Capella Ixtapa — Ixtapa, Mexico

One of Mexico's most exclusive resort destinations will soon have its crown jewel, when Capella Ixtapa opens in Summer 2008. This intimate Capella property will cater to the world's most discerning travelers, with 59 expansive suites, a pampering spa and world-class dining in a secluded cliffside setting of profound natural beauty.

Guests, particularly couples, who crave complete privacy and seclusion will find it at Capella Ixtapa, where a dedicated entrance will lead past two of Ixtapa's most sought-after residential areas to the resort's hideaway setting, surrounded by the tropical forests of the Sierra Madre Mountains to the north and east as well as the vast waters of the Pacific to the south and west. Yet should their desires change, guests will find a wealth of world-class recreational opportunities close at hand, from championship golf to a world-class marina as well as colorful village shops and restaurants.

To preserve Capella Ixtapa's tranquil nature, guests may leave their automobiles with the resort valet for the duration of their stay. Pedestrian walkways and hillside inclinators will take guests to their destinations within the resort grounds, while transportation services will be available for travel to and from points beyond. Bicycles provided by the resort will offer a leisurely option for exploratory rides around the village. An elaborate back-of-the-house tunnel system, already carved into the surrounding mountain, will allow service-related traffic to occur "behind the scenes."

The resort's architectural style will evoke the romance of Mediterranean hillside villages with authentic Mexican and regional influences. Accommodations will be as spacious as they will be luxurious, with fifty-four 1,000-square-foot standard suites and five 1,500-square-foot one-bedroom suites. Each suite enjoys a private ocean view, plunge pool and terrace.

Capella Ixtapa's intimate, cliffside spa will offer world-class pampering within 6,000 square feet of interior space, complemented by outdoor treatment environments that make the most of the inspirational views and a 1,300-square- foot fitness center. Local flora, culture and traditions will inform the spa's exclusive menu of treatments.
