Former Capella Ixtapa Rebrands to Independent Boutique Hotel, the Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa
Cala de Mar Resort & Spa, Ixtapa's luxury beach resort, announces its rebrand as an independent boutique property. Formerly known as Capella Ixtapa, the 54-suite property is perched on the lush Sierra Madre cliff side with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. The resort's luxury accommodations, high touch service and immersive culinary indulgences are inspired by the vibrant Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo culture.
“We are renewing the heritage of our property with laidback luxury featured throughout,” said newly appointed General Manager Javier Aluni. “From the resort's in-room amenities to our dining, we capture the rugged beauty of our setting.”
“The setting really dictates our service. We're relaxed but refined,” said Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa's owner Maria Elena Checa. “We honor the natural allure of the property.”
At the helm of the newly rebranded property is a fresh, experienced leadership team, including recently appointed General Manager Javier Aluni, Director of Sales Guillermina Camarena, Executive Chef Alain Michel Derouin Martínez and Spa Manager Adrián Cano. With years of combined hospitality, business and management experience from Mexico's top tourism boards and leading resorts around the globe, the newly dedicated team is poised to represent Cala de Mar Resort & Spa Ixtapa, its four dining outlets and El Capricho Spa.
