Luxury Huatulco Real Estate: Next to Nature in Coastal Mexico

The green resort town of Huatulco in the Oaxaca state of Mexico offers a vastly different landscape and attitude than better-known Mexico real estate markets. This beach and mountain destination offers upscale living opportunities by the ocean for retirees, second-home buyers, and snowbirds.

Huatulco, Oaxaca is one of the many planned tourist destinations designed by Mexico's National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism: Fonatur. Different from the likes of Cancun or Los Cabos (also developed by Fonatur), Huatulco's planning has taken a more ecologically friendly tack. The city has followed a low–density master plan and a focus on clean beaches that can be felt when you vacation there. 

Back in 2011, Huatulco was the first destination in the world to get a Gold certification from tourism advisory group EarthCheck, a recognition that 100% of the region's energy comes from renewal sources.
