CASA NOPAL by LA GEMA ESCONDIDA is a tropical retreat just a few minutes' walk from Playa Manzanillo - one of Puerto’s most beautiful beaches.
Fresh from a complete renovation - including new full kitchens, bathrooms and king-size bedrooms - Casa Nopal brings the design, warmth and hospitality of La Gema to a more intimate setting. Centered around a private pool with lush tropical gardens, Casa Nopal combines two beautifully appointed casitas - rented exclusively together for complete privacy.
The space
Casa Nopal has been thoughtfully reimagined for relaxed indoor-outdoor living, combining contemporary comfort with the warmth and character of the Oaxacan coast.
The swimming pool and outdoor living spaces form the heart of the property, surrounded by lush tropical gardens and palms. Each casita has its own beautifully appointed living and dining area, a new fully equipped kitchen with built-in oven and stovetop, a full-size refrigerator, and a newly renovated bathroom.
Throughout Casa Nopal, handcrafted Oaxacan furniture, ceramics and textiles bring warmth and a distinctly local spirit to the interiors. The result feels relaxed and contemporary while remaining unmistakably of Puerto Escondido.
The two-casita layout is part of Casa Nopal’s charm. It is wonderfully indulgent for a couple, while friends or two couples can enjoy both companionship and privacy. Families have room to spread out while still coming together around the pool, gardens and outdoor living spaces.
Generous closets, two full kitchens and dedicated workspaces also make Casa Nopal particularly comfortable for longer stays.
BREAKFAST, HOUSEKEEPING & HOSPITALITY
Beginning September 1, stays at CASA NOPAL by LA GEMA include breakfast and daily housekeeping Monday through Saturday, bringing an added level of ease to your stay while preserving the privacy and freedom of having Casa Nopal entirely to yourselves.
Hospitality is provided by the team behind La Gema Escondida, with the same warmth and personal approach to service.
Our co-host, Diego, is close at hand throughout your stay, whether you would like a favorite local restaurant, help with a reservation, ideas for exploring Puerto Escondido or simply a little assistance making yourself at home.
It is the privacy and freedom of your own home in Puerto Escondido, supported by the thoughtful hospitality of La Gema Escondida.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
• Breakfast Monday through Saturday, beginning September 1
• Housekeeping Monday through Saturday, beginning September 1
• Private swimming pool surrounded by lush tropical gardens
• Outdoor kitchen, grill and dining area
• Two fully equipped kitchens
• Two dedicated workspaces
• High-speed Starlink Wi-Fi throughout
• The warm and personal hospitality of the La Gema Escondida team
THE SETTING
Casa Nopal sits within the peaceful gated enclave of Manzanillo Reef, just above Playa Manzanillo.
The beach is only a few minutes away on foot, while Puerto Escondido’s celebrated restaurants, cafés, boutiques, nightlife and other beaches are an easy taxi ride away. Close to everything, Casa Nopal still feels wonderfully removed from it all.
Back at Casa Nopal, palms and tropical gardens surround the pool and outdoor spaces, birds move through the trees, and the Pacific appears beyond the terraces. In season there may be whales offshore, along with flying fish, tropical birds and the occasional neighborhood iguana.
LONGER STAYS
Casa Nopal is particularly lovely when you have time to settle in.
Two full kitchens, dedicated workspaces, high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, generous living spaces and regular housekeeping make longer stays wonderfully easy. Unpack, find your favorite table for breakfast, discover your neighborhood places and experience Puerto Escondido at a slower pace.
Attractive discounts are available for longer stays.
PRIVACY & SECURITY
Nightly security provides Casa Nopal with an added degree of protection to our guests.
Once inside its garden walls, the atmosphere is quiet, secluded and relaxed—a private place to return to after the beach, dinner or a day exploring Puerto Escondido.
Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to both casitas, the use of all indoor and outdoor areas of Casa Nopal, including the swimming pool, tropical gardens, outdoor kitchen and entertaining spaces.
Other things to note
Casa Nopal’s open-air architecture is an important part of its character and connection to the tropical setting. Casa Nopal is designed as a private residential retreat rather than a traditional hotel. Our hospitality team is available when you need us, but the house remains your own - quiet, relaxed and entirely private.
The property includes balconies, spiral staircases and an unfenced swimming pool. Families traveling with young children should take particular care in these areas.
A collapsible crib is available upon request.
