During more than 30 years in the hospitality industry, I've learned that every destination has a story to tell, and Oaxaca's Emerald Coast is no exception. I began this journey with friends in Puerto Escondido, a town that, while evolving, maintains its authentic and natural charm. Known for having some of Mexico's largest waves, it's a paradise for surfers, but also a place where tranquility is ever-present.
Puerto Escondido's New Luxury Era
This trip is best experienced by car, allowing you to explore the Oaxacan coast at your own pace. One must-visit spot is La Barra, just minutes from downtown Puerto Escondido. For those looking to disconnect, I recommend staying at Casona Sforza, a hotel with a unique design and an exceptional restaurant worth visiting, even just for its culinary offerings. As you continue toward Zicatela and its beaches, you'll notice how this area has evolved into a more cosmopolitan destination, featuring new restaurants and boutique hotels catering to the luxury lifestyle segment, such as Casa TO, Punta Nayaá, Bora Boutique, and the soon-to-open Casa Umi. Each establishment reflects the region's essence, offering immersive and personalized experiences designed for ultimate relaxation.
