Just a 35-minute drive south from Zihuatanejo / Ixtapa International Airport, along the Pacific Coastline of Mexico on rolling hills overlooking a beach and small lagoon, sits the quaint property of Playa Viva. This beautiful boutique hotel offers a private beach, with pristine sand and views of the Ocean and nearby mountain range. Originally an ancient civilization of an estimated 500 people where the Lodge now sits. Now the closest town is about 3km away called Juluchuca; with a population of approximately 500 people.
The property covers nearly 200 acres and includes many attractions, including a turtle sanctuary, an estuary, an Aztec archeological site, and the wildlife-abundant coastal forest and mangrove ecosystem. There is something for everyone at this family and pet-friendly home away from home.
The story of Playa Viva begins with Sandra Kahn, and her husband David Leventhal. After developing Casa Viva Troncones (a B&B 30 minutes north of Ixtapa) and successfully running it for some time, they laid eyes on the area that Playa Viva now sits. It started in 2005 when they fell in love with the property and its area. The beautiful views of the ocean and that quinte lagoon made them invest in the property. When looking to build on the land, it was important to the couple that they learned the history of the place, to show respect to the land they would be constructing on. Read more about them here.
