THE SPACE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Step into Casa Racél — where bold Mexican color, original artwork, and elevated Sierra Madre views set a tone all its own.

Casa Racél is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium on the first floor of the gated Nirú Las Casitas development in Santa Cruz Huatulco. At 121.7 m² (1,310 sq ft), the unit sleeps up to 6 and is designed for families and groups who want both space and personality in equal measure. The open-concept living and kitchen area flows directly onto a private balcony where the Sierra Madre and Santa Cruz harbor unfold in front of you — jungle treetops, distant lights, and sunsets that shift through gold and rose before giving way to a warm night sky.

Casa Racél is named for two women — Mateo's Nana Rachel and Francisco's Mamá Celina. The home reflects them: strong, vibrant, and unmistakably themselves. Original Mexican artwork lines every wall. A signature Frida Kahlo portrait anchors the living area. A bold splash-art canvas frames the balcony entrance. Mosaic-frame mirrors, embroidered pillows, mustard velvet, and lattice screen doors give Casa Racél a personality you'll remember long after you leave.

Santa Cruz Beach is a 2–3 minute walk via the private Nirú Las Casitas walkway — a direct, gated beach route that most visitors to Huatulco never see.

THE BALCONY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The private balcony is Casa Racél's defining feature — and the reason guests come back. One floor up from street level, the views stretch over the jungle canopy to the Sierra Madre mountains and a glimpse of the Santa Cruz harbor in the distance. Alfresco dining for six is set up and waiting. As the sun drops, the light shifts over the mountains in a way that's hard to describe until you've seen it.

- Private balcony with alfresco dining table and seating for 6
- Panoramic Sierra Madre mountain and a glimpse of the harbor
- Open from the living room through a full sliding glass door
- Evening light and sunset views over the mountains

LIVING ROOM & KITCHEN

LOCATION — SANTA CRUZ HUATULCO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Casa Racél is located in Santa Cruz Huatulco, Oaxaca, Mexico — within the gated Nirú Las Casitas development, 2–3 minutes on foot from Santa Cruz Beach.

WHERE THE SIERRA MADRE MEETS THE SEA

Huatulco is unlike any other beach destination in Mexico. Tucked into the southern Oaxacan coast where the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains drop directly into the Pacific, it offers 9 protected bays, dozens of beaches, and one of the most carefully preserved resort areas in the country. No massive hotel chains. No neon strip. Just natural beauty, clear water, and a coastal community that feels genuinely itself.

Santa Cruz Bay is Huatulco's most central and accessible bay — calm, sheltered water ideal for swimming and paddleboarding, a waterfront pier for bay tours, and Huatulco's best concentration of restaurants and services within easy reach.

NEARBY
- Café Niszul: steps from the main entrance — outstanding breakfast and brunch, personally recommended by your hosts
- Santa Cruz Pier: 5-minute walk — hub for bay tours and water taxis
- La Crucecita town center: 10 minutes by taxi — zócalo, restaurants, shops, mercado
- Chedraui Supermarket: 5–10 minutes by taxi
