Playa Viva is a boutique retreat on Mexico’s Pacific coast, set on a mile of private beach between the Pacific and the Sierra Madre Mountains. Twenty rooms and a handful of beachfront treehouses sit between open ocean, palm groves, and working farmland, part of a nearly 200-acre property that takes in an estuary, a coastal forest, mangrove ecosystems, and an Aztec archaeological site. Days might flow between morning yoga in an oceanside shala, a massage under a beachside palapa, a conversation with the team running turtle conservation along this same shoreline, and nourishing meals rooted in traditional Mexican cooking, with produce from the farm just steps away.

The treehouses are a highlight: bamboo structures above the dunes, with the Pacific providing the soundtrack and the setting feeling wonderfully removed. Guests can engage as much or as little as they like with the work happening around them: the farm, the turtle conservation, the watershed programs. Most find themselves drawn in further than they expected. Come for the beach; leave understanding far more about the land and community behind it.
Playa Viva is B Corp certified and operates entirely off-grid, generating 100% of its electricity from solar power. Its regenerative approach reaches far beyond the hotel itself, with programs supporting reforestation, water, permaculture, marine conservation, education and the wider community.
Through ReSiMar, it works alongside local communities to restore the Juluchuca watershed, while La Tortuga Viva has helped release more than 450,000 sea turtle hatchlings since 2010. A 2% Regenerative Trust contribution included in every guest stay helps fund this work, connecting each visit directly to the long-term health of the place.
Our custom-tailored journeys start from $1,000 USD per day for two travelers. ($1,800 per couple in beach destinations)
