Mexico Boutique Hotels

Capella Ixtapa commands an extraordinary view of the Pacific Ocean that´s matched only by its exceptional facilities and marvelous service. A collection of superlatives, this ultra-luxury hotel welcomes you with an open-air lobby that takes full advantage of its surroundings, while creating a unique ambiance through stunning artwork created by Mexican artists and the strategic placement of everyday items elevated to elegant objets d´art.

Details such as these accompany you throughout the entire hotel, where nothing has been left to chance. A cable car—the property is an astonishing feat of architecture built into the side of a cliff—whisks you to your room, a lovingly orchestrated combination of creature comforts and well-thought out design. Remote controls allow you to set the air-conditioning to your liking, work the lights and change channels. A hand-made beach bag and sun-hat await your visit to the pool. The terrace, with its expansive view of the ocean, is simply seductive.

The elusive “sense of place” many hotels aspire to is evident as you enjoy your stay. Local artwork graces the walls and tables, and the best of Mexico seems to be coded into its DNA: in fact, the owners have taken great care to incorporate the country´s bountiful natural materials into its creation. Marble, stone, wood and leather—all beautifully wrought—serve as the backdrop to the latest technology that ensures your complete wellbeing.

Service at Capella is as unobtrusive as it is personalized—a delicate balance struck effortlessly with the assignment of Personal Assistants. Dining at any of the three establishments is an exquisite culinary experience, whether you sit down for a multi-course meal or settle in to nibble a little something to go with your premium tequila. The spa takes body and soul on a journey through the intoxicating aromas of the local fruits and flowers used in its extensive menu; here you can choose to enjoy your treatment in the cool darkness of an interior room, or glory in the views of the outdoor pavilion.

Located minutes away from the resort town of Ixtapa and all its many amenities, including championship golf and a world-class marina, Capella is near to all you might want—but offers everything you truly need.

Ixtapa is only four miles away from its sister town of Zihuatanejo, where you can spend a morning browsing the shops and cafés of the revitalized village center or catch a wave for few hours of prime surfing. The snorkeling and scuba diving are also top-notch.
