Where the Ocean Whispers and Time Slows Down
On the southern coast of Oaxaca, nestled between jungle-covered cliffs and the warm waves of the Pacific, lie Mazunte and Zipolite—two peaceful beach towns with a magical, off-grid vibe. These coastal hideaways are perfect for honeymooners who want to unplug from the world and reconnect with each other through nature, simplicity, and serenity.
Here, days are slow, the sand is soft, and every sunset feels sacred.
Unlike polished resort towns, Mazunte and Zipolite are raw, real, and healing. Think eco-lodges on the hillside, yoga retreats, starry nights, and fresh seafood by candlelight. The communities here value sustainability, spirituality, and the gentle power of the ocean.
Mazunte is a bit more laid-back and bohemian; Zipolite is known for its free-spirited attitude and clothing-optional beach—ideal for open-minded couples seeking freedom and adventure.
