Wild Pacific waves that often make swimming dangerous, and biodiverse lagoons in the hinterland. The photos for the travel feature on the new dream destination of Puerto Escondido in Travel + Leisure magazine were taken by renowned photographer Anne Menke.
Anne Menke has lived in Sayulita, Mexico, for many years and is known worldwide for her fashion, travel, and lifestyle photography for major magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Sports Illustrated. For this feature in Travel + Leisure, she documented the burgeoning hotel and art scene surrounding Puerto Escondido.
Puerto Escondido is a resort town of approximately 30,000 inhabitants on the Pacific coast in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. The town is primarily a destination for beachgoers and surfers.
In the accompanying text, author David Shortell describes how the new, roughly $500 million highway has radically transformed the formerly hard-to-reach, sleepy surfer's paradise on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca. Puerto Escondido is rapidly developing into a hotspot for a discerning international clientele.
The article also highlights the region's booming hotel scene. In addition to the adults-only retreat Casa Yuma, the piece showcases other architectural highlights of the area, such as the Hotel Terrestre, designed by renowned architect Alberto Calleja, and the minimalist Hotel Humano.
