June 2026 brought us moments that will forever remain in the memory of Caoba. During our recent visit to the Oaxacan Pacific coast, Antonio Cabrerizo, CEO of Caoba, toured Casa Altanera, an architectural jewel that redefines conscious luxury hospitality.

Walking through this property is, above all, a quiet dialogue between contemporary design and the untamed rhythm of the ocean.

"There are places you visit, and places that live within you. Casa Altanera embraces you from the very moment the ocean breeze wanders through its open spaces."

Antonio Cabrerizo, CEO of Caoba

Architecture & Design: The Poetics of Materiality


Designed by the renowned Taller Alberto Calleja, Casa Altanera stands out for its unique, eco-sustainable architecture. Built with a neutral palette of raw exposed concrete, warm native timber, and traditional palapa roofs, the property seamlessly integrates into and regenerates the coastal landscape of Puerto Escondido.

Its three independent modules create an effortless flow:

The Central Palapa: The social heart of the villa, where the dining, lounge, and wooden deck expand outward with movable louvered doors to let the ocean breeze flow freely.

Private Suites: Geometric concrete and wood structures that offer a secure, contemplative, and deeply intimate connection to nature.

The Experience: From the Infinity Pool to the Table


Strolling across the wooden deck leads straight to the breathtaking oceanfront infinity pool. Floating there while listening to the waves crash just meters away feels like time standing still.

The magic unfolds further across every sense:

Bespoke Local Cuisine: The in-house chef spoils guests with authentic Oaxacan gastronomy crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Suite Refinements: Beautifully designed suites featuring curated luxury amenities, crisp linens, artisanal textures, and views facing the ocean or lush surrounding flora.

Exclusive Sanctuary for 10 Guests: The ideal setting for intimate gatherings and total relaxation.
