Our Habitas Mazunte will comprise 28 rooms perched in the jungle, all with Pacific Ocean views, each meticulously designed with attention to detail, offering a serene escape. In classic Our Habitas style, the hotel experience will be built around human connection inspired by guest programming across wellness, adventure, music, art, food and learning. Featured activities will include surfing, snorkeling, hiking and turtle liberations. Located approximately 1 hour drive from Puerto Escondido and Huatulco airport, Our Habitas Mazunte will be perfectly situated to offer a tranquil sanctuary for guests seeking solace in Mexico's Oaxaca region.
Wellness will be a key element of the resort, which will be focused on holistic rejuvenation and longevity. Guests can explore different treatments in the spa that meld ancient spiritual techniques with advanced wellness practices. Activities will include multiple modalities of yoga, breathwork, HIIT classes at the jungle gym, and the spa will include a barrel sauna, jacuzzi and cold plunge. For those seeking a traditional healing experience, the Temazcal will further offer a Mayan ceremonial experience to cleanse and rejuvenate both the body and the mind.
The Clubhouse will serve as the main gathering space for guests, where they can enjoy the panoramic pool and expansive views, or indulge themselves in the local flavors and culinary traditions of the region, created in the property's open-air kitchen. A mezcal & tea bar will further offer healthy smoothies, teas, locally-inspired cocktails and more during the day.
The town of Mazunte offers small boutiques stores, local restaurants and proximity to some of the best surf breaks on the West coast of Mexico. Mazunte, a 'pueblo mágico', is known for its laid back beach community and colorful side streets, a yoga mecca, and is considered to be one of Mexico's best kept secrets. Referred to as a hippie town, it is becoming increasingly popular amongst gypset travelers. The Mexican Turtle Centre can also be found in Mazunte, home to sea turtle aquariums and carries out research and conservation works.
With architectural and interior design inspired by the natural colors and materials of the region, the newest Our Habitas home will seamlessly blend into the surrounding natural environment, harmonizing this location's dramatic cliffs, golden beaches and lush jungle that define Mazunte as one of Mexico's beloved "pueblo mágicos."
Beyond the unparalleled beauty of Mazunte, Our Habitas is committed to fostering social and environmental sustainability within the local communities. Through the Habitas RISE initiative, the brand will actively support conscious tourism in Oaxaca, Mexico, while contributing to their fund for every guest. This philanthropic effort aims to make a positive impact on the local community and preserve the natural beauty of the region.
Mazunte will be the brand's newest "home" in Mexico, with plans to expand further within the region. The rapidly-growing Our Habitas portfolio already includes renowned properties in Tulum, Bacalar, and San Miguel in Mexico, as well as one-of-a-kind concepts in Namibia, Morocco, upstate New York, and AlUla in Saudi Arabia. Other eagerly-anticipated openings that were recently announced include Habitas Atacama, in Chile, this September; and Habitas Santa Teresa, in Costa Rica, this December.
