About Hualtulco

The Bays of Huatulco (wa-TOOL-co) are actually made up of a series of small bays and coves, including 35 beaches. We believe that it is the most beautiful spot on the Pacific coast mainly because of the many unspoiled beaches that stretch along the 18 miles of jagged coastline that comprise the nine Bays of Huatulco. Each bay has its own unique character. Some have several beaches which form little pockets nestled into the towering cliffs, others are wide open to the surf, and still others have coral reefs with crystalline water and numerous species of tropical fish. Here it is possible to see giant sea turtles and pods of dolphins. The foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains form a framework for each of the bays and are covered with an abundant tropical foliage. It is truly an unspoiled tropical paradise where 70% of the area has been designated as an ecological zone.

In addition to the spectacular natural beauty, Huatulco has an exceptional level of infrastructure. FONATUR (a governmental agency for the development of tourism) has made a major investment in developing important elements of infrastructure such as paved roads, electricity, water and sewage treatment. The commitment to maintaining the environment here is so high that this is one of the few areas on the Pacific coast where sewage (treated or otherwise) is not pumped out to sea. Discover for yourself why Huatulco, this premier Eco-resort, is considered "the best kept secret in Mexico!"
