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.

DAILY DREAM HOME: ZAMEL HOUSE

POSTED BY ADA TEICU ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2012 AT 6:12 PM. FILED UNDER HOUSE.

The Zamel House belongs to an Los Angeles beach-loving couple – she is passionate about architecture, while he loves to surf. This dream couple got their dream home in the shape of a stunning two-story modern residence right on the beach. Part of Mexican studioKontrast Arquitectura‘s portfolio, the 2,936 square foot ocean home surprises exceptional sunset. Displaying its contemporary architecture in Bahías de Huatulco, Oaxaca, Mexico, this inspiring residence built on a flag lot boasts an exceptional great room that can be fully open to the outdoors.

Hot summer days are kept outside with the help of natural ventilation, while the panoramas are invited inside through extensive use of glass and site-specific solutions on this blessed site only 12 meters wide. Lifting the house from the ground and connecting it to the beach via a stairway on one side of the pool makes it appear like the house if slightly floating above the views, inducing a feeling of deep relaxation. Tropical plants inside create a comforting atmosphere, while alfresco dining in the pool-side pergola can end any perfect day with success.
