Set along the secluded shores of Playa Puerto Suelo – where your only neighbours are the resident chirping hummingbirds – and graced by a backdrop of the Oaxaca mountains is the palapa-inspired Casa Selva. Lined with peering plants that add a colourful twist to a concrete exterior, this villa brings the outdoors in with naturally sourced local materials and handmade furnishings throughout its four bedrooms. After spending the morning slowly swaying in a hammock and swimming in your private pool, take a few steps down the wooden walkway to the sun-heated sand of your neighbouring beach to admire Oaxaca’s ochre sunsets.
