A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Build your dream villa in Puerto Escondido, Mexico BY ALEX FRAZER-HARRISON, FOR THE CALGARY HERALD JANUARY 21, 2012


Build your dream villa in Puerto Escondido, Mexico

BY ALEX FRAZER-HARRISON, FOR THE CALGARY HERALD JANUARY 21, 2012
Located on Mexico's beautiful southwest Pacific coast, the city of Puerto Escondido is an untapped gem for those seeking recreation properties in the sun.
Chestermere-based Vivo Resorts has found success developing luxury oceanfront properties in this scenic getaway.
"Our first phase is complete. It's an up-and-coming area - developing, but not over developed," says sales and marketing director Chuck Ashton.
Vivo offers a mix of apartment-style condominiums and homes.
"Customers can buy a lot and we have an in-house custom home builder who will build them the villa of their dreams," says Ashton.
Being an Alberta company adds a layer of security in buying international property, says Ashton.
"There's no language barrier," he says. "We make it easy for people to make their decisions, as well."
That's thanks to a Stay & Play program that offers potential buyers a chance to come down and spend a few days at Vivo Resorts' property.
"It gives people a chance to get to know the development team - the general manager's from Saskatchewan and lives down there; our president is from Chestermere," says Ashton.
And then there's the prices. Two bedroom oceanview condos start at $209,000, and a range of floor plan options, from $79,000 studios to $600,000 penthouses, is available.
"Everything is full ownership," says Ashton, adding there is an optional rental program.
On-site amenities include a main swimming pool with swim-up bar. Construction of a clubhouse with restaurant, bar and second pool is planned to start later this year.
For more information, including how to sign up for Stay & Play trips, visit vivoresorts.com or call 1-866-236-2279.
