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, cactus and rocks. You'll have a nice beach practically all to your self. 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 Dome: a SuperAdobe earthen dome house, its 5 meters wide and 7 meters tall. The half a meter thick earth walls keep it very cool during the day and night. There are two queen beds, one on the first floor and one in the loft. The two spaces are separate, but slightly connected. There are ceiling and floor fans. Two couples comfortable fit.
The Kitchen is a separate building thats meant to be the heart of the property. Very large dynamic space with 4 dining spaces where 15+ people and is mosquito screened. This is shared between everybody. Its fully equipped. We expect you to bring your own specific food items.
Beach Equipment:
We can loan you all sorts of recreational items, including: 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, enjoy few marshmallows or hotdogs. Enjoy some star gazing
El Nido
High up on the 3rd floor of the kitchen is a huge palapa.. Go on up to the terrace to (literally) chill out in the afternoon, or wake up early and do some yoga. Best view on the property, great place to do yoga, read a book in a hammock or have a cocktail and chat with a friend. Multiple hammocks, hanging chairs, great breeze and ample room to spreed out
The Nico, Ximena baby Emilio and 4 dogs live on the property in a house up on the hill. There are daily employees on the property doing maintenance, cleaning and landscaping. We are not up in your space. You can interact with us 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, float down a river in an innertube, waterfalls, interesting towns.
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!
