Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca

The crown jewel of Mexico's Emerald Coast — a world of natural beauty, legendary surf, and authentic coastal charm.

Discover the Emerald Coast

Puerto Escondido sits along Oaxaca's stunning Pacific shoreline, a stretch so lush and vibrant it's known as the Emerald Coast. About eight miles from the nearest town, Vivo Resorts occupies a secluded stretch of Playa Palmarito — far from crowds, yet close to everything that makes this region unforgettable.

Here, the rhythm of the ocean sets the pace. Mornings bring golden light over quiet sands; afternoons invite exploration of nearby beaches, markets, and coastal trails. Whether you seek adventure or stillness, Puerto Escondido delivers both in equal measure.

Beaches & Surf

Puerto Escondido is world-renowned for its beaches. Zicatela Beach draws surfers from across the globe to ride the famous Mexican Pipeline — a powerful, barreling wave that ranks among the best on the planet. For those who prefer gentler waters, Playa Carrizalillo and Playa Bacocho offer calm, swimmable coves framed by rocky headlands.

Each November, the community comes alive with a surf tournament at Zicatela and a sport fishing tournament targeting sailfish — traditions that celebrate the deep connection between this town and the sea.
