Mexico is one of the most requested destinations for travel in 2021. The country provides excellent value, quality in resorts and easy access from the United States and beyond. This month, we travel south again to The Embarc Zihuatanejo.

The Embarc is the only Elite Interval International property in Zihuatanejo. Zihuantanejo sits along the Pacific Coast between Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco in an area known as Costa Grande. Renowned for retaining its authentic town feel and excellent food, Zihuatanejo remains one of Mexico’s most beautiful and visited tourist areas. As the destination multiplied in the 1970s, it was developed into a  community called Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo and the town is safe and famous for travel.

The Embarc is built into terraces along the hillside and allows for ocean views from every angle. The property consists of 73 studios, one- and two-bedroom units. The open-air design leads you from the Infinity Pool onto one of the world’s finest beaches, Playa la Ropa, where you can step into the calm water and soft sand.  Two swimming pools face directly towards the ocean and provide a quiet, tropical atmosphere.  You can dine at onsite restaurants and bars or take a short walk or ride into town for fantastic seafood. The Embarc is a small resort, so it is always advised to let us build a request for you ahead of time to find availability.

Eight airlines serve the International Airport in Ixtapa with flights from the United States and other destinations in Mexico. The airport is twenty minutes from the resort and the property can arrange for transportation. The Embarc Zihuatanejo is ideally located along the north end of La Ropa Beach. A ten-minute walk from the resort is Paseo Del Pescado, a pedestrian area lined with shops and restaurants along the beach. Zihuatanejo is known for its art and handmade goods and the Mercado de Artesanias has 250 shops selling local work you can indulge in as you admire the sunset.

It’s increasingly difficult to find destinations in Mexico that maintain an authentic local atmosphere but allow you the comforts of private luxury resorts. The Embarc Zihuatanejo just might be the perfect concoction for your next great beach vacation.
