Three levels of pools are terraced down the hillside overlooking the wide beach. They merge with the azure waters of the Pacific, creating an idyllic setting for this exclusive beach club.

Two of the pools have a depth of around 4½ feet, while the third is a shallower wading pool on a separate terrace.

Choose your favorite sun lounger and the staff will bring towels and offer cold drinks.

An activities desk by the pool offers a variety of water sports, including kayaking and windsurfing. Call here to arrange boat trips around the beautiful bays of Huatulco too - highly recommended.

The beach itself is just a few steps down from the pool terraces. A frequent shuttle service transports guests up and down the steep access road between the main hotel facilities and the beach club.
