9. Zipolite and Mazunte, Oaxaca
The ultimate in unconventional relaxation
Zipolite and Mazunte are two coastal towns just a stone’s throw from the livelier, more developed Puerto Escondido. The only officially nudist beach in Mexico, Zipolite is a bohemian retreat where anything goes—a sunrise yoga session, lazy afternoons in a hammock, a nude dip in the rushing ocean. The currents here are strong and the waves powerful, so swimming requires experience and a good level of fitness. For a quieter experience, head to the sheltered Playa del Amor, a cove tucked away on the eastern edge of Zipolite. At sunset, the entire town gathers on the beach, drinks in hand, to watch the sky turn molten gold.
A few miles away, Mazunte has a more eco-conscious and holistic vibe. This tiny seaside village is famous for the Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga, a facility dedicated to the protection of sea turtles. The Punta Cometa lookout offers breathtaking views. Mazunte is also a center for yoga and alternative medicine retreats, perfect for those seeking a rejuvenating escape in close contact with nature.
