First In: T+L's Hotel Review of La Valise Mazunte in Oaxaca, Mexico

"Perched on a cliff within the protected El Torón Reserve in Mazunte, Oaxaca, this intimate boutique retreat offers six suites plus a pentagon-shaped villa (Villa Pentágonos) that feels carved from the landscape, with a pentagon infinity pool, multiple sliding doors opening to ocean views, an open-air bathroom, air conditioning, and integrated charging ports. Designed by Alberto Kalach with Ignacio Urquiza and built by hand without heavy machinery, the property emphasizes minimalist, craftsmanship-driven architecture that blends into the cliffs and prioritizes low-impact, locally sourced materials. The single on-site restaurant keeps its menu intentionally balanced — breakfast highlights include memelas, huevos rancheros, chilaquiles and chicken itacates; the all-day and dinner menus feature snacks, salads, a raw bar (shrimp aguachile, hibiscus-marinated ceviche, tuna tostadas), tacos (including octopus), regional entrées like pescado a la talla and shrimp-stuffed eggplant, and desserts such as chocolate tomal and buñuelos, while the beverage list spotlights mezcal alongside Mexican wines and beers. Activities are nature-forward — sunset yoga, mezcal tastings (including a Ruu Piiil tasting), temazcal ceremonies, sea-turtle releases, horseback rides, and access to a tidal secluded beach when conditions permit — and the spa offers in-suite treatments for seamless relaxation. The property welcomes guests aged 12 and older, practices sustainability through local sourcing and low-impact construction, and can accommodate mobility needs with advance coordination and a golf cart for steep terrain. It’s about 1 hour 15 minutes from Puerto Escondido Airport and just under four hours from Oaxaca de Juárez; nightly rates start around $400, and members of the hotel collection’s loyalty program receive perks like early check-in, late check-out, breakfast, and complimentary Wi‑Fi." - Travel + Leisure Editors

La Valise Mazunte hotel | Oaxaca | Smith Hotels

"At adults-only La Valise Mazunte, indoor-outdoor suites put its coastal reserve setting — and accompanying hues of green and blue — on centre stage. Tropical foliage rolls out into an endless expanse of Pacific Ocean, and you can enjoy this wild panorama at the horizon-blurring infinity pools or cliff-tucked private beach. There’s an open-air restaurant and surf-town Mazunte nearby, too, but the hotel's most alluring corner might just be its Alberto Kalach-crafted villa, a Brutalist beacon on the Oaxacan hillside." - Mr & Mrs Smith

What a lovely place to say in Mazunte. La valise is really a treat. It was like being so close to nature and feel it at every moment, the location is gorgeous, the accommodations super luxurious and beautiful I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean waves and seeing the bright blue sky and turquoise water from my own room. ||Love the pool area and lounging in the various places throughout the property. ||The service was impecable and the food was amazing. ||As a travel advisor I tend to be very picky about the places I recommend, but la valise is a place I would definitely come back to and recommended to all of my clients.

We came to Oaxaca for our honeymoon and decided to stay at Velice Mezunte. The room was beautiful and the views were incredible! We especially loved the private pool at our villa. All of the staff were kind and responsive. The waves can be loud so you may want to bring earplugs for sleeping! Also, be warned about the wildlife (e.g., spiders, grasshoppers, and bats). It was an incredible adventure and we highly recommend it to others!

La Valise Mazunte was an incredible experience! From the views, to the food, to the impeccable service, my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The concierge staff is quick to cater to any need, including booking a couples massage that was set up right in our room! You can’t go wrong booking a stay here

La Valise Mazunte was incredible! The views are absolutely stunning, and the whole property is beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. The staff really made the trip — big thanks to Maribel, Flavia, Erasmo, Fernando, and Hector for their amazing service and hospitality. The food and drinks were delicious, wifi was strong and reliable, and the AC kept the rooms very comfortable. We loved having both pools and beach options, with plenty of comfortable seating. They even provided thoughtful extras like sunscreen, shampoo, and bug , repellent and were super helpful with arranging transportation to and from the airport. This was our second great experience with Namron properties — highly recommend and looking forward to coming back!

La Valise Mazunte is an incredible hotel that offers an exclusive and unique experience. I spent a few nights there, and it was magical. The view of the Pacific is breathtaking, with whales and that vast expanse. The infinity pools let you relax in this wonderfully exotic setting. The food is a great way to discover the local culture. It’s a remarkable hotel, and I’ll be coming back very soon.

My experience was absolutely wonderful, always helped by the amazing staff. Everyone was spectacularly friendly and great at what they do. The treated me like I've never been treated before in any hotel around the world. The hotel is breathtakingly beautiful, but just be ready to share your room with a couple lizards and chapulines at night! Can't wait to be back.

Every time I visit La Valise Mazunte it truly feels like home. It’s a paradise! The perfect place to disconnect and relax with the best views. The food was absolutely delicious; they now have a new culinary proposal with more local flavors, and everything was just amazing! The weather was delightful, and even though the hotel was fully booked, there was still a sense of privacy among guests. I definitely can’t wait to come back very soon!

We stayed at La Valise Mazunte in July 2025 and strongly recommend AVOIDING this hotel.||The rooms are not sealed and have no windows, just ill-fitting screens, so animals can enter. We found tarantulas, scorpions, lizards, and even multiple mice running around along with mice droppings, which is unsanitary and a clear health concern.||The air conditioning in the 3 rooms we saw barely, if at all, worked making them unbearably hot and unsleepable. We ended up having to leave early for our safety and comfort, and the hotel refused any refund. Management was dismissive, citing we agreed to stay in a room surrounded by “nature,” instead of apologizing and addressing our concerns about the unsafe conditions.||The hotel is extremely isolated and hard to reach. You have to drive down a long dirt road through the jungle, then navigate steep, winding paths surrounded by dense vegetation and animals, like bats and coatis. To get around the hotel, you either hike the paths or wait for staff to drive you in a bumpy ATV ride. The staff often looked sweaty and exhausted, and on one occasion, they forgot to leave the roadside gate open, leaving us stranded with no cell service. There was no beach access during our stay, and leaving the property is a hassle and risky if you can’t get back in. At night, you’re essentially stuck in your room due to the darkness and to avoid bugs and bats. The pool and view are beautiful, and the restaurant staff do their best, but the food is only average for the price.||There’s a big difference between seeing wildlife outdoors and finding rodents and droppings in your bedroom. This is not what we signed up for, especially at this price point, and we strongly do NOT recommend this hotel until they make major improvements.
