Designed by architect Alberto Kalach, Casona Sforza is a boutique sanctuary near Puerto Escondido. Its vaulted stone architecture, farm-to-table dining, and textural Oaxacan design elements create a refined yet bohemian retreat set on golden sands by the Colotepec River.
Why we love it
Casona Sforza is as much a work of art as it is a hotel - from its soaring vaulted arches to the artisan details woven throughout. Designed by Alberto Kalach, one of Mexico’s most celebrated contemporary architects, it offers a rare mix of architectural pedigree, intimacy, and connection to Oaxaca’s land and traditions.

Positive impact
Casona Sforza celebrates sustainability through its construction and daily practices. Built using traditional vault and arch techniques with local stone, the property minimizes energy use with naturally ventilated spaces. The farm-to-table restaurant sources ingredients from nearby growers, supporting local agriculture and reducing transport impact. Interiors feature artisan-made textiles, pottery, and lamps from Oaxaca, Yucatán, and Veracruz, directly benefiting regional craftspeople and preserving cultural heritage.
