Perched on a cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this serene retreat center is designed for those seeking stillness, connection, and renewal.
With eleven private casitas and thoughtfully designed shared spaces, Zazil blends natural beauty with simple luxury. Each room is crafted to inspire peace and presence, featuring breathtaking ocean views, private patios, and a tranquil, minimalist aesthetic. Just steps from the water, you’ll fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake up to sunrises over the sea.
When you’re not on your mat or learning, you’ll find yourself lounging in a hammock, swimming in the infinity pool, meditating on the beach, or soaking in the wild beauty of Oaxaca.
