New Boutique Resort in Oaxaca, Mexico, Heats Up Winter Travel Kristine Hansen - Fodor's Travel

Carlos Couturier and Moises Micha speak about their Mexico based Grupo Habita and the formula and philosphy that makes every hotel a true original. (Design Hotels)

The Grupo Habita hotel group is known for its design-centric boutique hotels, with 14 properties in locations such as Playa del Carmen, Veracruz, and Mexico City, Mexico, as well as New York City.

Now, the Mexico-based hotel group expands to Oaxaca, Mexico, with the December 1 opening of Hotel Escondido, just north of the village of Puerto Escondido. It's tucked between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre del Sur mountain range. Sixteen beachfront bungalows featuring palapa (open-air and thatched) roofs - each with its own plunge pool and outdoor hammock - contribute to a surfer-glam vibe, appropriately so, as the destination has long been a haven for wanderlust surfers. Nearby Zicatela Beach is one of the world's most famous surf spots, while non-surfers can enjoy water sports like kayaking and sailing.

Mexican architect Federico Rivera Rio engineered the design so that it's authentically beachy, including floors constructed from tropical woods and lots of natural light that spills through wooden slats. For a little bit of pampering, in-room massages can be arranged through the hotel.
