Raíz, a refuge in Puerto Escondido where the dreams of two young entrepreneurs have become a unique experience. Here, every corner is steeped in history, respect for nature and a deep connection with the essence of the place.

We invite you to discover why Raíz is not just a hotel, but a journey towards authenticity and balance.

Why Puerto Escondido?

Choosing Puerto Escondido as the home of Hotel Raíz was not a whim, but a decision to be made with every sense. For Pier and Ainoa, the founders of Raíz, Puerto Escondido represented far more than a tourist destination.

Puerto Escondido, on the coast of Oaxaca, is the ideal destination for anyone looking for a genuine escape. Known for its unspoilt beaches and its vibrant local life, this coastal paradise offers the perfect setting to disconnect from everyday stress and connect with what matters.

The beauty of its landscapes, the warmth of its people and the calm atmosphere make it the ideal place to establish a boutique hotel that celebrates authenticity and balance.

Preserving the past, embracing the future.

This story wouldn't be complete without Don Felipe, the previous owner of the land. His deep bond with the place and the moving farewell to the old house left an indelible mark on Pier and Ainoa.

When they found the land, they saw beyond bricks and timber: they saw the history and the care Felipe had invested in that space.

They promised not only to preserve the original structure, but also to honour his legacy, integrating the old house into the design of the new hotel. That promise became the essence of the project, keeping a piece of the past and weaving it into the future.

Growing strong.

At Hotel Raíz, every detail has been carefully designed to connect guests with the essence of Oaxaca. Just as shoots emerge from the earth, we work to enrich your experience with a combination of natural elements, architecture inspired by its surroundings and a focus on sustainability.
