Tucked away in a corner of Oaxaca’s jagged coastline you’ll find Casa Zapote, a six-bedroom wonderland set on the tanned sands of Playa Guaya with thatched palapa palms atop an all-natural exterior. Sporting locally-sourced handmade interiors, each room in this villa has been carefully considered to create an authentic, comforting feel that mirrors the artistic ambience of Oaxaca. Margarita in hand, watch the sunset over the Pacific’s lapping shores from your private indoor-outdoor living room as your chef-prepared dinner sizzles on the barbecue.
