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.

User Profile Image

Room 2 w/Bath Cafe Maya - Casa Acalli



About this listing

We are located on the east end of Zipolite Beach in a natural, relaxed atmosphere. We serve breakfast, lunch & dinner, sushi, bakery, give surf classes & rent boards (w/lifeguards). 2 of our 3 rooms have private bathrooms, 1 w/shared bath, all with towels, fan, mosquito net, closet and/or other furnishings. Due to increased demand, for an added cost we now offer a "portable kitchen" (frigobar refrigerator and/or electric burner) for guests who wish to cook. Please inquire in booking request.

Description
The space
We are located on the less populated end of Zipolite beach, allowing our guests to enjoy the natural environment to the max! Cafe Maya is the local Lifeguard Base, and my partner Rey is the Lifeguard captain. He gives surf classes, rents surf equipment and kayaks when ocean conditions permit. In the Cafe, our more than 16 years' experience offering sushi and whole grain breads and natural baked goods make us leaders in the region. Guests can also sample other Asian Mexican fusion fare delights, traditional Mexican cuisine, vegetarian dishes and fresh local seafood!
Guest access
Guests may access the Cafe, wash area (for a small added fee for soap, water, power, etc.), shared kitchen (negotiable in cost of rent), and coming soon in February, our 3rd floor deck with hammocks, yoga area and a gorgeous view!
Interaction with guests
We live here, so we are available 24/7 to assist our guests. For the moment, due to this fact I do not have safes in the rooms, as our presence guarantees the safety of our property. However, I do have an office where guests may store valuables if they prefer.
The neighborhood
We are near the soccer field, health clinic, private doctor's office, local chapel, basketball courts, local schools, town hall, mom and pop stores, Playa del Amor, and this side of the beach is less populated and a more natural and relaxed environment. An ATM machine is located a 10 minute walk from Café Maya.
Getting around
Collectivo taxis pass by one block behind the house. Cost is around $10 and $20 pesos to neighboring beaches and communities.

La cabaña es muy amplia y cómoda. Totalmente independiente y con absoluta privacidad. 
Tiene una cama matrimonial y una hamaca ideal para leer, tomar una siesta, o simplemente descansar y contemplar la vista que ofrece la cabaña.
En general, la propiedad es un lugar tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza y a unos cuantos pasos de la playa. Es el sitio perfecto para relajarte, descansar, inspirarte y disfrutar de unas buenas vacaciones.
Pueden hacer uso de todas las áreas comunes de la propiedad, cocina, patios, hamacas, etc. Desde cualquier lugar la vista es espectacular.
El baño está en el exterior de la cabaña.
Nota: El baño puede llegar a ser compartido, en caso de haber huéspedes en la otra cabaña.
Siempre habrá alguien que los atienda, desde su llegada, durante su estancia y hasta su salida. Yo estaré en contacto para cualquier cosa que se requiera y, aunque no esté físicamente, me aseguraré de que tengan la mejor atención.
Las cabañas están ubicadas en la mejor zona de Zipolite, justo en el centro, cerca de restaurantes, tiendas y a unos pasos de la playa.
Se puede llegar a la mayoría de los lugares caminando. La caminata por la playa es una de las cosas más disfrutables que recomiendo hacer. Sin embargo, para ir a lugares más alejados, está "el colectivo" que cobra entres
$6 y $10 pesos por llevarte a otras playas cercanas como Puerto Ángel, Mazunte y San Agustinillo, entre otras.
También está la opción de tomar un taxi.
NOTA: 
En caso de requerir días de limpieza durante su estancia, hay un cargo extra de $200 pesos por día que se paga en efectivo directamente al encargado en la cabaña.

Getting around
There are three ways to get here from Puerto Escondido airport.
The first one is to take a cab from the airport that one costs around $1000 pesos.
The second one is to walk outside the airport and take a taxi all the way to Zipolite that should cost around $500 pesos.
The last one is to walk outside the airport, take a taxi and ask the taxi driver to take you to "las suburbans hacia Pochutla" the Suburban cost $60 pesos, and you will ask the Suburban driver to leave you in "crucero the Pochutla" and from there you will take an other a taxi to Zipolite (blue or purple), It can be a private one $150 pesos or colectivo $20 pesos. I suggest the colectivo since is the same taxi you just have to tell him "colectivo" and he will decide if he wants to take you or not, ( allmost all taxi drivers says yes). 
Good luck!!
Other things to note
This is the perfect place to relax and do nothing, but if you feel energetic there are many things to do and places to visit around here. There are many really good yoga instructors teaching in beautiful places, surf lessons and scenic boat tours.There are two lovely towns San Agustinillo (10 minutes away in colectivo) and Mazunte (15minutes away in colectivo) and here you could see the National Turtle Museum and visit Punta Cometa were you can see the sunset like nothing you have ever seen. There is also the beach of Ventanilla (20 minutes away in colectivo) wich is a beautiful natural reserve were you can enjoy the beach, but also the tour of the lagoon were you'll see exotic birds and crocodiles!
