Start 2026 in one of Mexico’s best beach destinations. Here are 6 travel rituals to kick off the year with the best energy, attract more trips, and add more beach getaways to your list.
Welcome the sunrise over the Pacific at Playa La Ropa or El Palmar, giving thanks to the sea for the journeys to come. This ritual is best experienced between 6 and 7 a.m., when the beaches are calm and the sound of the waves invites connection.
Walk through downtown Zihuatanejo and along its Paseo del Pescador (Fisherman’s Walk), absorbing the local essence and the good vibes of the place. It’s an ideal ritual to connect with the destination’s authenticity, attract genuine experiences, and let yourself be carried away by the relaxed rhythm of Ixtapa Zihuatanejo.
Try dorado strips or relleno de puerto (a type of stuffed fish), celebrating the richness of the sea and the mountains in flavors that represent Zihuatanejo’s gastronomic identity and the port’s culture.
Make a wish upon seeing a whale swimming with its calf, a moment to give thanks and attract journeys filled with harmony and connection. A deeply emotional experience that symbolizes protection, abundance, and new beginnings.
Watch the first sunset of your trip from the Parthenon of Zihuatanejo, asking for an abundance of experiences and happy moments with a privileged view of the bay and the Pacific horizon.
Finally, the last ritual every traveler should perform: declare to the universe your desire to return to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, the perfect moment to pause, connect with the present, and mark the beginning of a year full of unforgettable experiences and memories in this double paradise.
