Few destinations evoke the spirit of escape quite like Puerto Escondido—raw, radiant, and rich with cultural depth. And few places reflect that spirit with such thoughtful simplicity and elegance as Hotel Terrestre, Grupo Habita’s off-grid retreat that redefines what it means to truly disconnect.
Nestled intimately between the Sierra Madre mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Hotel Terrestre is a fully solar-powered property designed as a living, breathing extension of its natural surroundings. This is not just a hotel—it is a multi-sensory invitation to slow down, sync with the sun, and recalibrate the way you experience the world.
Architecture in Harmony
Conceived by celebrated architect Alberto Kalach and built entirely from locally sourced materials, Terrestre blends earth, brick, wood, and concrete into structures that feel both ancient and avant-garde. The minimalist aesthetic is deeply grounded in Mexican architectural traditions, while simultaneously pushing boundaries in sustainable design. Passive cooling methods eliminate the need for air conditioning, and open-air spaces invite constant dialogue with the landscape.
A Private World Within
Each of the fourteen villas is its own secluded refuge, complete with a private pool, garden, outdoor shower, and terraces that stretch out toward the Pacific. Slatted wood doors and large windows dissolve the boundary between inside and out, while earthy textures and handcrafted elements—curated by interior designers Fernanda Romandia and Diana Backal—evoke a warm, lived-in elegance. Custom furniture by renowned Mexican designer Oscar Hagerman completes the immersive design experience.
Rituals of Rest
Beyond the villas, communal spaces further invite guests into a state of elemental connection. Unwind in the hexagonal spa, take a meditative dip in the bathing pool, or visit the sculptural hammam, where hot, cold, and steam chambers awaken the senses.
Dine al fresco in the open-air restaurant, where seasonal Mexican and Mediterranean dishes are prepared with local ingredients and served with a view of the surrounding mountains and sea. Hotel Terrestre is more than just a place to sleep—it’s a place to awaken. To rise with the sun, breathe with the trees, bathe in moonlight, and remember the rhythms that modern life has quieted. Whether you’re looking for a restorative escape, a romantic hideaway, or a soulful reconnection with nature, Terrestre offers a rare kind of luxury: the luxury of stillness.
This is not just off-grid. This is true reconnection.
