Isla Navidad
Isla Navidad, translating to “Christmas Island,” owes its name to being located directly in front of Barra de Navidad. Despite the name, Isla de Navidad is not an island, but rather a long peninsula that is accessible by car from Highway 200 just west of Cihuatlán. Most people however, prefer to take a quick $5 boat ride from downtown Barra.
This luxurious retreat combines natural beauty with world-class amenities, making it a destination for those seeking sophistication and leisure. At the center of the island lies the Grand Bay Resort, renowned for its championship golf course, which draws players from around the globe. The resort also features a state-of-the-art marina with a marine gas station, as well as tennis courts, jet ski rentals, and immaculately landscaped grounds.
Adding to Isla Navidad’s charm is the quaint village of La Culebra, which consists of only a few streets and a handful of small neighborhood stores. This peaceful hamlet offers a glimpse of traditional Mexican life, providing a charming contrast to the island’s more lavish attractions. La Culebra’s understated character contributes to the island’s unique appeal.
