A house by the sea, surrounded by untouched nature.

Aerial sketch of Casa Malandra

Casa Malandra is a beachfront residence on the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. A project of multi-awarded architect Alberto Calleja, who conceived it as a retreat for enjoyment: accessible rooftops, an outdoor cinema projection area and multiple water environments.

Four bedrooms and the Palapa, surrounded by untouched nature, make your stay an unforgettable experience. Casa Malandra is one of four neighboring signature beachfront houses by Calleja.

The house is distributed in three isolated pieces: two separate rectangles, out of phase, in concrete and wood, floating above the natural water mirror and holding the rooms; and the Palapa, with the social areas, pool and fire, built with local materials.
