New Ruins is built for wellness retreats, adventure groups, and creative escapes, hosting up to 20 guests. Expect Wild Comfort: rustic, immersive nature with thoughtful touches that make it feel easy and inspiring.
Wake up to birds, fall asleep to waves, and spend your days surfing, exploring, or slowing down. We’re far from the tourist zone—this is an experience in nature, not a resort.

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.

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.
