On a wild stretch of Pacific coastline south of Zihuatanejo, Playa Viva is a B-Corp certified, fully solar-powered eco-resort where restoration happens through immersion in living systems: daily oceanside yoga led by a resident holistic host, beach massage under open palapas, farm-to-table meals incorporating healing ingredients grown by the Juluchuca Women’s Cooperative, and a landscape shaped by active turtle conservation and reforestation. Two MICHELIN Keys and the Regenerative Travel designation affirm a vision in which the guest’s wellbeing and the health of the surrounding ecosystem are understood as the same question.
