Playa Viva is a regenerative hotel “where your vacation meets your values TM” dedicated to a triple-bottom-line that works to improve planet, people and prosperity. The hotel is situated at the base of the Sierra Madre Mountains on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, forty minutes from Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa International Airport (ZIH). Guests enjoy the luxury of immersion in nature with nearly a mile of private beach and 200 acres of nature reserve to explore. Since opening in 2008, Playa Viva has been built on the highest standards of environmental & social impact and is proud to be the founding hotel behind Regenerative Travel. Key Impact highlights include spearheading the non-profit ReSiMar, a community-driven watershed regeneration project (working in five nodes: education, sustainable fisheries, water, conservation, and permaculture) and on-site sea turtle sanctuary, La Tortuga Viva, that protects endangered species. The property runs on 100% off-grid solar power, solar thermal hot water, and on-site grey- and black-water processing. While the extensive on-site permaculture farm cultivates everything from produce to building materials. Playa Viva is proud to be a world-leading example of experiential travel that offers an authentic, all-encompassing regenerative experience
