Mezcal Moon

Wedged between the Sierra Madre mountains and the Pacific, this beachfront house delivers the kind of setting where the ocean fills every sightline. The palapa living area – open to the breeze under a thatched roof – makes it easy to lose track of time, and the pool terrace sits close enough to the water that stepping from a swim to the sand takes seconds. Designed by Bosco Sodi with original artworks on site, the interiors have real depth. On-site staff handle cooking, grocery runs, and transport, so the day's biggest decision is whether to catch a wave or stay put.

Home truths:
* The cook's labour is included in your stay, but food costs are separate – you'll choose from a menu and your host's team will handle the grocery shopping on your behalf.
* The homes are open-concept in design, so there is limited separation between indoor and outdoor areas – worth bearing in mind if you prefer a more enclosed space at night.
* You're on a remote stretch of coast, a drive away from Puerto Escondido town, so we recommend arranging transport in advance rather than relying on walking or passing taxis – your host's team can coordinate this for you.
* The swimming pool isn't fenced.
* Daily cleaning is included in your stay here.
