Why we built this.

You find the perfect beach town. The sunsets are unreal. The people are warm. The cost of living makes sense. You could actually see yourself living here for a month, maybe two.

Then you try to find a place to work from.

The wifi drops every hour. The desk is a wobbly shelf in a dark corner. By noon, the apartment is 35 degrees and your laptop is overheating alongside you. The "ergonomic chair" is a plastic stool. You spend three days trying to make it work, then you give up and move on.

That was our experience. Markus came to Mazunte from Germany, looking for a base to work remotely from the coast. Adriana grew up in Oaxaca and knew the region inside out. We both loved Mazunte for everything it offered, and we were both frustrated that there was nowhere in town designed for someone who actually needed to get work done.

So we built one. We hired Felix, an architect who understood the climate, and we spent months getting the details right: the desk depth, the wall insulation, the airflow paths, the socket placement, the chair height. We sourced parota and macuil wood from the region, commissioned ceramics from local artisans, and tested the Starlink connection until we were confident it could handle a full workday.

Casa Maradi opened its doors in late 2025. Every guest so far has given us 5 stars. Several have cancelled their next reservation just to extend their stay. That is the best proof we have that the idea works.

We built the place we wished existed. Now it does.
