The MICHELIN Guide selects hotels through anonymous visits by expert inspectors who evaluate each property based on universal standards of excellence—architecture and design, quality of service, character, and value for the price. Out of over 5,000 hotels reviewed worldwide, only those offering truly memorable stays are awarded a MICHELIN Key. Similar to the Guide’s globally renowned star system for restaurants, this new hotel distinction ranges from one to three keys. Each key signals a verified level of excellence, offering travelers a trusted symbol of hospitality at its finest.
World-Class Gastronomy
Cala de Mar enhances its dreamy setting with five-star culinary offerings across four signature restaurants. Under the Ixtapa sun, Las Rocas Restaurant serves simple, creative dishes in a relaxed poolside atmosphere. Seafood Market is known for the freshest Pacific fish and seafood, served in a cozy, locally inspired setting. At the heart of the resort, A Mares Restaurant features the Executive Chef’s original creations paired with premier Mexican and international wines. At the same time, the A Mares Terrace Bar offers tapas and snacks with breathtaking sunset views over the ocean. This comprehensive culinary experience—including 24-hour in-room dining—played a key role in the resort’s recognition by MICHELIN.
A Sanctuary of Luxury and Tradition
Cala de Mar is also home to El Capricho Spa, a haven of wellness that blends ancient Aztec healing traditions with modern luxury. Just steps from the ocean, the spa is described as “a true sanctuary for the senses,” where the citrus scent of toronjil, a flower native to Guerrero, greets guests upon arrival. The spa menu features signature treatments using regional ingredients such as cacao, coffee, aloe, and cactus, alongside reflexology, body scrubs, and hydrotherapy. Amenities like a jacuzzi, steam room, and sauna round out a deeply restorative experience designed to nourish body and soul.
Impact for Mexico and Global Recognition
This MICHELIN recognition not only elevates Cala de Mar but also reinforces the global prestige of Mexico as a world-class travel destination. In total, four hotels in the state of Guerrero received MICHELIN Keys for their “excellence in hospitality,” placing it “on the global tourism map” and showcasing its unique combination of understated luxury, natural immersion, and cultural authenticity. The MICHELIN distinction enhances international visibility for the region—especially among discerning travelers from the U.S., Canada, and beyond—who seek the singular charm of Mexico’s Pacific coast.
This global seal, granted in 2024 for the first time, certifies that guests at Cala de Mar will enjoy an exceptional hospitality experience, upheld by the MICHELIN Guide’s internationally recognized standards.
