If you're a digital nomad or remote worker eyeing Mexico for your next adventure, chances are you've heard about the vibrant coworking scenes in Mexico City, Tulum, and Oaxaca City. But have you ever considered escaping the bustling cities for a tropical surf town that combines both work and relaxation? Puerto Escondido, with its laid-back vibe, stunning beaches, and growing remote work community, offers the best of both worlds.
Whether you're looking to swap the urban energy of Mexico City for sunset views and surf breaks or simply want to experience a more down-to-earth coworking environment, Puerto Escondido is the perfect place for digital nomads seeking a tropical retreat. From pristine beaches to excellent local cuisine, this surf town is not just a tourist hotspot—it’s fast becoming a coworking haven, especially for those seeking a balance between work, wellness, and adventure.
1. Stunning Natural Beauty and Surf Culture
Puerto Escondido offers more than just a work destination—it’s a lifestyle. Nestled on the Oaxacan coast, the town is surrounded by stunning beaches and world-class surf breaks. Whether you’re catching waves at Playa Zicatela or enjoying sunset views at La Punta, Puerto’s surf culture and laid-back vibes create the perfect setting for work-life balance. It’s a hidden paradise where digital nomads can unwind, surf, and connect with like-minded travelers.
2. Affordable Living and Coliving Spaces
One of the biggest perks of relocating to Puerto Escondido is the affordable cost of living. Mexico, in general, is known for its budget-friendly accommodations, but Puerto offers a range of coliving and coworking spaces tailored specifically to remote workers, such as Surfbreak PXM, Hotel Nectar, Selina, and more. From shared villas with ocean views to coworking hubs with high-speed internet, you can find affordable options that fit both your work needs and budget, making it an attractive alternative to pricier destinations like Tulum or Mexico City.
3. Perfect for Digital Nomads Looking to Escape the City
While Mexico City offers a bustling atmosphere for remote workers, it’s no secret that many digital nomads crave an escape from urban chaos. Puerto Escondido provides the ideal change of pace—offering tranquil beaches, lush landscapes, and a sense of community that is harder to find in bigger cities. For those looking to recharge and experience life in a more relaxed, tropical environment, Puerto delivers the ultimate work-and-play lifestyle. The close-knit community boasts many opportunities to get involved in fun group fitness classes, surf/skate outings and skill-building, bilingual learning opportunities, networking, events and parties in La Punta and Zicatela.
4. Unique Blend of Culture and Adventure
Puerto Escondido isn’t just a beach town—it’s a destination filled with cultural richness and opportunities for adventure. Explore the nearby Chacahua Lagoon, visit the vibrant local markets in Zicatela and Centro, or take part in a turtle release at Playa Bacocho. Adventure seekers can dive into thrilling experiences like snorkeling, hiking, or boat tours, all while immersing themselves in the laid-back, local Oaxacan culture. With so much to offer, Puerto is more than just a place to work; it’s a place to live life to the fullest.
5. Rising Infrastructure for Remote Work
While Puerto Escondido was once considered off-grid for remote workers, the town has seen significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, especially for the remote work community. More coworking spaces are popping up, and local businesses have invested in better internet connections and services. Surfbreak PXM's coliving and coworking community offers fiber-optic internet, backup generators, and all the conveniences remote workers need to stay productive—even in a surf town. The digital nomad scene is growing rapidly, making it easier than ever to set up your remote office in Puerto. Increasing options for a high standard of living and working accomodations make your off-grid remote work desires attainable.
6. Safety and a Caring Community
When it comes to safety, Puerto Escondido is widely regarded as a peaceful and secure destination for travelers, including solo adventurers. The tight-knit local community and laid-back surf town atmosphere make it a great place to live, work, and relax. However, Surfbreak PXM takes safety up a notch with personalized attention to ensure members feel at home from the moment they arrive. For example, we’ve had female members share how comforting it felt to have a ride arranged from the bus stop when they arrived from Oaxaca City, highlighting our dedication to safety and member care.
In addition to the town's overall safety, Surfbreak’s coliving setup fosters a much more intimate and stable community compared to the transient nature of hostels. Members typically stay for longer durations, creating a family-like bond and a sense of belonging that’s hard to find in traditional travel accommodations. This supportive environment adds another layer of comfort, making Surfbreak PXM an ideal base for digital nomads and remote workers seeking not just a workplace, but a true home away from home.
7. Increasing options for high standard living and working accommodations
Development and popularity in Puerto Escondido for a remote work location has been on an exponential rise, and earlier remote workers have noted some pain-points when it comes to living and working in Mexico. While common pain points are regular power outages, the need to purchase plastic water bottles, lack of luxurious amenities, Surfbreak PXM is a coliving and coworking beach side villa that has invested in being the only accommodations in Puerto that provides solutions for higher living standards - with the same luxuries as our first location in Honolulu, Hawaii (Surfbreak HNL).
