From Huatulco to Zipolite

A guide for travellers arriving via Huatulco and continuing to Zipolite and Playa del Amor.

Huatulco and Zipolite are not the same destination

Cocos Hotel is not in Huatulco: it is in Zipolite, on Camino a Cocos, within the Playa del Amor area. Huatulco works as the gateway thanks to its airport, and from there you continue by road to Zipolite, a small and relaxed village on the Oaxaca coast.

If you are looking for accommodation in Zipolite and your flight lands in Huatulco, this page sums up the order of the trip: airport, transfer, arrival in the village and a place to stay next to Playa del Amor.

1. Arriving via Huatulco

Many travellers heading to Zipolite land first in Huatulco, on the Oaxaca coast, because its International Airport (HUX) handles most of the region's domestic flights. Huatulco is the entry point; Zipolite is a separate village further west along the same coast.

2. Transfer from Huatulco to Zipolite

The journey is made by road. The usual options are an airport taxi, a private transfer booked in advance, or a rental car. If you travel with luggage or arrive at night, a direct transfer is the most comfortable choice.

3. Public transport and Pochutla

The budget overland route goes through Pochutla, the area's transport hub, where shared vans and local pickups leave for Zipolite, San Agustinillo and Mazunte.

4. Arriving at Playa del Amor

Once in Zipolite, ask your driver for Camino a Cocos, in the Playa del Amor area at the quiet end of the village. That is where Cocos Hotel is, with parking included for guests.

Before booking your transfer

We do not publish distances, journey times, schedules or transfer prices between Huatulco and Zipolite because they change with the provider, the season and road conditions. Please confirm those details directly with your carrier or airline. The hotel does not operate transport services either.

If you have questions about reaching the hotel, message us on WhatsApp with your estimated arrival time and we will guide you.
