Hotel Escondido is a low-key luxury escape just outside Puerto Escondido. With its unique location, it offers a private space for guests to pause, think, and surf.
Each bungalow features a thatched palapa roof, private plunge pool, and shaded terrace facing the sea. Interiors are open and airy, finished in polished concrete and wood. Sliding doors connect the indoor space to the outdoors, and there are no televisions in the rooms.
The property is long and narrow, with a wooden boardwalk leading from the bungalows to the main building. The restaurant and infinity pool are under a large open-air palapa. The pool runs parallel to the ocean and is ideal for laps or lounging. A small underground spa near the pool offers massages and body treatments. Hotel Escondido purposefully designs a relaxed, attentive space, so that guests have a place to effortlessly reconnect with both themselves and the world around them.
The restaurant focuses on simple, local flavors—fresh seafood, vegetables, and Oaxacan staples. The menu changes seasonally, and meals are served under the thatched roof or by the pool. The adjacent bar mixes mezcal-forward cocktails and serves cold beer and fresh juice throughout the day.
The hotel is a popular wedding destination, providing future partners a private place to celebrate their special moment with an intimate crowd in a secluded paradise.
Hotel Escondido is a place to disconnect. There’s no nightlife, no nearby towns—just empty beach, warm days, and long, quiet evenings. Guests come here to relax, surf, write, read, and rest.

The hotel attracts an international crowd, mostly couples, creatives, and solo travelers looking for quiet and design. It’s not luxury in the traditional sense, but rather in its secluded space, which is not always easy to come by.
