"One of the great undiscovered pleasures of Mexico is Mar de Jade, a vacation retreat center that lifts the spirits and fires the imagination."
(Chicago Tribune)

Located in a setting of great natural beauty and serenity, Mar de Jade has as its backdrop a lush tropical mountain forest alive with birds, iguanas, and tropical vegetation, and has nearby groves of coconut, mango and banana trees. Directly in front of Mar de Jade is Chacala's half mile stretch of pristine, sandy beach and warm ocean water that deepens gradually.

Our Mission
Mar de Jade was created in 1983 in the spirit of active community service, of gratitude for the natural environment, and of the cultivation of genuine friendships.

We have an excellent relationship with our neighbors here in fishing village as well as in nearby farming towns. A percentage of Mar de Jade's income and staff time is dedicated to supporting projects we have founded: a primary-care community clinic, a legal-aid project, a scholarship fund for young people, and an emergency fund for families in distress.

We also nurture a spirit of camaraderie and exchange among guests, staff, and local folks in many of our activities, from eating together to relaxing in the jacuzzi and celebrating traditional holidays.
