Lunaya has to be the most beautiful place to stay in the area. The Villas are so private and serene, you'd never guess that they are so central. Nestled just off of the main road and steps from the beach the location is ideal — you can walk to everything in minutes while still having a quiet oasis to escape back to. The villa is beautifully designed, with a minimal calm aesthetic that is equally luxurious. The private pool, massive bath tub and rain shower, and full sliding doors to merge the inside and outside spaces into one are all a dream.

Gorgeous villa, well equipped with everything you need (book #2 for the ). Really decent owners too who care about you having a good time! Would highly recommend Lunaya.

Villas Lunaya is the best place to stay! I spent two nights here, and it was absolutely perfect. The location is super central, close to everything, yet still feels private and peaceful. The private pool was a dream, and the rooms are incredibly spacious, modern, and beautifully designed. Everything was spotless, and the attention to detail in the minimalist, stylish decor is just stunning. I absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about this place! To start- the team at lunaya was so good at communicating with us and answering our (many) questions from start to end. They sent us restaurant recommendations, had groceries ready for us in our room before we arrived, and set up a taxi to and from the airport. They even went out of their way to let us know about some construction noise happening that was out of their control and offered some solutions to make up for it. My husband and I were here for our honeymoon and they went above and beyond to make it special. The room itself is stunning- beautifully designed with all the amenities you need. It’s an interior designer and architects dream! The location could not be better- literally steps from the beach and all the best restaurants. We didn’t have to go more than 300 feet from the hotel the whole time we were there! I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Puerto- this is the best experience I’ve had with hotel staff and accommodations. Thank you Lunaya!

Fantastic place to stay! Ideal location at the end of the main run of restaurants and shops, 60 second walk to the beach for drinks at sunset. My wife was feeling unwell the day we were due to check out and they moved other booking around to allow us to stay a little later than the usual check out time. If you’re choosing between Lunaya and another hotel - pick Lunaya!

Very beautiful and well designed villa. We arrive to puerto and had booked a different place but didn’t like it so we looked for somewhere else and found this nice gem. Spacious and beautiful designed place with a nice pool. The location is great, close to many restaurants and the surfing beach.

The hotel is simply incredible! The location is perfect in Puerto Escondido. The villas offer both privacy and space, making you feel right at home. Everything is well thought out, and the decor and architecture are stunning! We’ll definitely be back if we pass through Puerto Escondido again. Thank you so much for the warm welcome!

We stayed 2 nights at Villas Lunaya and it was incredible — I wish we had stayed longer! The villas are extremely clean and the spaces are beautifully and thoughtfully designed. The location is perfect if you’re looking for something quiet and private as it’s at the end of the beach, but still steps away from restaurants and shops. The bed was super comfortable, AC worked perfectly, and check in/check out was smooth. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Puerto Escondido.
