Soul of Puerto Escondido, essence of Mexico.

Adventure, gastronomy, and culture on Zicatela beach, 2 hours from Oaxaca city.

A Story by the Sea

Santa Fe was born out of a love story. In 1974, a couple from California arrived in a virtually deserted Zicatela and knew they had found their place. The dream of a beachfront home became, in 1982, a hotel with just ten rooms and, over the years, one of the most iconic spots on the Oaxacan coast. A gathering place for travelers, surfers, locals, artists, and generations who have made Santa Fe their home by the sea.

Today, Santa Fe is being revitalized by Hamak Hotels, preserving its essence while ensuring comfort: spacious, airy rooms designed for relaxation and a sense of home. Fine dining, a strong connection to the community, and a program of experiences and activities to share the Puerto Escondido and Oaxaca that we know and continue to enjoy discovering alongside our guests.

Accommodations

Havens of freshness, Hotel Santa Fe's rooms, suites, and master suites have clay floors, sumptuous beds, and regional amenities.

The Puerto Escondido We Want to Share

Puerto Escondido keeps the free rhythm of a seaside town that has grown without losing its essence. Surfing, fishing, coffee, gastronomy, and deep Oaxacan roots coexist among beaches and nature. We want to invite you to discover it the way we know it: walk its streets, taste its flavors, meet its people, and let yourself be carried away by its particular way of life.
