Nearby is Sandcastle Alberto Kalach opened by Alberto Kalach at the end of 2024. The property of the 10-rooms consists of three tertiary barbaric towers to allow a combined contour to evoke the sand castle rising from the jungle, each level connected to the central courtyard, where two ancient Ceiba trees provide a natural cover tree above which a natural cover layer on one. Just on the dirt path Xiquean eight-bedroom property established by local Estudio Carroll.
Last but not least, Yuma HouseThis is a property of 25 rooms built by Mexico City architect Ricardo de la Concha and interior designer Sara Skalli, designed to seamlessly integrate it into a peaceful environment: a limestone and Resin finish called Chukum, applied to the walls and paired with wood, bricks and extending along the natural landscape, along the wood, brick structure while extending the beach.

Now, with direct flights connecting Puerto Rico Escondido to Houston, as well as upcoming services in New York and Los Angeles – the area’s development as a construction destination shows no signs of slowing down, especially when open KymaiaI was located between Mazut and Puerto Rico Escondido in the last few days of my trip. A boutique with 22 rooms designed by architect Ezequiel Ayarza Sforza seamlessly dissolves in the terrain of Wahakan. Although each two-story suite structure is scattered throughout the landscape, and although they are intended to evoke Japanese design principles, I can’t help but see echoes of ancient Mexican temples.

This approach to building – bright, exposed wood, uncovered clay – is like the natural development of several centuries-old design traditions in Oaxaca. Now, the hands that shaped the region’s famous Barro Negro pottery and woven textiles with chromosomal staining of local cactus insects, now collaborates with architects to create these contemporary structures. These materials can be cast in modern form, but philosophy remains the same: Working with what the Earth offers, letting elements guide design, respecting the skills of transformation. The Wahakan coast may be growing and changing rapidly, but at least the type of development feels like it’s always here.
