It also includes a large bathroom with double indoor/outdoor showers. Just steps away, an expansive infinity-edge pool with cobalt tiles provides breathtaking ocean views and mesmerizing sunsets.

Neighborhood highlights

Playa Blanca: A Secluded Nature Retreat
Playa Blanca is the "hidden gem" of the Zihuatanejo coast—miles of golden sand where high-end boutique villas replace crowded resorts. Located just 10 minutes from the airport (ZIH), it offers an effortless transition from the tarmac to the hammock.

The Experience
The Lagoon: Kayak and birdwatch in the mangroves of Barra de Potosí, home to over 200 species like roseate spoonbills.

The Ocean: Enjoy paddleboarding along the vast coastline or take a short boat trip to snorkel at Los Morros, where you’ll find tropical fish, sea turtles, and wintering humpback whales.

The Vibe: Authentic, quiet, and eco-chic. It’s the perfect spot to trade city noise for the sound of the Pacific.

In short: Incredible biodiversity and total seclusion, just 30 minutes from the vibrant dining of downtown Zihuatanejo.
