SPA:

Charming and intimate, the Tides Spa at Zihuatanejo offers massages, facials and body treatments by a team of professionally skilled therapists. Drawing inspiration from its seaside setting, the spa primarily utilizes Osea’s expansive line of marine-extracted, sustainable spa products. Derived from potent ocean sources such as seaweed, algae and others offering pure essential-oil extracts, Osea’s line is also biodegradable and vegan.

Nestled amidst a lush tropical landscape, the spa offers 6 treatment rooms. Massages are also available in suites.

The spa’s specialty treatment is The Tides’ brand-wide Lava Shell Therapy, a holistic, ocean-derived treatment that features a revolutionary heating system. The treatment starts with a massage oil created exclusively for The Tides brand by Osea, made of basil, lavender, geranium, grapefruit and jasmine essential oils. Next, finely polished, self-heating Tiger Clam shells are applied directly to the body to infuse "native ocean chi" deep into the skin and tissues through a soothing, full-body massage.

DINING:

La Marea
Led by Executive Chef Jose Paco Isordia Dorantes, La Marea restaurant offers gourmet Mediterranean seafood dishes for lunch and dinner inspired by the area’s fresh seasonal bounty and enhanced by the restaurant’s prime collection of olive oils.

La Villa
La Villa restaurant’s refined candlelit atmosphere features modern interpretations of Pacific-Mexican cuisine.

Coral Bar
The friendly sanctuary of The Tides brand’s signature Coral Bar offers a colorful ceviche bar and specialty tequila bar featuring over 110 varieties of tequila.

Lunch on the Beach:
The Tides Zihuatanejo’s signature elegant beach lunch is delivered on a white linen-set table directly to a private palapa where guests enjoy gourmet cuisine while reclining in a beach chair, toes wriggling in the sand.

Private Island Dinner:
The resort offers a private island dinner that can accommodate one couple (two nights a week). Couples are transported to the island by canoe and dine amidst lush foliage, candles and music. A pre-set table is intuitively attended by a single waiter.

Sense of the Night:
Seasonal. Twice a week (Thursdays and Saturdays) The Tides Zihuatanejo’s sparkling stretch of sand transforms into a sultry bonfire beach lounge. Succumb to the beguiling ambience and the blissful beats provided by a resident DJ, while enjoying cocktails and a gourmet selection of small bites from our signature menu.

La Cava Dinner
The Tides’ wine cellar – La Cava – houses a fine collection of over 1,250 new-world labels from North America, Mexico (Baja) and Chile. The cellar’s private dinner event presents a unique inversion of culinary tradition – guests make their wine selections first, then Chef Paco designs a six-course tasting menu around the distinctive flavors and qualities. Tyrol crystal glasses and decanters enhance the experience. Maximum of six diners per night.
