Casa Naya, a villa rental in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca

An Architectural Triumph on the Coast of Oaxaca

Created as mirror-image volumes by renowned, RIBA-award-winning architect Héctor Barroso, whose work is focused on integrating local materials into the landscape and climate, Casa Naya was designed to be booked as a whole or in one of two parts.

The building occupies a leafy tropical hill outside of Puerto Escondido, rising above the vegetation for cool breezes and open ocean panoramas. Each of its two wings houses four guests in king bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Each volume also features a contemporary kitchen that's earth-toned and textured, an open-air dining area for a dozen guests, both indoor and outdoor living areas with trademark earthen styling, a shaded outdoor yoga and meditation area, and a dramatic saltwater pool.

Additional information

The home comes fully staffed, with breakfast included, daily housekeeping and a house manager. In addition, if you do not wish to leave the villa during your stay, grocery/liquor delivery and cooks for all meals are available upon request.

Please note: Casa Naya is on a plot comprised of two identical homes. Casa Naya No.1 and Casa Naya No.2 are both private, but you may rent them together for groups of up to eight guests.
