Located meters from a secluded stretch of Pacific coastline, Casa Tiny has established itself as one of the most sought-after reservations in Mexico. This compact, eco-friendly home (there's no AC or internet) is the perfect place to get away from it all, whether for a couple’s retreat or a solo trip to relax and enjoy a swing in the hammock.
The Design
Casa Tiny was designed by up-and-coming Mexican architect Aranza de Ariño, inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s novella Walden. Conceived as a treatise on solitude, contemplation, and closeness to nature, Casa Tiny combines a laid-back aesthetic with a chic brutalist twist.
Casa Tiny's minimalist design and raw materials encourage introspection and reflection, inviting a moment for perfect tranquility. While its sturdy concrete walls are a far cry from Thoreau's humble forest abode, its unadorned nature sits in perfect harmony with the surrounding jungle and ocean breeze.
The Space
The one-bedroom mezzanine house features a pool, kitchenette, pizza oven, and breakfast bar extending through French windows out onto the patio. Surrounded by lush vegetation and the soft sound of the breaking waves, Casa Tiny will take you back to basics without sacrificing the finer things.
The Neighborhood
Casa Tiny is located in the exclusive beach-front neighborhood of Punta Pajaros, 30 minutes from Puerto Escondido Airport (PXM) and 45 minutes from downtown Puerto Escondido. The neighborhood—if you could call it that, considering its simplicity and isolation—features three small restaurants (that close early), a mezcal bar, and a handful of art galleries.
Punta Pajaro’s crown jewel is Bosco Sodi’s famed Casa Wabi, an art studio and exhibition space built by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Rent a car or take a taxi to get here; don’t plan to go anywhere. This is a spot to relax and forget the world.
