Fully staffed beachfront villas with chef, butler & concierge on Oaxaca’s Pacific coast — world-class surf, hidden beaches & authentic Mexican culture
Clifftop Pacific estates and beachfront retreats with full staff — steps from Zicatela, Carrizalillo & La Punta
Puerto Escondido is Oaxaca’s Pacific coast jewel — home to the legendary Zicatela surf break, the sheltered turquoise cove of Carrizalillo, the bohemian scene at La Punta, and some of Mexico’s most authentic cuisine. Unlike resort destinations, Puerto Escondido feels raw, real, and untouched. A staffed villa here means Pacific sunsets from your infinity pool, a private chef preparing Oaxacan specialties, and a concierge who knows the best mezcal bars, hidden beaches, and fishing boats.
Villa Experience has curated luxury villa rentals in Puerto Escondido since expanding to Oaxaca’s coast. Every property is personally vetted, every stay includes private chef, housekeeping, and dedicated concierge. Our local team arranges surf lessons on Zicatela, boat trips to bioluminescent lagoons at Manialtepec, sea turtle release experiences, Oaxaca city day trips, mezcal tastings, and traditional temazcal ceremonies. Puerto Escondido is where luxury meets authenticity.
The best time to visit Puerto Escondido is from November through May, when skies are clear, humidity is low, and temperatures average 80–90°F (27–32°C). December through March is peak season with the driest weather and best whale-watching. For surfers, the biggest swells hit Zicatela from May through September — this is also when the famous Puerto Escondido pipeline is at its most powerful. Sea turtle nesting season runs from July through December, with releases you can witness firsthand. The rainy season (June–October) brings afternoon showers that rarely last long and keep the landscape lush and green.
Puerto Escondido has several distinct beaches, each with its own character. Zicatela is the world-famous surf beach with powerful barrels — best for experienced surfers and spectators. Carrizalillo is a sheltered turquoise cove reached by stairs, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. La Punta has a mellow beach break ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers, plus a laid-back restaurant and bar scene. Bacocho is a long, dramatic beach with clifftop villas and Pacific sunset views. Playa Principal (near El Adoquín) is the town beach with fishing boats and local flavor. Most of our villas are within walking distance or a short drive from multiple beaches.
Every Puerto Escondido villa booked through Villa Experience includes a private chef or cook (2–3 meals per day, groceries at cost), daily housekeeping, and a dedicated concierge. Your chef specializes in Oaxacan cuisine — expect mole negro, tlayudas, fresh-caught seafood, and mezcal cocktails. Your concierge arranges surf lessons, boat trips to Manialtepec bioluminescent lagoon, sea turtle release experiences, Oaxaca city day trips (1.5 hours by car or 25-minute flight), mezcal distillery visits, traditional temazcal ceremonies, fishing trips, and in-villa massage and spa treatments.
Puerto Escondido is one of the world’s top surf destinations. Zicatela Beach is famous for its powerful pipeline break — nicknamed the “Mexican Pipeline” — and hosts international competitions. It’s strictly for experienced surfers. La Punta offers a gentler beach break perfect for beginners and intermediate surfers, with multiple surf schools and board rentals. Carrizalillo has small, playful waves in a protected cove, ideal for first-timers. Your concierge arranges private surf lessons with local instructors for all levels. The biggest swells arrive from May through September, but there’s rideable surf year-round.
Puerto Escondido has its own airport (PXM) with direct flights from Mexico City (approximately 1 hour 15 minutes on Volaris and VivaAerobus). There are also connecting flights through Oaxaca city (OAX). From Oaxaca city, it’s a scenic 6–7 hour drive through the Sierra Madre mountains, or a 25-minute domestic flight. There are no direct international flights, so most international travelers connect through Mexico City or Oaxaca. Your concierge arranges private airport transfers from PXM to your villa, typically 15–30 minutes depending on location.

We’ll send a curated shortlist within 24 hours. A 50% deposit secures your villa, with the balance due 60 days before arrival.

Verified 5-star reviews from guests who booked luxury villa stays in Puerto Escondido
Posted on Alyssa GustafsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100000/10! Where to even begin! Our stay at Las Villas for my husband's 40th birthday was perfect from start to finish. All 15 of us had a perfect stay. The rooms are extremely well cleaned, decorated, and taken care of. The pool and views are extremely Instagrammable!! The food was delicious, fresh, and all allergies/accommodations were followed. Most importantly, the staff is INCREDIBLE. They were so sweet and attentive. Jose Luis and Damian were the best bartenders. The concierge, Alexa, helped us schedule transportation, dinner reservations, a Mariachi band, a birthday cake, and more. We wouldn't have changed a thing and hope to be back. Thank you, Las Villas!!Posted on Sharon LarkinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Villa Experience did an amazing job with our rental in Puerto Vallarta!

Villa Experience was super easy to communicate and work with! Albriet was who i spoke too and she went out of her way to make the transaction smooth.

We will never forget this experience, and we cannot wait to return. **Highest possible recommendation - this place is pure magic!**Posted on Christine CorlettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our stay at Casa Nahui was absolutely unbelievable! There were five of us ladies celebrating our birthdays, and the only downside was having to leave. Accommodations: The house was beautiful with plenty of space for a large group. The layout of the house provided enough room for everyone to come together and also have some alone time when needed. The only minor issue was that the beds were quite hard; a mattress topper would have been great. Other than that, everything was perfection. Staff: I cannot say enough about the wonderful staff. From the house managers, butler, chefs, housekeepers, to the concierges and drivers, everyone was incredibly attentive, kind, and simply the sweetest group. We were sad to leave them but look forward to seeing them again when we return. Overall, Casa Nahui exceeded our expectations and made our birthday celebration truly special. A highly recommended stay!Posted on Ruben EstevezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot adequately express how delightful our stay was at Las Villas!

Disfrutamos mucho la casa, un servicio inmejorable y una comida de estrella Michellin, Pani el Chef es increíble al igual q Enrique, Caro y July q hicieron nuestra estancia muy agradable, felicidades a todo el staffPosted on A. AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Like so many of the previous reviews, I cannot rave enough about Casa Peregrina and the amazing time that we had as 5 families with 10 adults and 10 children! Our vacation took place at the end of June which is part of the rainy and humid season but the house was comfortable with rooms having split unit ACs and the cool breeze of the water made hanging outside by the pool very enjoyable. The house exceeded our expectations as far as size and gathering places. The outdoor palapa was perfect to hang out and relax as a group. The amazing view of Banderas Bay was constantly changing with the sunsets, storms, and blue bird days. Albriet and Rocio at Villa Experience were incredibly communicative in the booking process and Albriet answered what felt like a million questions with so much patience and clarity. We loved our concierge Miguel and our bar men, Alex and Osvaldo. Our behind the scenes staff of the kitchen, Edwin, Oscar and Omar made the most delicious food and allowed us to truly enjoy a vacation without cooking and cleaning and grocery shopping. Cooking for such a large group is no easy feat but every meal was fresh and beautifully plated and the salsas…our group is still dreaming of all the fresh salsa and guacamole. We spent 7 nights in paradise and each dinner was a different table setting which we all loved. And of course, our cheerful cleaning ladies, Lizz and Mari, were always so pleasant and did the best job tidying up our rooms. Our children loved the small touches such as the perfect placement of stuffed animals in a perfectly made bed. The adults loved the fresh flowers in the bathroom. The service from beginning to end was top notch and truly bespoke. I cannot recommend Casa Peregrina enough and we were truly so sad to leave because we made the best memories.Load more
