ROOTED in the ABUNDANCE, MAGIC & CREATIVITY of the NATURAL WORLD

The Soul of Mazunte

THE SOUL OF MAZUNTE

Mazunte derives its name from the Nahuatl phrase “maxotetia”, which roughly translates into “let me see you spawn”- a reference to the sea turtles that migrate to the area to lay their eggs Mazunte is a place rooted in spirituality, and at the same time, connection to our natural world.

In that spirit, each of our casitas is named for a Zapotec tona- animal spirits that they believe protect you and guide you through this life and into the next. In Zapotec tradition, your tona is assigned at birth, and serves as both protector in our physical world, as well our spiritual guide into the next

A few options include: enjoying a sunset hike to Punta Cometa; tasting coffee in Pluma del Hidalgo; surf lesson at the world-famous breaks of Puerto Escondido or Barra de Navidad; chartering a boat to visit las Bahias de Hualtulco; or, taking a lancha with a local captain to see turtles and whales…La Costa Chica is overflowing with opportunities to enjoy the nature around you.

Our team is also happy to recommend restaurants and bars in the neighboring towns of Zipolite and San Agustinillo, as well as Mazunte, for guests who prefer to keep their adventures on the culinary side.

LOCATION / CONTACT

Mazunte is ideally located about halfway between Puerto Escondido and Huatulco, roughly an hour drive to either. Both cities offer convenient airports with domestic and international arrivals and departures. If you are driving, thanks to the opening of the long-awaited highway from Oaxaca, we are about a three-hour drive from the vibrant state capital, Oaxaca de Juarez.

Our hotel is about a 15-minute walk from the main beach of Mazunte, Playa Rinconcito. A delightful stroll down the main street, which dead ends into the beach, treats visitors to a variety of small, locally owned juice bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and bars. The laid-back fishing town of San Agustinillo is about a 25-minute walk away or a short taxi ride; the festive town of Zipolite, known for its nightlife, is a little further down the road but still accessible by a 10-15 min taxi ride.
