Tangolunda Bay - hotels, homes & great restaurants

Tangolunda, Huatulco’s main hotel district, represents the one of the more developed areas of Huatulco. This is where the upscale hotels and the all-inclusive hotels, like the Dreams and Las Brisas, are located along with areas for shopping and posh residential communities...and the sea beyond the hotels and homes is busy with lanchas (small motorboats), kayaks, and sailboats. This particular site was chosen by developers because of its five beautiful beaches located within one of the largest bays in Huatulco.

Hotel Quinta Real

There are also some great dining options in this area. Viena, an Austrian-Thai fusion restaurant is one of our favorites, offering a variety of interesting dishes from goulash to thai-spiced fish.  A few nights every week, the Camino Real Zaashila hotel sets up a restaurant by the beach called Azul Profundo, offering gourmet seafood specialties. And if you just want to chill out with a great martini, you can head to the Sky Lounge at the Quinta Real hotel with a great view of Tangolunda Bay below.

A professional 18-hole golf course, spread across 78 acres, can also be enjoyed in Tangolunda. The course is always in great shape and well-watered. However do not expect a typical resort-style course that allows for players to hit the ball wide and still score well. Most holes are bordered by a combination of trees, jungle, ponds and a concrete aqueduct. Hit precise shots and you will be rewarded. And you will want to pause and enjoy the 13th hole with spectacular views of Tangolunda Bay and our beautifully blue Pacific Ocean.

There are several options available for purchasing a home near this area. Just prior to the Bay of Tangolunda, you will find Residencial Arrocito, meaning “little rice” in reference to the pebbly sand on the beach in that area. In this neighborhood, high-end villas mix with luxury condo residences and hotel-style private accommodations. Just past Tangolunda Bay, even more high-end, luxury homes & villas can be found in Balcones de Tangolunda, a large point overlooking the bay and resorts where most homes have spectacular ocean vistas...whale watching from the living room is a favorite past time for most of these owners. Homes and lots are also available for purchase in Residencial Campo De Golf, along the golf course itself.
