Location
Casa Mauna is located in the prestine bay of Salchi, on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. It’s located 25 minutes away from Huatulco airport, 35 minutes away from Bay of Huatulco, 50 minutes away from Mazunte and Zpolite and 1h20m away from Puerto Escondido.
The ocean in Salchi Bay is an open ocean and as such its character depends on the weather. Generally between November and March waves are calm and the ocean is well swimable. In the other months of the year it can be stronger. We always recommend to be an experienced swimmer to swim at Salchi beach. Other beaches in walking distance nearby are calmer and ideal for children.
We recommend flying to the airport of Huatulco and from there taking a taxi to Casa Mauna. The drive will take you 25 minutes. Alternatively you can get from Oaxaca city to us via the new highway in around 3.5 hours.
Salchi is remotely located. If you want to experience a lot of the towns and beaches around we recommend to rent a car. If your goal is to seek relaxation at Casa Mauna without wanting to travel a lot a rental car is not necessary.
The restaurant can organise taxis for you at any time. Please advise us with anticipation, ideally the day before so we can assure availability.

Casa Mauna has been founded by us, Victoria and Ewen. We’re a Mexican German couple and fell in love with Salchi on our very first visit. It took us two years of planning and one year of construction to complete our vision. We constructed during the lockdown of Covid in 2020 and opened by of October of 2020 at the end of our available funds. We were lucky to have been able to flourish since and are happy to offer our guests a great experience. We’re very grateful for all the posivite reviews we received and the guests we got to know.
At Casa Mauna we’re strongly aware of our social responsability. When we opened Casa Mauna we were the first to implement a 40 hours work week with two days a week off. Vastly improving over the previous 70+ hours work week with 1 day a week off common in the area. Though we were reducing working hours we were able to increase salaries even above the average common in the area. This means our staff receives an average hourly wage of more than double compared to other companies in the area. Additionally we offer more vacations than any other company in the area. We also provide social security, transportation, beverages and food to all our staff. It’s thanks to these efforts that we’re able to maintain no staff fluctuation. We’re very thankful to all of our staff members and it’s thanks to the whole team that we’re able to offer such a great service.
