1. Casa VO, Puerto Escondido
Easily one of my TOP 5 favorite places I ever stayed at and my very favorite unique place to stay in Mexico.
The layout of this unique place to stay is simply incredible and so different to anything else I have seen. The idea behind Casa VO is to transform the concept of a traditional house with a garden to a “garden with a house” instead.
It´s an architectural masterpiece and I absolutely fell in love with the concept of the open spaces without doors.
The pool is stunning and the house is very well equipped with everything you need during your stay.

Puerto Escondido, state of Oaxaca.
How much is Casa VO per night?
Prices on Airbnb start at about 300 USD, if you are traveling as a group of 4 that is quite a good price per person for such a unique stay.
2. Hotel Pasión de Luna, Puerto Àngel
This hotel is an very unique place to stay in Mexico and also a great hidden gem.
When I arrived to this hotel, I was literally speechless. There is so much happening everywhere, sooo much attention to detail everywhere you look. Small shells, stones, sand used for all sorts of decorations on the wall, lamps etc.
They offer 11 rooms (at least at the time when I stayed, but they are expanding) and 4 different pools, each one very unique and stunning.
I stayed in a room with private jacuzzi on the balcony and the most amazing outdoor bed in shell form (as in one of the pictures below).
This unique place to stay in Mexico is located in a less popular area (compared to the more touristy neighbouring towns like Mazunte and Zipolite). When I stayed there, I did not see any other guests and had the whole place to myself.
If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend booking this place, it will literally blow your mind – check the pictures below! It´s insane!

This treehouse is INSANE. I have seen a lot of treehouses in my life, but this one is so unique.
You can actually open the roof by remote control. Wait, what?? Yes, exactly! You can wake up in the morning and open the roof with your remote and let the sun in!
Have never heard of anything like it and could not believe my eyes when I actually arrived.
The treehouse is built in and around a huge tree and has a super cozy vibe.

5. Cuna del Cielo, San Miguel de Allende
Cuna del Cielo – meaning door to heaven, which is absolutely how staying here feels like!
This unique place to stay is located in one of my favorite Mexican cities – San Miguel de Allende. If you are not sure, if you should include San Miguel de Allende to your Mexico itinerary, check out my blog post Your perfect Mexico itinerary.
Cuna del Cielo is an amazing Bali style villa with tastefully decorated rooms, a giant hammock, rooftop jacuzzi and natural swimming pond.
My favorite feature is the swimming pond, other than the usual swimming pool, the pond comes with fish and plants and is a real treat after a day of exploring the city. The views from the roof top, especially during sunrise and sunset, will blow your mind. The giant hammock alone is already worth staying here!
The property is owned by an Austrian expat and he has put a lot of effort and thought into building this unique place to stay. If you visit San Miguel de Allende, like you should, make sure to check out this unique place to stay in Mexico. I am sure you will love it as much as I did.

6. Etlan cabana, Santo Domingo Barrio Alto (Oaxaca City)
The perfect A-frame cabin!
This unique place to stay is located in a very quiet area, about 30 minutes outside of Oaxaca City and features a plunge pool, outdoor seating area, BBQ, fireplace and a cozy double bed and bathroom.
I absolutely loved my stay here, even though it was raining most of the time while I visited.
If you are visiting Oaxaca City and don´t want to stay in the center, but in a more quiet and peaceful area, I highly recommend staying at Etlan cabana.
