Superadobe Dome Complex. Half Meter thick rammed earth walls make  for cool rooms (literally and figuratively).  Each side can be rented separately see our other listings.
Vista a la playa desde la piscina. La tela de sombra ayuda a mantenerlo refrescante y no se calienta con el sol oaxaqueño. 
Un espacio imaginativo para encontrar a tu niño interior
Gated entrance with  key pad security. On top is one of the best spots to see the sunset while enjoying a beverage.
New Ruins is about embracing decay and change. Build something good and you could be lucky enough to become ruins one day. If not, just dust. Our ruins will be a permacultured food forest and terraced gardens.
The Snackycito is above the store and has great views of the ocean and sunset. There are 4 picnic tables.
For your convenience we have select items for sale in the store. Mexican made natural wines, beer, mezcal, natural beauty products, clothes, snacks and art.
If you like surfing, you can grab one of our boards and head to Roca Blanca 10 mins away.
We dont believe in using exotic tropical woods, that's not eco. 90% renewable and local Coconut used. Once old and tall, it no longer gives good coconuts and is more difficult to harvest. Time to mill 6m long straight beams and plant some more.
We are off the grid. We produce our own energy. We pump our own water.  We pipe in internet via long range microwave antennas. 
All of these come with their own set of problems. But the reward is worth it. 
We give workshops on off the grid living.
Welcome home. Our superadobe complex is ecological, elegant and comfortable. Made from recycled food sacks, rammed earth, barbed wire, chicken fence and finished with concrete.
The thermal mass of the half meter thick walls ensures its cool inside on the hottest days. If you dont mind sharing, each side can be rented seperately, check our other listings.
La piscina tiene vistas al mar, una isla y varias hamacas, sillas colgantes o una gran red de suspensión. Tiene 1,5 metros de profundidad, sin fin poco profundo; niños con cuidado
Oaxacan Art legend  Francisco Toledo's tile design. Google him if you are heading to Oaxaca
100% Oaxacan Design all day.
Stairs up to the loft can be a little tricky for some people. So put your more agile friends up in the loft. Kids would love it, if they were invited, but they are not.
Loft of the dome is a cozy space for extra friends to come on your adventure
Queen bed and 3 port windows facing sunrise, the ocean and sunset
First floor of The Cone with palapa roof and private terrace. Floor and walls are cool to the touch making for a very comfortable space. Simple but usable spaces to unpack and settle in.
Every room comes with vintage kimonos. If you like yours so much you can buy it or we have others in the store.
Its airbnb so thoughtful touches like mezcal, incense and who knows what else.
Go Exploring!
Private lounge with  ocean view. Move the table to the side and its perfect yoga for 2.
Its dry season in this photo, Abril - June. The rest of the year you have a lush green landscape in front of you, but without sacrificing the ocean view.
The bathroom connected to your rooms have shower, sink and pee only toilet. A 20 meter walk required to reach a number 2 toilet.
We are taking care of you even in the natural details.
Shared kitchen among all the houses.  Mosquito screen keeps bugs out, but at the end of the day its an open air kitchen in the jungle, so cleanup after yourself and don't leave food out.
 We provide drinking water.
Knifes are sharp. Custom stainless steel gas stove with cabron steel griddle. Skillets are prolly scratched up thanks to the last guy, no worries.
All the grey water goes to our bananas.
Hide from the sun and work on your laptop from the dining room.  With the fan on its one of the coolest spots on the property midday. Hard to beat the pool, but this is close to the fridge and the bar, so there's that.
We built our kitchen into the preexisiting rocks, using the same super adobe technique. Playing with the rocks to create a multi-leveled area under the same roof.
"When life gives you lemons, grab tequila and salt!" - some guy 

