Hotel Escondido

The Pacific coast of Oaxaca remains undeveloped at this point, and behind the strip of sand, the vegetation grows densely up to the grounds of Hotel Escondido. Puerto Escondido, Mexico's surfing mecca, is far enough away that no neighboring building interrupts the view and the beach in the morning is as empty as it was the evening before. The sixteen Cabañas are spread across the property in such a way that each keeps the water in sight, and those who wake up can already tell by the colors of the rooms which country they are in. This is confirmed at the latest by the warmth with which the hosts greet you. Because the day here is determined by when the sun is over the water, and not by a schedule, there is little more to do in the end than to let it pass.

Rooms

Sixteen Cabañas of the Deluxe category are spread across the property, each with a view of the water. A private plunge pool is included, as well as a private terrace from which you step directly onto the sand. Inside, there is vintage furniture that doesn't look like hotel furnishings, and the only technology that stands out are the Bluetooth speakers. The bathroom continues this restraint, featuring a rain shower and organic care products. Anyone traveling with a dog does not have to give it up for these days.

A bedroom with a double bed featuring white linens under a thatched roof with wooden beams, large open doors leading to an outdoor patio with a hammock and seating area.

Culinary

In the house's restaurant, the flavors of Oaxaca meet international dishes, and because fresh products from the region are used, the connection to the surroundings is recognizable on the plate. This closeness continues while sitting, as the water remains in your field of view during the meal. The operation begins in the morning with breakfast and runs uninterrupted throughout the day. Only after sunset does the kitchen switch to dinner.

Activities

In front of the house lies a beach that extends empty in both directions and allows you to enter the water without complications. Those who want to escape the salt find a fifty-meter long pool on the deck, which is open to all guests. It is quieter in the spa, whose two treatment cabins are used for massages and body treatments; facial care is also included. The same beach that is empty in the morning serves in the evening as a location for private parties that the house organizes with suppliers from the area.

Location

The hotel is located in the Colonia Villas de Tutupec, a quiet residential area on the coast of the state of Oaxaca. Dense vegetation surrounds the property and shields it so much that you hardly notice the neighborhood. It takes about 45 minutes by car to Puerto Escondido, making a day trip to the busier beaches and the center of the coastal town possible. Back in the house, the silence after the hustle and bustle of the city is even more apparent.
