Luxury holidays in Oaxaca

The state of Oaxaca squeezes a lot into its bottleneck borders. Perched on Mexico’s southern curve, its bountiful beaches have long drawn surfers and sun-seekers alike. Inland, pre-Hispanic cultures have left their mark — mysterious pyramid structures, intricate mosaic work — and its rich terrain has plenty of natural wonders too, such as the Hierve el Agua hot springs. But the headline act is its gastronomic endeavours: named Mexico’s food capital, the state’s eponymous city is a melting pot of Mesoamerican culinary traditions.

Destinations in Oaxaca

  • A towering cathedral, lush botanical gardens and rich Zapotec heritage make up the cultural fabric of Oaxaca City, the capital of the eponymous Mexican state.
  • Surfers flock to Puerto Escondido on Oaxaca’s coastline for its stellar waves. But it equally attracts hedonists for its toes-in-sand beach parties; nature-lovers for its whale-watching opportunities; and sybarites for its design and food scenes.
