Just one block from the condo (formerly at the marina Chahué) if you walk opposite side of the Chedraui, you will find my favorite place for an Italian diner! Delicious authentic Italian food and you will be welcomed by the friendly owner. The shrimp and rosé sauce pasta is delicious!
A bit more expensive but it’s a must while in Huatulco! We also like to order pizza there and take out for a more affordable experience.

0.4 km from the condo, accross beautiful Guelaguetza park and in the Marina Park condo building, you will find El Cajún restaurant. They have a superb terrasse if you enjoy eating outside.
I recommend their delicious Spinach salad and if you like meat (so far best meat I’ve tried in Huatulco) try their Parillada to share. I’ve also tried and loved their shrimp and steak skewers. I heard that their wings were excellent too and they also serve breakfast.
Open daily 8am- 11pm

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Huatulco, and I’m not the only one because it’s always full. You will need to make a reservation. The owners are both chefs who traveled the world. Braulio is in the kitchen and Francia is at service. They put their heart in their business and everything on the menu is delicious. Very affordable for the quality. Try their Pad Thai and keep some space for their Chocolate Lava cake for desert!! Located at the square in Santa Cruz area (15 min walk or 35 pesos in taxi)

This is your higher end beach club, restaurant/bar/pool/gym. It’s located on Chahué beach which is a 10 minutes walk. It offers stunning views on the ocean and it’s also a good place for a party or a wedding. Their chicken caprese and chocolate mousse are to die for!!
They have pool-side yoga classes early morning at sunrise. Also, spinning/disco classes and pool aerobics.

Ideal place for breakfast, try to go early because this is a local favorite and can quickly get full. Here you will find Huatulco’s best coffee. Max the owner knows a lot about coffee. Try the double shot cappuccino and the fresh baked rolls in the morning! You won’t be disappointed!

Cute romantic venue to eat an excellent wood oven pizza. Their goat cheese and prosciutto salad is excellent too! I recommend sharing a salad and a pizza. Their portions are generous.

Beaches beaches beaches!
You must visit this stunning beach!! It’s my favorite one. This is the place for meditation, surf or a long romantic walk on the beach. I suggest you begin by having lunch at Los Guerros restaurant and to order a Margarita (careful, they are delicious but strong, the real deal!), an incredibly delicious fish burger and homemade fries.
Then, if the sea level permits it, walk all the way to the laguna (Rio Copalita, where the river meets the ocean) where you will discover many exotic birds. You can swim in the warm waters of the laguna, just be careful: not to close to the ocean!!
Bonus: It’s never crowded, chances are you might fall asleep to the sound of the waves.
On your way back, you might also want to try the new pretty Mezcal bar where you can have tapas and mezcal-based cocktails. The pear, strawberry, prosciutto and boconccini skewers are delicious.
Taxi cost is approx 100 pesos each way. Don’t forget your hat and your sunscreen! Tip: Ask your taxi driver to come back and pick you up for your return.

Small beach with clear and calm waters and good snorkeling. Only one beach restaurant. I recommend a delicious lunch of assorted shrimps with a cold beer. « A la diabla » if you enjoy spicy!
This is the shared beach with high-end Cosmos Residences condos but usually not crowded. Not too many vendors either. You will need to take a taxi to get there and you can ask the driver to come back to pick you up. There’s a few steps to walk down to the beach but they are not steep. Public toilets (small fee) are clean.

This is your closest beach and our favorite in the area because it’s rarely crowded and there’s very few beach vendors. It’s approx 8-10 minutes walk from the condo and you will enjoy the beautiful park and scenery along the way!
Chahué is the best spot for gorgeous sunrises! Locals gather to exercise in the morning. The beach is certified Blue Flag (cleanest beach). Please be careful if you swim, there is under current here and some days, the sea can be rough. Tip: early mornings generally offer calmer and warmer waters. Combine a sunrise and a swim, it might be one of your most memorable moments in Huatulco. Depending of the season, sunrise in usually around 6:30 am.
There is also a high-end Beach Club here called Sea Soul where you can spend the day for a fixed price (I think it’s around 650 pesos per person) and enjoy a stunning infinity pool and a very good restaurant called Clio’s. Check it out in my other recommendations.
Another great option is Quinta Bella hotel where you will find 5 great restaurants. We like to walk in by the beach in the morning and enjoy breakfast with a view. Their French toast and hot cocoa are to die for!!

This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful beaches in Huatulco. It’s also the best place for easy snorkeling as the reef is right there at your feet. The sand is white, water is super blue, waves are gentle.
Plan ahead and prepare for a longer taxi ride to get there, it’s approx one hour drive. Usually the taxi driver can wait for you until you are ready to come back.
For more fun, you can also take a taxi-boat to get there and enjoy the magnificent coast along the way. You might encounter dolphins and whales.

This is a gorgeous virgin beach! No restaurants and no beach vendors. Very quiet and chances are you might be the only ones there. You will need to ask a taxi driver to drop you off (along the road) and walk about 5-10 minutes on a natural path to get to the beach.
Make sure to bring beach towels, sunscreen and a hat (there is no place to hide from the sun). Pack a cooler with a light lunch and refreshments.
You will have fun looking at all the little crabs playing hide and seek.
...And please don’t leave anything behind except footsteps when you leave! ;)
