Zihuatanejo Vacation Rentals, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Zihuatanejo , and it’s sister city, Ixtapa, is located along the beautiful Pacific Coast of Mexico. Zihuatanejo is a quaint, old fishing village that sits on a picturesque bay, while Ixtapa is a young, exciting vacation resort, created in the 1970s. Beaches in both towns offer spectacular sun, sand and waves. Zihuatanejo’s main beach, Playa Principal, is well suited for seashell collectors, fishing and boating. Playa de Palmer, Ixtapa’s main beach, is active, spacious and quite beautiful, and is popular with scuba divers, parasailers and jet skiers. Across the road from the beach are clusters of outdoor cafes, restaurants and shops. Playa Quieta and Playa Linda are twin beaches that are separated by a pier, and their calm waters make them very popular with families. The Zihuatanejo area offers a wide range of water sports, as well as an excellent biking trail, horseback riding on the beach, volleyball, hiking, tennis and golf. Accommodations range from sprawling resorts to budget hotels, many located just steps from the glittering beach. Zihuatanejo’s restaurants serve freshly caught fish from the bay at consistent budget prices, while Ixtapa’s restaurants cater more to the international crowd. For nightlife, Zihuatanejo is the place to go to sample local talent, while Ixtapa’s main strip rocks to the beat with nightlife in fancy clubs and relaxed bars. Both places are pleasant to stroll, but Zihuatanejo is the best if you prefer local color.
