Lo Sereno Casa de Playa
Troncones, Mexico
Design-forward beachfront boutique hotel with beautiful views on the mellow shores of Troncones, Mexico.
Nestled in abundant greenery between the Sierra Madre mountains and the Pacific, Lo Sereno Casa de Playa is a boutique hideaway located on a three-mile stretch of unspoiled beach with plentiful nearby surf on offer.
The hotel is effortlessly chic and excels in the art of balance – it’s sophisticated yet relaxed, modernist yet comfortable. Clean contemporary lines and natural materials are mixed with elements of Mexican artistry and handcrafted accents.
Ten generous guest rooms all feature large terraces with sliding wooden doors, views of the pool or ocean, and a glass encapsulated bathroom complete with a spa raindrop shower head and a private bathroom patio.
When you’re not surfing or exploring, lounge around the black-tiled infinity pool, at the on-site restaurant/bar, or on a beach hammock in front of the hotel with your feet in the sand and a cocktail in your hand.

The hotel sits right on the sand and offers beautiful views throughout. Lush palm trees and landscaping are a stunning contrast to the property’s concrete/wood accents and beachfront black-tiled infinity pool.
Eat & Drink
The on-site restaurant and bar is open-air and offers gourmet Mexican fare, sourcing fresh local ingredients daily. Thanks to the stellar beachfront location, feel free to enjoy adult beverages from the bar right on the beach. Breakfast is included with all stays.
The Surf
Troncones is surrounded by a surf-rich area known for fun year-round waves and breaks for all styles and abilities. You’ll find waves all year long, but the most consistent time is when the S/SW swells roll in between April and October. There are plenty of beach break peaks along the three-mile stretch of Troncones, but the right reef at the south end is the standout in a moderate SW swell. Other nearby winners are Manzanillo, the epic long lefts at La Saladita, and consistent rights and lefts at The Ranch (fastest access is by boat).
