The 7 Best Mazunte Airbnbs (#2 Is an Award-Winning Jungle Home with a Pool)
Looking for the best Mazunte Airbnbs?
You’re in the right place as I’ve called Mexico home since 2018, and I’ve stayed in 50+ Airbnbs all over the country — Mazunte included.
Mazunte is a tiny Pueblo Mágico on the Oaxaca coast, home to the Mexican Turtle Center and a sunset spot at Punta Cometa — and some of Mexico’s best Airbnbs.
👀 Curious about my top pick? It’s the bamboo cabin with AC in the forest, near Mazunte’s main street — check it out here.
The tricky part is that most stays here are small eco cabins, and many of them have no hot water or AC. That’s where I come in!
I’ve hand-picked a list of places, all with nearly-5 star ratings, lots of glowing reviews, and Airbnb’s Guest Favorite badge.
