Hotel Monte Uzulu gets its name from the word gusulú, which means the start or beginning in the language of the Zapotec people indigenous to the region. Drawing on this meaning, the hotel is modeled to be closely connected to nature and honor the earth and water as the fundamental elements. The essence of both Monte Uzulu and Piamundo is the experience of being conscious. 

Surroundings The lush wilderness of the Oaxacan coast ensures that your experience will galvanize your natural creativity. The minimalist resort we specifically chose for you is explicitly designed so that guests can fully experience the natural beauty of their surroundings. Every object you encounter is consciously handmade and, together with the architectural details and the natural surroundings, will reawaken the awe and wonder inside each of us.

Activities A range of physical activities will be available to choose from: yoga, therapeutic massages, surfing, hiking, and swimming in the ocean.

Additionally, nourishing your body with the abundance of seasonal, local and organic food that can be mindfully enjoyed in the beautiful on-site restaurant will effortlessly ground you.

Take a break We encourage our guests to take a break from their regular life with electronics, and instead initiate a digital detox and to be present in the moment.

There is the option to partake in a Temazcal, a traditional ceremony in a Mexican sweat lodge led by a shaman to encourage reflection and introspection.

Community We will connect to the local community through the meals offered at the organic restaurant on-site and learn more about the artisans that made different hotel design elements.

We will also gain an understanding of the Not for Profit Organization that is connected to the hotel and works with Indigenous Women.
