Why a holiday villa in Oaxaca

Oaxaca is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be discovered, and staying in a villa is the perfect way to immerse yourself in its rich culture and breathtaking landscapes. From the moment you step into your villa, you'll feel like you're part of the community, with many villas nestled in traditional towns or surrounded by lush gardens that echo the region's colonial past.

With a villa holiday in Oaxaca, you can wake up each morning to the sound of tropical birds chirping and spend your days exploring ancient ruins, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, or learning about the intricate traditions of the Zapotec people. And when the sun sets, you can return to the comfort of your villa, where a private pool or outdoor lounge awaits, perfect for sipping local cocktails and watching the stars twinkle to life.

When to rent a villa in Oaxaca

Oaxaca's tropical climate means that the weather is warm and sunny throughout the year, making it an ideal destination for a villa holiday any time. However, the best time to visit depends on your personal preferences regarding temperature, humidity, and rainfall. The dry season, which runs from November to May, is considered the best time to visit Oaxaca, with comfortable temperatures ranging from 22°C to 28°C (72°F to 82°F) and very little rain. This period is perfect for outdoor activities like surfing, snorkeling, and exploring the region's ancient ruins.

If you're looking for a more relaxed pace and don't mind the occasional light shower, consider visiting Oaxaca during the summer months of June to October. The temperatures are still pleasant, with average highs in the mid-20s (70s), but the humidity can be higher. This period is also when the region's famous seafood festivals take place, so if you're a foodie, you might want to plan your villa holiday accordingly. Additionally, keep in mind that this is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and prices may be slightly higher.

Where to go in Oaxaca

From the vibrant streets of Puerto Escondido to the tranquil towns of Mazunte and Zipolite, Oaxaca's coast offers a diverse range of destinations perfect for your villa holiday. If you're looking for a lively atmosphere and world-class surfing, Puerto Escondido is the place to be. With its stunning beaches, bustling nightlife, and delicious seafood restaurants, you'll find plenty of options for active holidays and relaxation. On the other hand, Mazunte and Zipolite are ideal for those seeking a more relaxed pace, with their picturesque coves, quiet walks, and stunning sunsets.

For a truly unique experience, consider renting a villa in one of Oaxaca's ancient towns, such as Teotitlán del Valle or San Luis de la Lagoa. These colonial towns offer a glimpse into the region's rich history and culture, with their cobblestone streets, traditional markets, and world-class museums. With a villa holiday in Oaxaca, you can experience the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion, all set against the stunning backdrop of Mexico's Pacific coast.
