We are an eco-conscious permaculture project on an unknown and empty beach between Puerto Escondido and Lagunas De Chacahua, just 100 meters from the beach and right around the corner from the surf break and rustic beach restaurants. In the morning you'll only hear the birds and at night only hear the crashing waves. We are far away from the touristic zone, a place where you can inspire, relax and think immersed in nature. Perfect for getting some work done, focusing on a project or just yourself. New Ruins is an experience of a perfectly balanced world, where you consume only what you need.
New Ruins is situated on 10,000 sq. m (2.5 acres) in the hills above the ocean. We have beautiful views and incredible landscapes: huge trees, cacti and rocks. You'll have a nice beach practically all to yourself. Great climbing rocks at the point and a surf break 15 mins walking. We have more than 50 fruit trees, a few of varieties you've most likely never heard of. We have vegetable and decorative gardens, beautiful outdoor shower tucked away in a rock nook, two beautiful composting toilets (one with the most incredible view of the sunrise above the cocos, beach shacks and the rocky point)
The property has multiple buildings and trails leading around to different spots. But you'll be staying in The Cone: a 5 meters wide SuperAdobe earthen round house. The half a meter thick earth walls keep it very cool during the day and night. One the first floor there is queen bed, simple furniture and a ceiling fans. The second floor is an open air balcony all made of wood, has an ocean view and the breeze is always blowing. The lighting is very soft in the evening, which gives a very nice vibe that every guest can feel. This house is ideal for a couple's romantic beach hide away.
The Pool is next to your cabana. It has an ocean view
The Kitchen is a separate building that is the heart of the property. It has a very large indoor garden and is open air but mosquito screened. This is shared between everybody. It's fully equipped and generally speaking, all the food is available to you. We do expect you to bring your own specific food items, but the basics we generally have are spices, oils, coffee, tea, chiles, garlic, onions, tomatoes etc and and we are into sharing.
Beach Equipment:
We can loan you all sorts of recreational items, including: shade structures, camastros, snorkeling flippers and masks, surf and boogie boards, balls, frisbees, clown wig, fireworks, all sorts of weird stuff. Just don't break them.
Booze:
We have wine, beer and mezcal for sale. But you are also welcome to bring your own.
Beach Campfire:
Firewood is always on hand for a beach fire, and feel free to enjoy our marshmallows or hotdogs while star gazing.
The owner (Nico), 6 dogs, and a cat live on the property in a house up on the hill. During the day he's normally programming away at something. You'll see him making coffee and taking the dogs to the beach in the morning, and also at evening for sunset and dinner. You can interact with him at your comfort level.
We can help you go exploring in the area. We are perfectly situated for day trips to local attractions: hot springs, a large lagoon with glow in the dark plankton, floating down a river in an innertube, waterfalls, and secluded local beaches.
Pizza night is once a week (Wednesday) with lots of locally sourced ingredients: local sea salt, coco oil, cheeses and veggies. We also offer local cooking classes in Spanish on site upon request.
Based on topics of interest we can talk to you about lots of things: Solar power, grey water usage, long range internet installations, gardening, fruit trees, mezcal infusions, ecological construction techniques, composting toilets and of course, Permaculture!
New Ruins is very isolated, there are no shops, restraurantes or neighbors. Please be prepared with anything you may need ahead of time. Nearest shopping is 30mins away in car or 200 pesos via taxi.
El Venado is about 2 KM away and is community of coconut farmers. Therefore you'll be surrounded buy huge coconut plantations. The houses are almost completely made from different parts of the coco.
On the other side of us is Roca Blanca, a small tourist beach, visited by mostly local Mexicans. It has a surf break, rustic palapa restaurants and is great swimming and snorkeling. It is a walkable distance along the beach or a dirt road, about 20 mins walking or 5 by car.
We are very remote and its difficult to get in and out.
* We have a 12 person passenger Van. 2000 pesos per airport shuttle.
* A taxi from rio grande will come and take you to rio grande for 200 pesos. (Easier)
* But there are collectivo taxis that come and go every 30 mins in el venado, 2 kms away walking. For 15 pesos they'll take you to Rio Grande, the nearest town with commercial services and connections to other towns . And another 15 pesos to get back to el venado. (Cheaper)
* From rio grande or along the highway The Collectivo Vans (Urvans) will take you to Puerto Escondido 45 mins away for 45 pesos.
* From Rio grande, 20 pesos to get to the entrance of Chacahua National Park Lagoon system.
* 2 hours Driving to Mazunte.
* Having your own car or motorbike would allow for maximum mobility.
Heres some things you might not like:
It's rustic, as in not a 5 star resort. It is charming and comfortable but there are some bugs that might bite you as the buildings are separate and require walking outdoors. The rooms are, however, bug free.
We are far from stores. Bring any medicines, personal items or cigarettes (throw away your butts, not on the ground).
Next to the room is a beautiful bathroom to shower and a pee only toilet. But for a number 2, you have to walk half a minute to 1 of the 2 dry composting toilets that use sawdust.
The ocean isn't always safe for actual swimming, but you can always play in the waves. But sometimes it is too rough to go out past the break. Roca Blanca, about 20 mins walking/5 mins in car, is a protected bay and is always safe to swim, and it has local restaurants on the beach where you can get fresh seafood and drinks.
