Montserrat Reserve is a private eco retreat set on cultivated land near the beaches and lagoons of Chacahua. Five independent villas, a natural pool, organic gardens, and a philosophy of slow living — designed for guests who want more than a place to sleep. This is a place to breathe.
Most eco hotels in Oaxaca offer a label. Montserrat Reserve offers a way of living. Every decision — from the solar panels to the garden beds to the open-air architecture — was made to create an experience where nature is not a backdrop but the foundation.
Five independent casas, each with its own garden, terrace, and open-air living area. No shared walls, no corridors, no lobby. Every villa at this eco retreat is a private world designed for stillness and comfort.
No chlorine. No concrete edges. Our natural pool uses biological filtration and native aquatic plants to keep the water crystal clear. It sits among the trees as if it has always been here, fed by the land itself.
Vegetables, herbs, and tropical fruit grown on-site supply the kitchen daily. Guests at Montserrat Reserve eat what the land produces — meals prepared with ingredients harvested that morning from our Oaxacan soil.
This eco hotel runs entirely on solar energy and rainwater harvesting systems. We built Montserrat Reserve to prove that comfort and sustainability are not opposites — they are the same design decision.
No televisions. No crowds. No rush. The rhythm here follows the sun, the tides near Chacahua, and the seasons of the garden. This is an eco retreat built around the idea that doing less is the real luxury.
Each casa at this Chacahua eco retreat is an independent structure with its own personality, garden view, and private terrace. Built with local materials — adobe, reclaimed wood, palm thatch — and designed for open-air living in the Oaxacan climate. No two are the same, but all share the same commitment to comfort, privacy, and connection with the land.
View all five casas →At Montserrat Reserve, sustainability is not a marketing claim — it is the structure of every day. The organic garden supplies the kitchen with seasonal produce. Rainwater is collected and filtered. Solar energy powers every villa. Composting returns nutrients to the soil. This eco hotel near Chacahua was designed to take less from the land than it gives back.
Guests are welcome to walk the garden rows, pick herbs for their morning tea, or simply sit beneath the fruit trees and watch the Oaxacan light change. The experience of this eco retreat is shaped by the seasons — what grows, what ripens, what the land offers each week.
Montserrat Reserve sits on the Costa Chica of Oaxaca, within reach of the Chacahua lagoons and beaches but set apart from the noise of tourist corridors. The nearest airport is Puerto Escondido (PXM), a scenic drive of approximately one hour and forty minutes through the Oaxacan coast. From there, the road narrows, the air changes, and the pace begins to slow long before you arrive.
Chacahua beach — one of the most pristine stretches of Pacific coastline in Mexico — is just twelve minutes away by boat across the lagoon. It is the kind of place where the sand is empty, the water is warm, and the horizon is unbroken. This eco retreat was sited here deliberately: close enough to explore, quiet enough to restore.
