Ixtapa is a tourist resort built in Mexico during the 1970s that transformed what was once a land of coconuts and mangroves. Just four miles from Zihuatanejo, this area consists mostly of beaches, hotels and shopping strips.
Ixtapa grew in the ‘70s, when developers looked to create a resort area that catered to tourists in search of a first-class experience without the overwhelming atmosphere of a large destination.
Choose from two 18-hole golf courses, the Marina Ixtapa Golf Course and the Club de Golf Ixtapa Palma Real; shop at the Artisans Market or the Artesania Turistico near the beach; snorkel, scuba dive or take a swim off the coast of the Isla Ixtapa.
