4- and 5-star hotels in Santa Maria Huatulco
A shortlist of 14 four- and five-star hotels in Santa Maria Huatulco, from all-inclusive beach resorts to small hillside properties, chosen for travellers comparing where to base themselves on Oaxaca's coast.
Staying in Santa Maria Huatulco
Huatulco is a stretch of Pacific coastline in Oaxaca built around a series of bays. The bays are explored by boat: the classic tour visits five or seven with snorkelling stops, and beaches like Cacaluta or La India have no paved access. The sun here is fierce year-round, and the airport has few flights, so lock yours in before building the rest of the trip.
The hotels here sit along the main coastal boulevard and around the bays. Several are on Boulevard Benito Juárez at Bahía Tangolunda or Bahía de Conejos, others on Boulevard Benito Juárez or Boulevard Santa Cruz near the town side, and a few inland in Crucecita, Residencial Conejos or Colonia Mirador Chahue. Couples, families and short-break visitors will all find something: adults-only houses, large all-inclusive resorts, and smaller hotels with pools and beach nearby.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
The airport has few flights, so lock yours in before building the rest of the trip. The bays are explored by boat: the classic tour visits five or seven with snorkelling stops, and beaches like Cacaluta or La India have no paved access. Several hotels sit on the main coastal boulevard, which makes moving between the bay resorts and the town side straightforward by road.
When to go
The sun here is fierce year-round, so plan for strong sun whatever month you travel. Beyond that, the site gives no season-by-season guidance for Santa Maria Huatulco; the one timing point it does make is about flights, and that the airport has few of them. Book your flight before building the rest of the trip around it.