Well we have a tree full of limes less than 10 steps from here. You do the math.
Fun Corner. This is where you can grab a hat, sunglasses, a kite, a board game, a hula hoop, a fire extinguisher, or some sunblock. Beachy things can be found here, no guarantee, things come and go and stay. I'm not gonna lie, guitar is out of tune.
Martha is a unique and indespensible element of New Ruins. She's always smiling like that.
We like to garden.
Campeche is a beautiful hard wood that grows here natively. We propagate good local species around our 3 hectares of property.
Tirso, Martha's other half, is our resident whistler, gardener, opens coconuts and makes sure the machetes are too sharp for kids to use. #NoKids
It's a metaphor. Hopefully your stay with us will plant a seed for you in your life, inspiring you to grow.
Sometimes a tool just gets retired right on the spot and we grow mint in it. #MoijtosMoProblems
#OverGrowTheGovernment
Nothing  good comes easy and nothing that comes easy is good.
We are are far from self-sustaining with our food production. But we put lots of love in and sometimes get spicey treats  as gifts. When preparing our meals for you, we used as much as possible from the garden.
All our water comes from one of two wells on the property and pumped using solar energy. This same water is filtered for drinking.
Amaranth the super grain. We have many super foods planted: Moringa, Chaya, and Noni (just to name a few)
There is no glass recycling in the area, so we make glass bricks by cutting bottles in half. The left over necks make perfect planters to get our tomatoes started in.
As spicey as our knifes are sharp. You have been warned
We can wash your clothes. 100pesos a load
One of 2 composting toilets. We consider the work of maintaining our toilets to be humbling act of work and essential to complete nature’s process. Humans are at the top of the food chain, we eat the best and most nutrient rich foods available.
The waste from our kitchens goes back into our food system; so should our bodies’ waste.  Instead of contaminating our groundwater using chemical fertilizers to grow food and septic systems, we prefer to be part of a complete system, adding nutrients
Enjoy a sunrise beach view while making an organic contribution to our compost. We recycle all waste from kitchen and the human body. Our dry composting toilets waste no water while completing nature's cycle returning all nutrients to the garden.
Facts:
The oldest building on the property.
We recycle all our organic waste, with no water squandered in the process. 
Later, someone will shovel your organic waste. Appreciate that.
1% of Earth’s water is fresh and available. Why contaminate it?
Remove lid and put the seat down.
TCB  (Take Care of Business)
Toilet paper goes down the hole.
Put 2-3 scoops of sawdust down
Sprinkle around for best coverage
No need to conserve
Replace lids on hole, toilet paper and sawdust
We have chickens, peafowl and turkeys. There are many native birds. All make noise. This is a great place to observe birbs in their natural habitat. We can loan you multiple books on their indentification. Also check out Cornell's birdnet.. wow!
 Until the day it ends, New Ruins is a work in progress. Curtail your expectations of a polished resort. We are hard workers and theres always something going on.  There will always be seams where the new mets the old. We can loan you a Come Along

Dome House in El Venado

SuperAdobe Complex: 3 Earth Domes w/ pool

Entire Place • 8 guests • 3 bedrooms • 5 beds • 3 bathrooms

Isolate yourself in our hidden permaculture paradise in our 3 SuperAdobe Domes w/ pool, just 3 minute walk (100m) to an empty beach w/ palapa hangout. Fast Wifi everywhere. Meals available on request. Great swimming @ Roca Blanca 1 mile away. 30 min drive to Chacahua National Park, Bioluminescent Laguna and Hot Springs. Each half can be rented seperately check profile for other listings. #wildlifeWatching #PermaGlamping #OffGridLuxury 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 city's touristic zone, and are instead 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 a transformational experience of a perfectly balanced world, where you consume only what you need and find comfort in simplicity. 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 Dome Complex: 3 round SuperAdobe earthen round houses. The half a meter thick earth walls keep it very cool during the day and night. The Cone has a queen bed, simple furniture, including a computer chair and a ceiling fan on the first floor, while 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. The Dome has 1 queen bed on the first floor and another queen bed in the loft, its considered a 1 bedroom because technically in the same large room, but the loft makes each space feel more private, theres also a computer chair. The Cone and Dome share a bathroom with shower and Pee Only Toilet and needs to use our composting toilets for number 2. The Temple is our newest Earth Dome, it has two private terraces, a king bed that can be seperated to make 2 singles and has private bathroom with flush toilet (a first at New Ruins and makes use of a biodigestor) 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 spices, oil we make available. 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. There are 3 employees on the property, cleaning, maintenance, pool. you will see them and they are here to help with whatever. The owners Nico, ximena and 5 dogs live on the back part of the large property in a house up on the hill, more than 50M away. Keep to themselves but be available to help with whatever. help you go exploring in the area. 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, the rooms are bug free with mosquito screen on all doors and windows, but this is the jungle (there is life). Showers are not heated, but it's hot so the cold shower is good. We are far from stores. Bring any medicines, personal items. The room has indoor bathroom with toilet. The other 2 domes share a bathroom w/ 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 is sometimes unsafe 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 that's down the coconut lined dirt road 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.
