Casa Malagua is a boutique refuge and a love letter to Oaxaca’s coast. Nestled only forty meters from the Pacific surf, in the heart of Punta Zicatela, it unfolds as an elegant sanctuary where authenticity, craft, and the effortless luxury of simplicity converge. With six uniquely styled bedrooms that draw inspiration from varied regions of Oaxaca, the property weaves together vibrant textiles, handcrafted woodwork, and natural materials in a way that feels both timeless and intimately contemporary. It is designed not merely for lodging but for lingering: for waking to ocean breezes, for gathering in open spaces bathed in golden light, for sipping café por la mañana or sharing dinners under stars.
Born in 2021 from a collective dream of friends wanting to build more than a hotel—one that would be a home, a meeting place, a creative spark, Malagua embraces a philosophy of slow travel. Every detail, from locally sourced ingredients in its café-restaurant to the artisanal craft decorating its interiors, reflects deep respect for the land, the people, and the spirit of Oaxaca. Casa Malagua is both refuge and connection: guests escape from the everyday, yet feel profoundly rooted in place.
Its design balances openness and privacy, vibrancy and calm. Rooftop vistas frame sunsets over the sea, while shaded common patios and pools offer moments of rest. Whether travellers arrive seeking surf, serenity, community, or culture, Casa Malagua welcomes them with warmth and intentional design.
