Cliffside Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa is one of Mexico’s most spectacular hotels, sculpted into a red cliff above the ocean. From the Pacific breeze carrying the citrus fragrance through the open-air lobby to the four specialty restaurants and heated plunge pools in all guestrooms, it is a slice of paradise. Indulge in Aztec-inspired treatments at the sensuous Spa El Capricho, watch dolphins from a secluded cliff-side terrace, and enjoy cold beer with fresh guacamole and chips brought to your suite daily.
