Templo Saladita · September 2026 · ~6 min read
There are no resorts in La Saladita, and that is the whole character of the place. What exists is a scatter of small guesthouses and private rentals along a few kilometres of beach and lagoon. Here is how to think about choosing one.
La Saladita is a village on the Guerrero coast built around one wave — a left point that peels for hundreds of metres. There is no hotel strip, no chain property, no resort with a lobby. Accommodation is small-scale: individual casitas, a handful of guesthouses, houses rented whole or by the room. If you want room service and a swim-up bar, Ixtapa is an hour south and will serve you better.
Troncones is twenty minutes south and has more of everything — more restaurants, more accommodation, more nightlife, and a beach break rather than a point. If you are travelling with non-surfers, want options for dinner every night, or are not specifically here for the longboard wave, Troncones is the more sensible base and you can drive up to Saladita to surf. We wrote a direct comparison of the two towns if you are deciding.
Templo Saladita is two private stays tucked into a quiet corner of the lagoon side, a one-minute walk from the break. The grounds are a planted food forest — coconut palms, papaya, citrus, banana, moringa, aloe and medicinal plants, walled in by towering oldhami bamboo.
The Glass Treehouse is the one people come for. It sits in its own corner along the lagoon, tucked behind the yoga studio, with a bridge across to the pool courtyard and wellness area — far enough to be genuinely alone, close enough to walk over for a sauna. Elevated in the palm canopy with glass walls on three sides and a copper soaking tub out on the open deck under the stars. A king Saatva mattress with organic linens and a twin daybed, sleeping three, and its own chef's kitchen with a commercial oven and SMEG fridge.
The Poolhouse sits steps from the courtyard pool, bordered by bamboo, designed by VMD / Taller Escape. Not a studio: a separate bedroom with a king Luuna mattress and organic linens, a twin daybed in the living area, a full private kitchen, air conditioning and a private patio.
Every guest gets the pool with its loungers and umbrellas, the barrel sauna and Plunge ice bath that sit together beside it — the plunge filtered and temperature-controlled, not a tub of ice — a newly air-conditioned gym, and the sixteen-mat yoga shala, which is open any time through your stay for your own practice, not only during Ana's community classes.
It suits people who want quiet, green, and close to the wave, and who would rather cook than be catered to. It is not the right choice if you want a resort, nightlife on the doorstep, or a big group property — we reduced deliberately to two private units rather than running the whole place as a buyout.
