Amuleto

Zihuatanejo


Designed by hotshot architect Enrique Zozaya, Amuleto sits high in the hills above Playa La Ropa, and consists of five individually styled suites in earthy tones, decorated in stone, ceramic and wood. Opt for Suite 1 to watch the sunset from your own infinity plunge pool. The attached fusion restaurant is a destination in itself. Three-night minimum stay; no kids.
