When it comes to Mexican beach destinations, most people think of places like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta or Los Cabos – but there are so many other places to visit. One of these is Bahia de la Luna, a secluded cove and hotel in the state of Oaxaca. With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation, Bahia de la Luna is quickly becoming one of Mexico’s most popular destinations.

This Hidden Hotel in Oaxaca Is the Most Peaceful Way to Have a Mexico Beach Vacation
Unlike other popular beach destinations in Mexico, Bahia de la Luna is relatively untouched by tourism. The beach is clean, and the sand is soft and powdery, perfect for long walks and sunbathing. The water is also crystal clear, making it an excellent spot for swimming and snorkeling. One of the most fun ways to explore the beach is to take a walk and discover the hidden coves and other secluded spots along the way.
Another standout feature of Bahia de la Luna is the lush vegetation surrounding it. The beach sits between two mountains, and the landscape is a mix of tropical forests and mangroves, and you’ll find several hiking trails that lead you through the mountains.
The hotel itself, situated just off the beach, offers a range of accommodation options, including bungalows, casitas, and suites, all designed with an eco-design aesthetic that blends in seamlessly with the environment. The rooms are spacious and airy, with thatched roofs, comfy beds, and private balconies or terraces. The organic toiletries provided are a great touch and a testament to the hotel’s commitment to sustainable tourism. Apart from chilling on the beach, guests can participate in turtle release events, fish, or take advantage of the hotel’s yoga classes and massage therapy services.
