city that's home to Cala De Mar, and partake in the myriad of activities it offers? Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this pristine location is teeming with opportunities for adventure and relaxation.

The area surrounding Cala de Mar is bustling with world-class activities. Xihuacan, an ancient Mesoamerican archaeological site located on the Costa Grande of the Mexican state of Guerrero, has recently been making waves in the archaeological world. Situated near the small town of La Soledad de Maciel and the larger towns of Zihuatanejo and Petatlán, Xihuacan has been occupied for over 3,000 years by three distinct cultures, including contact with other Mesoamerican cultures such as the Teotihuacan and Olmec.

Guests will also have the chance to visit a tobacco plantation and enjoy a day of cigar smoking among the region’s robust fields. This option is intriguing for visitors who appreciate the finer things in life while learning about new cultures.

To the north, travelers can spend time at Troncones, a chill surf beach a short ride from the hotel. The beaches are placid and peaceful, offering a welcome change from the Mediterranean’s overcrowded shores. Meanwhile, down in Zihuatanejo, visitors can enjoy mezcal tastings and culinary immersions arranged through Cala de Mar’s personal concierges.

You can marvel at the majestic whale migration, an experience that's truly humbling. Golfing options abound, with world-class courses mere moments away. Or, if you prefer, indulge in beach relaxation on Playa el Palmar's golden sands.

Additionally, Ixtapa is closer to home than you might thing, thanks to convenient flight connections from major cities. And, let's not forget the local attractions, brimming with vibrant Mexican culture.
