Tropical modernism meets wabi-sabi restraint, with open-air spaces, raw materials, and rooftop gardens dissolving the boundary between jungle and sea.
Steps from La Ropa Beach, the hotel brings together surfers, creatives, and travelers in a relaxed community shaped by the rhythm of the Pacific.
A palette of wood, stone, linen, and artisan-made furnishings creates interiors that are refined, tactile, and deeply connected to place.
Location
Just 35 minutes from Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa International Airport, Hotelito at MUSA is a sprawling property and a lost world of pristine coastline and diverse landscapes on the Pacific Coast’s Guerrero, Mexico, in the region of Costa Grande. Set along a one-mile stretch of undiscovered beachfront with 177 acres of palm groves and 40 kilometers of undeveloped coast, the property sits on a naturally secured peninsula. This unique escape is a launching pad to spirited nearby towns, including Juluchuca with its local delicacies of coconut candies, watermelon, and basil fields, and generational salt-harvesting; while La Barrita, Papanoa, and Puerto Vicente offer fresh seafood at charming, family-owned beachfront eateries. Petatlán, meanwhile, presents handmade straw rugs, cowboy boots, and hats, as well as a local hospital, schools, and a technology university. Nearby, ancient Mesoamerican ruins and archeological sites reveal a detailed history of the region, as does the ancient city of Xihuacan, with a museum providing insights into the culture from more than 3,000 years ago.

Architecture Andrés Saavedra Design
Designed for a subtropical climate, the architecture is purposefully built for functionality, efficiency, and maximum comfort amid a raw, coastal jungle landscape. Open-air bathrooms and living areas allow for cross-breeze ventilation, while lush rooftop gardens and exterior landscaping promote naturally cooler indoor spaces. Here, unobstructed 180-degree views of the horizon capture the dazzling and untamed Pacific and every sunset.
Interior design Andrés Saavedra Design
Working with local and Mexican design teams, Hotelito at MUSA’s interiors present a world of handcrafted textures and finishes, contemporary lines, airy interiors, and an organic and tactile sensibility. The “Tropical Modernist” laidback aesthetic ensures a raw authenticity through understated elegance and neutral natural materials, such as polished concrete, granite, Parota wood carpentry, and handmade black terrazzo tiles.

Likewise, take a guided fishing tour and eat what you catch that day as the chefs prepare your seafood haul for dinner back at Alba.
