Amenities

La Casa Que Canta
Camino Escenico Zihuatanejo, Mexico

From $68 per night

Ingeniously sculpted on a cliff with an extraordinary tiered architecture, La Casa Que Canta is both striking and beautiful. Superb views over Zihuatanejo Bay combine with impeccable service, a delightful spa, Mexican art and superb cuisine. Traditional Mexican design meets sophisticated chic in suites decorated with Mexican folk art and hand-crafted, painted furniture. All have terraces with breathtaking views of the sea. It is all magical but the infinity pool with a backdrop of rock, palms and tumbling flowers is sublime. Dine on Mexican seafood specialities, and then pick up some tips in cookery lessons with the chef. Afterwards, indulge in a safflower salt body scrub, then venture out to sea for a romantic sunset tour or deep-sea fishing adventure. La Casa Que Canta is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.

What's Great
National Geographic Traveler says... "A reclusive cliff-dweller stair-stepping its way down to the swirling surf. Big romantic rooms (flower petal designs on bed) with terraces and balconies poised for views. No real beach (Playa La Ropa is 100 yards away). Languorous alternative resort: Infinity-edge pool mimics ocean horizon; walking the grounds is a folkloric tour of Mexico. 29 rooms."
