Casa Nopales is a secluded beachfront villa on the Oaxaca coast, designed as a fully immersive architectural experience. The home brings together the raw honesty of Brutalism with the softness of Biophilic design, creating a powerful dialogue between structure, light, and nature. Inspired by the poetic minimalism of Japanese architect Tadao Ando and the principles of indoor–outdoor living, the villa is conceived as a canvas for light — changing throughout the day as sun, shadow, ocean, and landscape interact with the architecture. Designed for guests seeking privacy, stillness, and connection to nature, the experience is intentionally immersive and exclusive. Open terraces, ocean views, and natural materials blur the boundary between inside and out, while the remote setting offers rare seclusion. Casa Nopales is a peaceful retreat for those who appreciate architecture, design, and raw coastal beauty, while remaining within reach of Oaxaca’s rich culture, food, and traditions.

Casa Nopales is located on a remote stretch of the Oaxaca coastline, surrounded by raw nature, open ocean, and protected landscape. The setting is intentionally secluded, offering a sense of privacy and stillness that is increasingly rare. The area is defined by wild beaches, dramatic sunsets, and a deep connection to the natural environment. There are no resorts or commercial developments nearby, and guests should expect a peaceful, off-grid atmosphere rather than walkable amenities.

The location is ideal for travelers seeking space, quiet, and immersion in nature, balanced with the option to explore Oaxaca’s vibrant culture at their own pace.
