Luxury holidays in Puerto Escondido

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 bioluminescent lagoons; and sybarites for its design and food scenes.

When to go

Sunny, dry days mark November to April, but surf bums will like May to October for prime wave-riding conditions.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Regional connections and some flights from the States touch down at Puerto Escondido International Airport, which is roughly 15 minutes’ drive from the town and its beaches.

  • Automobiles

    Opt for two wheels instead of four by renting a scooter, a nifty way to take in the coastline’s coves. Otherwise, leave the driving to someone else with taxis or transfers.
