Hotel Terrestre, Puerto Escondido
Solar-Powered Serenity in the Oaxacan Jungle
Where Innovation Meets Nature
A bold vision from Grupo Habita, Hotel Terrestre redefines eco-luxury on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Nestled in the Oaxacan jungle, this design-forward retreat is powered entirely by solar energy and uses natural cooling systems in place of air conditioning. The result is a hotel that doesn’t just sit in nature—it lives in harmony with it, balancing sustainability and sophistication.
Earthy Architecture, Grounded Design
Terrestre’s 14 villas are sculpted from concrete, clay, and sand, their tones echoing the jungle and coastline that surround them. Interiors embrace openness: slatted wood doors and windows replace glass, framing gardens and breezeways where light and air flow freely. Each villa offers outdoor bathrooms, terraces with hammocks, and private pools, creating an experience that is both elemental and indulgent. This is luxury without artifice—architecture that feels born of the land, designed to vanish into its environment.
A Hammam as Sculpture
At the heart of the property lies a seven-chamber hammam, a dramatic sanctuary of stepped brick walls, still pools, and filtered light. It’s as much an architectural statement as a wellness experience—a place where the ritual of bathing becomes meditative and timeless.
Sustainability as Philosophy
More than an aesthetic, Terrestre’s design philosophy is ecological. Solar panels power the retreat; open-air construction reduces reliance on artificial systems; and natural materials minimize environmental impact. The hotel embodies a forward-looking model of hospitality: eco-conscious, design-driven, and uncompromising in comfort.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Hotel Terrestre is a masterpiece of sustainable design—where Grupo Habita proves that luxury can be ecological, elemental, and deeply restorative. By merging solar innovation with jungle architecture, it offers travelers a rare experience: a retreat that is as visionary as it is serene. For design seekers and nature lovers alike, Terrestre is the new icon of Puerto Escondido.
