Architecture Jorge Hernández de la Garza
All the materials used to create Humano were handmade, produced in local ateliers, and assembled by area artisans. Here, the natural color of exposed concrete contrasts with clay tiles, raw bricks, and tropical wood details. An exquisite grid pattern enclosed by permeable lattices heightens the flow between the inside world and the surrounding environment, creating a natural relationship with the local scene.
Interior design Plantea Estudio
The common areas and the rooms employ midcentury modernism and Scandinavian interiors to create a fine balance between simplicity, domesticity, and enjoyment. At the same time, the hotel’s design is well-grounded in the contemporary Mexican architectural context. The area’s surfing culture, meanwhile, plays strongly into the look and character of the interiors.

Bistro Coastal flavors
The Bistro captures the easy rhythm of Puerto Escondido with a menu shaped by seasonal ingredients, local influences, and a relaxed approach to dining. From leisurely breakfasts to long lunches and sunset dinners, the space invites guests to gather over fresh, flavorful dishes in an atmosphere that feels effortless yet considered.
Sunset Bar Golden-hour rituals
An essential part of the hotel experience, the rooftop is a must for admiring the sunset while perched upon monolithic steps. Here, you can enjoy a covered bar serving drinks and snacks, a small sunset pool, and a garden. Opening each day in the late afternoon, the rooftop is the perfect spot for making new friends or just reflecting on the day.
Coffee Shop Morning ritual
A natural gathering place throughout the day, the coffee shop invites guests to begin mornings with thoughtfully prepared coffee, fresh pastries, and light fare before heading toward the beach or exploring Puerto Escondido. With a relaxed atmosphere that reflects Hotel Humano’s coastal spirit, it offers a quiet corner for conversation, work, or simply savoring the rhythm of the day.
