2. Luxury house with beach and mountain views (from USD 882)
This eight-person luxury villa is named “Casa Encantadora” which literally translates as “Lovely House” - and that’s an accurate summation of what awaits you when you book here for a holiday. The views are uniformly tremendous, but it’s in the luxury experience that this house really comes into its own. You’ll be served for the duration of your hillside stay by a gourmet cook who will prepare five-star meals to order, and by a housekeeper who will keep the place spotless. Meanwhile, the property manager will ensure your every need is catered to with a smile. All you need to do is relax, which is all the easier with four luxury bedrooms and a heated infinity pool.

They are very friendly and always willing to assist in any way they canThe pool man comes every day as well to clean the poolThey also check in on you every now and then and turn all of the lights on and off for you each evening GabrielLocation:
It truly is the best location in town because you can walk to awesome La Ropa Beach in one direction (5 minute walk) and into Zihuatanejo town in the other direction (15-20 minute walk)It was very convenient to walk upstairs to the restaurant for breakfast in the mornings and was a great way to start off the dayThis was our first visit to Zihuatanejo and were drawn to this Villa for its location and view and it did not disappointbut that was never an issueI had some reservations about being below a restaurant for fear of noise carrying down into the VillaRead more reviewsAmenities & Room:
The beds were very comfortable and the A/C in each bedroom worked greatHaving each room on its own level gives a great sense of privacy and space if and when you need it and the main pool and outdoor living area is a fantastic spot to congregateThis property is unique because it feels more like a hotel with cleaners coming in every morning to tidy up the Kitchen and living space and every other day to clean the roomsas well You will not be disappointedThe rooms and bathrooms seem a bit outdated with the trend for more contemporary and clean designs but the space and view more than make up for this
4. Epic villa with panoramic scenery
From the moment you look from the windows to see Zihuatanejo Bay and, across the water, the Sierra Madre Mountains, you’ll be captivated by this accommodation. Named “Estrella de Mar” (Star of the Sea), this charming villa with a gourmet kitchen has everything going for it. Close to a fishing village and served by an excellent market where you can find splendid jewelry, this is the kind of accommodation that comes to mind when you hear the word “idyllic”. If you want meals prepared, you need only ask the hosts, or you might want to try a local restaurant for a traditional dining experience.

5. Bayview villa close to everything (from USD 416)
When you’re staying in Zihuatanejo, it’s fair to say that even an average accommodation will look stunning thanks to the incredible scenery all around. So when you get a villa as independently splendid as this four-bedroom, eight-guest residence, what you get is beauty on top of beauty. Artisan furnishing and decor inside, with a 34-foot (10-meter) infinity pool outdoors, this is a delightful accommodation where you can request a cook service or use the excellent gourmet kitchen yourself. With access to private tennis courts and bike paths, it’s a wonderful spot for the sporty.

7. Two-floor condo with stunning view
Holidaymakers who enjoy their space will be delighted by this condo; one of just four accommodations in a large building, the space you will be renting stretches over two stories, the top two in the building. The condo offers an expanse of outdoor decking with unparalleled views of Zihuatanejo Bay. High-speed internet is available throughout, including next to the outdoor pool which, typically, you will have all to yourself. An excellently equipped kitchen is more than big enough for prepping and cooking meals for the four people the condo is equipped to accommodate.

8. Two-person condo with beautiful bay view
This excellent condo provides impressive value for money in comparison to the average accommodation in Zihuatanejo, but let’s avoid damning it with faint praise - it’s more than just a value option. What you get for your money here is more than ample; a fully equipped kitchen, maid service, air-conditioning and fast WiFi, as well as access to two infinity pools and an easy walk to the beach. The expansive kitchen opens up to offer a great view over the bay, and a beautifully maintained garden area is ideal for short walks.

10. Idyllic four-bedroom villa
This spacious villa has to be seen to be believed, and your toughest dilemma, while you’re staying here, might be deciding just which part of the property is your favorite. The expansive infinity pool will be a strong contender, offering cartoonishly beautiful views of the bay, while the house itself makes use of slate, palapa and wood to offer a rustic (yet modern) home which you’ll be reluctant to leave when the holiday is up. The villa is catered too, which means delicious, traditional Mexican cuisine whenever you want it.
