Escape to a secluded permaculture paradise in our 3 SuperAdobe domes w/ pool, 3-minute walk (100m) to a wild, empty beach w/ palapa hangout. Fast WiFi throughout. Meals available. Swim at stunning Roca Blanca (5 min) or explore Chacahua, bioluminescent lagoon & hot springs (30 min). Part of a larger property: shared kitchen access; pool shared with all rooms. 2 domes share a bathroom next to room and require a short walk to a dry toilet ~20m; the 3rd dome includes a private full bathroom.

The space
We are an eco-conscious permaculture retreat center on a wild, empty beach between Puerto Escondido and Lagunas de Chacahua—just 100m from the ocean. 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.

We provide Manduka mats for retreats (only), shared spaces for gathering, and a layout designed for group flow and connection.

Set on 1 hectare above the ocean with fruit trees, gardens, trails, and epic views—plus surf, swimming, and bioluminescence nearby—New Ruins is designed for connection, creativity, and reset.

Guest access
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.

Other things to note
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.

Neighborhood highlights

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.
