Playa de Mazunte

LOCATION

The Posada del Arquitecto it is situated on a hill, at the midway point along the beach in Mazunte, just a few meters from the sand. You can enjoy marvelous views of the Bay of Mazunte from different angles and heights, always within earshot of the ocean.

The Posada del Arquitecto is an alternative space, created by travelers for travelers. Our goal is for you to spend your time with us in contact with – immersed in – this natural coastal paradise, while enjoying the friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

We do our best to respect the environment we call home, by integrating the region’s native, natural elements into the construction of the cabañas, allowing you to interact with the local flora and fauna. We request that you be considerate and respectful of these living things.

 
 

El mar y su energía te esperan!

 
 

Detalles que hacen la diferencia

LA POSADA

From our hanging beds to our recently remodeled rooms and cabañas, our rustic, artisan-inspired accommodation offers multiple comfortable options to accommodate every budget.

Open your eyes. The Pacific stretches out before you. Every morning the sun rises over the ocean, greeting you as it welcomes a new day. Enjoy a breakfast of a cappuccino and a croissant at the Café de la Terraza. Just a few steps away, Mazunte´s blue bay and golden sands await.

 
 

ACCOMMODATION

We offer multiple options to accommodate every budget. Our suites, rooms and cabañas were conceived as fluid spaces, open to the natural environment. Each is designed to incorporate practicality, minimalism and comfort. While you won’t find services such as air conditioning or hot water in every room (at least not at this time), you will enjoy ample space to relax while taking in the view of the ocean or mountains, soothed by the sound of birds and waves.

LOCATION

The Posada is located on the Pacific Coast, in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is in a pueblo called Mazunte, and it occupies the hill that separates Playa Rinconcito from Playa Grande, right above the ocean. When you reach the pueblo from the main highway, you will take the road that goes to Playa Rinconcito for about 400 meters. You will find the entrance to the Posada at the end of this road, just as you reach the beach.

THE “BARRIO”

The Posada’s oceanfront location is a big draw, but the property also happens to be surrounded by one of Mazunte’s most interesting neighborhoods: Playa Rinconcito, with some of Mazunte’s best dining: Alessandro (gourmet Italian cuisine, on the premises), Sushido (sushi cuisine, on the premises), Simone’s classic Italian pizzeria across the street from the Posada (the modest sign just says “Pizzería”), excellent French restaurants, Sahuaro (Mexican/Asian cuisine), etc.

The trail that leads to Punta Cometa from the beach starts about 200 meters from the Posada. And if you head toward the highway there is a road about 300 meters from the Posada that will take you to Playa Mermejita. It is about a 10-minute walk.  

In the Playa, a few meters from the Posada, you can find boat tours to see turtles, dolphins and whales, and other excursions to visit local attractions.
