Oaxaca: Escapes for the Taste

The air is dry and the warmth of the sun rests upon your skin. You move ever so slightly from your bed to open up the shutters of your window. As you gaze out, your eyes feast upon the distinct hues of Maya blue, Aztec red, and Quetzal green. Oaxaca’s religious monuments and classical patrician townhouses are lined along the streets with its colonial dwellings. For a moment, you are back in time. But the smell of fresh tortillas, eggs, and coffee reminds you that you have escaped. You have left your normal everyday life for a retreat. And this retreat’s name is Oaxaca.

Yoga is offered in the early morning. Following, you stroll down to savor your breakfast and coffee—all enhanced with the smells and tastes of Oaxaca’s infectious cuisine. This 12-bedroom hotel is your home-away-from-home. From the beach club, pool, and spa by day to the delectable libations situated underground, magic is discovered at each turn. Here, you and your friends have the entire space to yourselves. With chic and a minimalist design style, it is inviting to both foodies and studio artists alike—a savoir-faire of Oaxacan artisans brilliantly combining Old World architecture with modern grandeur.

Retreat and escape to the tastes uncovered only authentically in Oaxaca. Sit out in the open market area experiencing meals like a local. From mezcal to queso fresco to mole and quesillo, unlock the wonders of the city through the traditions of taste. With every bite, unlock the mystery and magic of Mexico by retreating through the gift of taste.
