Carla
Beachfront Villa · Designed by Bosco Sodi · Up to 14 Guests
Concrete poetry
by the sea
Hidden in the beaches of Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Casa Carla is the perfect place to let go. A small taste of paradise on Mexico's Pacific coast, it sits surrounded by nature and breathtaking light blue waters — where the architecture is awe-inspiring and the service impeccable, ensuring that every stay is unforgettable.
Designed by Bosco Sodi — founder of Fundación Casa Wabi — and decorated by the prestigious interior firm Década Muebles, Casa Carla creates a peaceful environment that interacts with its surrounding beauty. Built from a combination of warm bricks baked by the sun and cool concrete underfoot, two distinct structures blend inside and outside living seamlessly — a covered terrace opening onto a pool, which in turn opens directly onto the beachfront.
Interiors are filled with sculptural wooden furnishings — including a dining table carved from an ancient hollowed tree trunk — alongside a green-tiled kitchen floor and accents of azure-blue textiles. Four bedrooms, each perfectly designed for the needs of discerning guests, accommodate up to 14 people across 527 square metres of considered, nature-inspired space.
Conceived as a place to open your heart and mind, and to let go into the embrace of nature.
Architecture and nature
in conversation
Terrace, Pool & Beach
The defining spatial sequence of Casa Carla — a covered terrace that opens onto a pool, which in turn opens directly onto the beachfront. Inside, outside, and ocean blur into one seamless experience.
Brutalist Architecture
Two distinct structures of warm sun-baked brick and cool poured concrete create an architecture that is both bold and deeply at home in its landscape — designed to have a direct relationship with the natural world around it.
Sculptural Interiors
Interiors curated by Década Muebles — a dining table carved from an ancient hollowed tree trunk, wicker furnishings, a vibrant green-tiled kitchen floor, and azure-blue textiles that echo the Pacific beyond the terrace.
Impeccable Service
The service at Casa Carla is impeccable — ensuring that every stay is unforgettable. Housekeeping, a fully equipped kitchen, and additional services available on request allow guests to arrive, let go, and leave the rest to those who know the house best.
Nature & Bioluminescence
Mangrove forests and wildlife at Laguna de Manialtepec, sea turtle sanctuaries at Ventanilla just along the coast, and the extraordinary phenomenon of bioluminescent tides at night — where the Pacific itself seems to glow beneath the surface.
Zicatela & Puerto Escondido
One of the world's top ten surfing destinations lies just down the coast — alongside a picturesque bay of rock formations, seafood restaurants fresh from the Pacific, and a coastal town that comes alive with legendary energy after dark.
