Location: Puerto Escondido, Mexico

7 bedrooms, sleeps 16.

Price: From $1,450 USD per night

Casa Nova is a seven-bedroom oceanview estate on the hillside above Puerto Escondido, built under a traditional palapa roof that keeps the interiors cooler than a concrete slab would. It sleeps sixteen with seven and a half bathrooms, and bedroom two carries a crib. The infinity pool faces the Pacific with a rooftop jacuzzi above it for sunset, and a cinema lounge inside seats the whole group. The real asset is a private path down to the beach, around three minutes on foot. Town and the surf breaks are ten to fifteen minutes by road. Daily cleaning is included and the minimum stay is two nights. | Location: Puerto Escondido, Mexico | Bedrooms: 7 | Guests: 16 | Price: From $1,450 USD per night | Top Amenities: Infinity pool, Rooftop jacuzzi, Cinema lounge | Best For: Multi-family groups, Friend groups, Surfers

Casa Nova spreads sideways across the hillside rather than stacking up it. Seven bedrooms under a traditional palapa roof, an infinity pool facing the Pacific, a rooftop jacuzzi above it and a cinema lounge inside for the hours when the sun is winning. A private path runs from the property down to the sand, which is the detail that separates this from every clifftop house on the same coast.

Above Puerto Escondido

The estate sits elevated with a panoramic outlook and a path of its own to the water, so it gets the view without giving up access. Puerto Escondido town and the surf breaks are ten to fifteen minutes by road. This part of Oaxaca runs on its own schedule: sunrise yoga at La Punta, ceviche at the Rinconada palapas, and the biggest swell between May and October.

Inside the estate

Seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms. Four hold king beds, two of those with an extra single, and the remaining rooms mix a queen with singles, which is how the house reaches sixteen. Bedroom two carries a crib, so an infant does not require a plan. The palapa roof is doing thermal work as well as aesthetic work: it keeps the interiors noticeably cooler than a concrete slab would. Seven bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, sleeps sixteen. Four rooms with king beds, two of them with an additional single. One room with a queen and two singles, one with a queen and a single. A crib in bedroom two. Cinema lounge seating the whole group. Traditional palapa roof construction keeping interiors cool. Daily cleaning included

Pool, roof and the path down

The infinity pool faces the Pacific, the rooftop jacuzzi sits above it for the sunset, and terraces step between the two. The private beach path is the real asset: a three-minute walk down rather than a drive and a car park, which over a week with a group of sixteen is the difference between going to the beach daily and going twice. Infinity pool overlooking the Pacific. Rooftop jacuzzi for sunset. Private path down to the beach, around three minutes on foot. Ocean-view terraces on multiple levels

The coast from here

The private path gives you a beach morning without logistics. Beyond that, Zicatela is the spectator break and the current there is genuinely dangerous for swimming, so lessons happen at Carrizalillo or La Punta instead. The Manialtepec lagoon glows after dark. And the good tacos are in town rather than on the strip, which the group will work out on night two anyway. Private beach path from the property. Zicatela to watch, Carrizalillo or La Punta to learn. Bioluminescent lagoon at Manialtepec after dark. Biggest swell May to October, calmer seas November to April

Best For

Multi-family groups of up to sixteen. Families with an infant, since a crib is on site. Surf trips wanting a beach path rather than a beach drive. Milestone celebrations with a cinema lounge for the group
