Casa Yuma
Barefoot minimalist luxury. Surf-cool meets Oaxacan craftsmanship. Low-profile chukum-plastered buildings, neutral earthy tones, artisan ceramic lamps, handwoven textiles, and a sand-level firepit lounge that doubles as the social hub after dark.
Day passes are available for MXN 2,200 (includes MXN 700 F&B credit and a welcome drink)—a good way to try the pool and restaurant without booking a room
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide-listed property that opened in 2024 to immediate attention from Vogue, GQ, Forbes, and Architectural Digest. The design uses indigenous Mexican materials in a way that feels genuinely rooted rather than decorative. Chef Francisco Martínez Cruz leads Mesa del Sol with an unusual Asian-Oaxacan hybrid menu that is a destination in its own right.
Casa Yuma is a 25-room adults-only boutique hotel sitting right on Playa La Ventanilla, about 30 minutes outside the main Puerto Escondido strip. It opened in 2024, designed by architect Ricardo de La Concha of TAAC studio using local materials—chukum resin, Oaxacan brick, macuil wood—and feels more like a considered design project than a typical hotel. The 25-meter pool runs parallel to the Pacific, every room has a king bed and rain shower, and the on-site restaurant Mesa del Sol turns out genuinely exciting food.
