Playa Viva

Discover the rugged, unspoiled beauty of Mexico

We all need wild places to regenerate our souls. You can enjoy the rugged, unspoiled beauty of Mexico in the luxury of this environmentally-conscious resort. From farm-to-table cuisine and yoga retreats, to nurturing wild turtle habitats, Playa Viva treasures the environment as well as the guests for an unforgettable stay in harmony with nature.

Playa Viva believes in the simple luxury of nature. The property is situated on a mile of pristine private beach surrounded by lush green palms. You’ll fall asleep to the lullaby of the Pacific Ocean and wake to the warm breeze on your skin. Tour the on-site farm where we grow some of our food, including coconuts, mangos, cashews, tamarind, tomatoes, lettuces, cactus and many other delights. Visit the baby sea turtle sanctuary and explore our diverse coastal ecosystem.

With each passing moment at Playa Viva, you’ll feel more connected to the natural world around you.

Playa Viva invites you to enjoy the rugged, unspoiled beauty of Mexico in the guilt-free luxury of an environmentally conscious resort dedicated to sustainability and regenerative practices.

Playa Viva’s permaculture team uses both local knowledge and scientific analysis to understand the landscape, set carbon sequestration goals for Playa Viva’s forests, and identify the most appropriate trees to introduce through reforestation. Using permaculture principles and reforestation through a lens of agroforestry design, Playa Viva works to improve the soil’s ability to retain water and begin to turn its sandy earth into microbial rich loamy soil that will benefit future generations.
