Huatulco is one of Mexico's newest and most exclusive fully-planned resort developments. It was just in 1983 that FONATUR, the government's tourism development agency, picked this isolated spot to become Mexico's next Cancún or Ixtapa. Huatulco is still relatively undeveloped and unknown compared to other Mexican resorts, so if you seek pristine natural surroundings and the comfort of world-class accommodations, this is the place for you.
The country's southernmost Pacific Coast resort, Huatulco encompasses 18 miles of cove-jagged coastline on nine lovely bays. The complex is absolutely stunning: Beach after beach is framed by white sands and the jagged peaks of the Sierra Madre del Sur, perfectly set off the cerulean blue waters.
Huatulco is comprised of three distinct sections-Tangolunda (the Hotel Zone), Santa Cruz, which is home to the marina and several restaurants, and La Crucecita (the town created to house the resort's employees and their families.).
