Hotel Escondido

Puerto Escondido

Thatched bungalows with private plunge pools on a quiet beach outside town, designed by Alberto Kalach.

Puerto Escondido, on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, is famous for the Mexican Pipeline, the powerful wave at Zicatela beach. Calmer coves such as Carrizalillo and Puerto Angelito suit swimmers, and the nearby lagoons are home to birds and, at night, glowing bioluminescence. The coast west of town has become a magnet for architects, and its new hotels are among the most talked-about in Mexico.

Where to stay

Zicatela and La Punta are lively and close to the surf. Rinconada is quieter, and the remote stretch of coast to the west has secluded design retreats.

Good to know

The best weather is from November to April. Zicatela's waves are dangerous for swimmers, so choose calmer beaches for a swim. Flights from Mexico City and Oaxaca make the town easy to reach.
