7 Best Puerto Escondido Coliving Spaces

1. Casa Flow Coliving and Surf House

Work. Chill. Surf. That’s the mantra at Casa Flow, a casual Puerto Escondido coliving community. 

Diego, a surfer himself, started Casa Flow with the intention to create a community of like minded individuals that want to live in Puerto Escondido to work and surf.

He prefers the community at the house to form naturally. So his goal was to create a space that feels so comfortable, guests discover Puerto Escondido organically while intuitively create their own outings with each other. 

The house includes 10 private rooms, two shared kitchens, and a large rooftop with ocean views. The rooftop becomes a gathering point for coworking during the day and chilling in the evenings. 

Even though the minimum stay is only 1 week, most guests stay one month or longer. Casa Flow has recently been taken over by Uriel who continues to foster a cool coliving community.

Casa Flow is the right choice for digital nomads in Puerto Escondido that want to be part of a digital nomad community with a surf focus.

Where is Casa Flow Coliving in Puerto?

Casa Flow is located in a quiet residential just a few blocks from Playa Zicatela, home of the famous Mexican Pipline. 

It’s a convenient location away from the nightlife and a short walk to the camionetas (shared taxis). It’s also a 5-minute walk to the Mercado Zicatela where you’ll find a variety of restaurants, produce, and kitchen staples.

Note – Playa Zicatela is not a swimming beach and the surfing here should be left to the pros. But you can walk or taxi to La Punta, a popular place to watch the sunset and surf in the evenings.

2. Bambú Corner – Casa Consciente

Bambú Corner is an eco-friendly coliving community located on the northern edge of La Punta Zicatela in Puerto Escondido. 

As a surfer, Marie fell in love with beach life when she arrived 8 years ago. But she quickly realized there were ecological issues that needed to be addressed as the area grew. 

Marie wanted to make an impact, even if on a small scale. So she designed and built a conscious coliving in Puerto Escondido with a small environmental footprint as an example of what is possible.

The structure is made of concrete and bamboo, and the walls are finished with a natural mud. All of the rooms include a private bathroom with an outdoor shower, some with an ocean view. And each room has a bed and a desk, both made of bamboo.

The underground cistern holds all the water needed for the property while rainwater is collected from the roof. And she built dry ecological toilets with an off-site compost.

For Marie it’s important that Bambú Corner is a peaceful, healthy, and sustainable coliving space. She desires to attract people that care about their impact on the environment while creating a sense community.

“The intention is to create a family willing to learn, share, and experience while centered around the idea of living in a responsible, alternative way that we feel good about and that Mother Nature would thank us for,” she told me.

For remote workers, you can choose to work from the desk in your room or the common areas which include a small terrace and two large tables next to the shared kitchen.

As a coliving community, Marie enjoys it when the residents do spontaneous activities together such as surfing, movies on the beach, waterfall adventures, and eating at the market. Although she stresses that at the same time, people have their own life and independence.

Bambú Corner is located in a quiet, local area about a 15 minute walk to the heart of La Punta. It’s five blocks from the ocean and slightly further to a swimmable beach.

It’s also a short walk to the highway where you can take a camioneta to other parts of Puerto Escondido.

3. Julio’s House at Puerto Bonito

After sailing around the world and connecting with people from all walks of life, Julio returned home to Puerto Escondido with a vision. He wanted to create a space where travelers could experience the town’s relaxed lifestyle while forming lasting connections as he had on his journey.

That idea became Puerto Bonito, a flexible coliving space with a community spirit. You can choose between a private studio, a private room in a shared apartment, or a shared room, all of which have the option of A/C. There’s also a communal kitchen, coworking areas, a pool, and a rooftop terrace with gorgeous sunset views over the ocean.

What makes Puerto Bonito special is the way Julio welcome you into the community. And shared spaces combined with regular events give guests the chance to get to know each other, whether that’s over a shared meal or hanging out on the rooftop for sunset. It’s the kind of place where you can focus during the day, then unwind in the evening with new friends.

Located close to Rinconada, Julio’s House sits in one of my favorite areas of Puerto Escondido. It’s quiet and peaceful yet just steps from local restaurants, cafes, and one of the best beaches for swimming. For me, the location strikes an ideal balance between convenience and tranquility.

4. Casa Losodeli

While some may not classify Casa Losodeli as a coliving space, I’m including it here because it’s a great place to stay if you’re a new digital nomad in Puerto Escondido.

Casa Losodeli draws a community of remote workers that are more focused and mature than travelers that tend to stay at the many of these Puerto Escondido hostels.

When you book a room at Casa Losodeli, the air conditioned coworking space is included in your stay. Plus, the places to work expand to the shaded garden area and the rooftop with ocean views.

When I stayed at Casa Losodeli, I was surprised at the number of people that were living there for a month or more. It was nice to connect with other remote workers in the evenings around the pool and bar and then in the mornings, see familiar faces behind the laptops.

Casa Losodeli has both private and small dorms available. The grounds include a large swimming pool surrounded by gardens, a well-stocked shared kitchen, and a third-floor rooftop where they host yoga and other classes.

One reason Casa Losodeli is one of my top recommendations to stay is the location. It’s conveniently located a short walk to Centro and on the edge of Rinconada. This area has the best beaches in Puerto Escondido for swimming, plus it’s close to lots of restaurants.

5. El Mundito Coliving

El Mundito, or The Little World, accurately describes what Hanna has created in this corner of Puerto Escondido, tucked between La Punta and Zicatela.

After traveling for five years, Hanna desired to form deeper connections during her travels. She created El Mundito Coliving with the intention of creating a space for long-term travelers to live together and form long-lasting relationships.

El Mundito is about community more than a business she explained to me. She wants guests to feel at home during their stay. 

For Hanna, the one-month minimum commitment is an essential part of her coliving community. Hanna handpicks the residents based on their passions and work industry to form a balance. 

“It’s a little magic I do,” she says, “I make friends already in my head.”

And magic she does create. Mundito has helped form lifelong friendships, travel partners, and even a romantic relationship that blossomed more than five years ago.

“El Mundito has brought so many people together… And that makes me very happy,” she told me.

It’s an organic space with a shaded garden that perfectly fits among the dirt roads of Tamarindos. The house has 7 private bedrooms, each of which features a desk and chair.

The communal spaces include several tables for working, a fully equiped outdoor kitchen, and several hammocks under the shade of the garden area.

While the average stay is 2-3 months, guests can only book the first month initially. Within the week, there is an option to extend the stay if it is a good fit for both you and the coliving community.

El Mundito Coliving Location

El Mundito is located in Tamarindos, tucked nearly equal distance between La Punta and Zicatela. It’s walking distance to the ocean, a cute cafe that doubles as one of my favorite coworking spaces in Puerto, and the camionetas that will take you to other areas of town for a few pesos.
