Club Med Ixtapa Pacific at a glance

Club Med Ixtapa Pacific, on the beach at Playa Quieta in Mexico, has closed. In November 2025 Club Med announced the sale of the property after more than 40 years of operation, and the resort can no longer be booked. Guests who loved it for its kids' clubs, its flying trapeze and its long Pacific beach now find the Club Med family spirit in Cancún, on the other side of Mexico, or in the Caribbean. Our advisors help you choose the resort closest to your memories of Ixtapa.


Is Club Med Ixtapa still open?

The resort is closed. Club Med says so on its official page: the company decided to sell the property, citing changes in travel habits and demand. The announcement came in early November 2025. Club Med has not named the buyer. If a site still offers you a week at Club Med Ixtapa, call us before paying: it is a listing that has not kept up.

What made this resort so endearing?

Opened in 1983 and renovated in 2021, the resort spread over some fifteen hectares between the Pacific and the Sierra Madre del Sur, with more than 700 metres of beach. Children spent their days at the club, parents tried the trapeze or headed out to sea, and many Quebec families came back year after year. That blend of nature and simplicity is what people now look for elsewhere.

Which Club Med should you choose in Mexico today?

Club Med Cancún is now the only Club Med resort in Mexico, and the one Club Med suggests first to former Ixtapa guests. It presents itself as a large all-inclusive family resort. Baby Club Med welcomes little ones from 4 to 23 months and Petit Club Med ages 2 and 3, at extra cost, then Mini Club Med takes over from 4 to 10 and the teen programme from 11 to 17. The setting changes: from Pacific waves to the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

Sports

Which other Club Med resorts feel like Ixtapa?

Club Med also points its regulars to the Caribbean. Columbus Isle, in the Bahamas, appeals mostly to couples and to sailing and diving lovers. La Caravelle, in Guadeloupe, offers a long white-sand beach and a French-speaking atmosphere. Further afield, Rio das Pedras, in Brazil, keeps that nature feel between forest and sea that gave Ixtapa its charm. See all Club Med resorts in the Americas and the Caribbean.

Can you still travel to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo?

Yes. The destination still has a seasonal direct flight from Montreal in winter, and several all-inclusive hotels welcome travellers on the beaches of Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo. If the place matters more to you than the Club Med formula, browse our Ixtapa packages or all our trips to Mexico.

Club Med has not revealed the buyer's identity or plans. Local sources mention a new brand, without official confirmation. Until something is announced, no package can be booked for this property. Our advisors will keep you informed if the hotel reopens and goes back on sale.
Some resellers and comparison sites are slow to remove closed hotels from their pages. A booking made on an outdated listing risks being cancelled. Before paying for a stay under a Club Med resort's name, have an advisor check that it is actually on sale for your dates.
At Club Med Cancún, the package includes accommodation, meals, bar drinks, most supervised sports and activities, and kids' clubs for ages 4 to 17. Spa treatments, some excursions and clubs for children under 4 cost extra. Your advisor details what applies to your dates.
