Zihuatanejo is a warm, soulful fishing town on Mexico’s Pacific coast, just south of Ixtapa, known for its beautiful bay, golden beaches, and vibrant local culture. What makes Zihua truly special is its authenticity: fishermen bringing in the morning catch, artisans filling the streets with color, and locals welcoming you with genuine warmth. It’s a place that naturally slows your pace and invites you to fully arrive.

Our villa will take your breath away. Perched above the Pacific Ocean, it offers the best of both worlds: the privacy and luxury of a stunning retreat paired with easy access to Zihuatanejo’s lively food, culture, and coastal charm.

The Camp Joy villa is a collection of connected buildings with two pools, expansive outdoor spaces, and seven beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a terrace and private bath. Designed in modern Mexican style and filled with vibrant folk art, it’s a luxurious sanctuary with access to the exclusive SLS beach club.

Camp Joy Zihua blends daily yoga, Inner Joy workshops, and restorative downtime with immersive local experiences. Think vibrant markets, warm ocean swims, and fresh seafood enjoyed with your feet in the sand.

Unlike its more famous neighbors, Zihuatanejo remains rooted in its fishing village heritage, offering a relaxed atmosphere perfect for meaningful travel. Recently named a Pueblo Mágico and home to two Blue Flag beaches, Zihua’s magic stays with you long after you leave.

And if the town sounds familiar, it’s the paradise Andy Dufresne dreamed of in The Shawshank Redemption.
