Casona Sforza
Bohemian sustainable luxury. Raw-brick vernacular architecture, artisan textiles, hammocks, and vaulted ceilings — earthy and minimal, but genuinely refined. Think barefoot-chic for adults who care about design and provenance.

Why It Matters
Designed by Alberto Kalach (of TAX Architects), with interiors by MOB Studio, Casona Sforza is one of the most architecturally significant new hotels in Mexico. It has been featured in Architectural Digest, Dezeen, Dwell, ArchDaily, and Interior Design Magazine. La Bóveda restaurant holds a Michelin Guide listing. The hotel is also a genuine social enterprise — 100% of earnings fund Pueblo del Sol, a community development project. Named Best Boutique Hotel 2025 by MEXBEST.
Casona Sforza is an 11-suite adults-only beachfront resort that opened in December 2020 on the wild southern edge of Puerto Escondido. Designed by Mexico City architect Alberto Kalach, its signature antiseismic vaulted arches create a natural telescope effect — drawing the eye from Pacific waves through to jungle — while keeping the interiors cool without air conditioning. The whole project funds Pueblo del Sol, a community initiative in the Oaxacan mountains run by founder Ezequiel Ayarza Sforza, and that mission runs through every detail: locally made furniture, in-house organic toiletries, and a Michelin Guide restaurant pulling ingredients from nearby farms and mountain cooperatives.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Hot Tub Master Suite
From USD639 / nightThe top suite. Top floor with panoramic ocean views and a signature egg-shaped hot tub on a spacious private terrace — designed for two. This is the room if you're celebrating something or want the full drama of the architecture at its most generous. King bed, vaulted ceilings, and designer hydromassage included.
King
Private Pool Junior Suite
From USD439 / nightGround-floor suite with direct beach access and its own private plunge pool on the terrace. King-size bed, vaulted ceiling, natural textures, and all the beach sounds you can handle. The smallest footprint at the hotel, but the private pool and proximity to the sand more than compensate.
KingPrivate Pool Senior Suite
From USD497 / nightLarger ground-floor suite with a private pool, lounge area, and direct beach access. The extra square footage makes for a more spacious living setup than the Junior version, and the terrace catches sunset light beautifully.
King
Seafront Junior Suite
From USD486 / nightUpper-floor suite with full sea views, a hammock on the terrace, and a handmade wooden bathtub stocked with locally sourced bath amenities. No private pool, but the views and the tub are the trade-off.
KingSeafront Senior Suite
From USD521 / nightTop-floor suite with privileged ocean views, a hammock on a generous terrace, and an artisan wooden soaking tub with local ingredient bath products. Mr & Mrs Smith calls this the best room for view-obsessed guests — and the hammock setup is hard to argue with.
