Barefoot beachfront bolthole
Thatched palapas and raw concrete meet Pacific surf on a secluded Oaxacan beach, where days end at an underground music room.
“The thoughtful decor and design of the individual palapas … will make you want to redecorate your home to match.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Thatched palapas pair hand-woven palm roofs with raw concrete, tropical timber, and slatted louvers that channel Pacific breezes.
Notable
Attentive beachfront service accompanies private plunge pools, custom bathrobes, and morning bowls of traditional Oaxacan hot chocolate.
Notable
An open-air beach bar and a subterranean music room host evening drinks and late dancing.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
It’s essentially ‘barefoot luxe’ at its apex, a sort of impossibly stylish version of beach-bum living, its sixteen bungalows smallish and spare but perfectly formed.
“Inside, the décor is fresh and chic, finished in calming light-coloured woods with occasional touches of red and blue.”
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set along the remote Punta Pájaros coastline 30 minutes north of town, the property borders Pacific surf and desert cacti.
The rooms
Standalone bungalows feature stripped wood floors, open-air living, and private plunge pools set into individual oceanfront sundecks.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 50-meter oceanfront swimming lane runs parallel to the sand, looking straight out over the Pacific surf.
The spa
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Under a thatched palapa, the open-air restaurant serves fresh Pacific seafood and pours regional mezcals beside the ocean.
With its 16 freestanding bungalows facing the ocean, each tucked into a tangle of vegetation, the property evoked the romance of surf culture.
