El Mundito is a coliving space in the Tamarindos neighbourhood of Puerto Escondido, Mexico, founded in 2020 and designed for digital nomads, creatives, and long-term travellers. The house offers 7 private bedrooms with desks, a communal outdoor kitchen, and a shaded garden with hammocks, along with Starlink high-speed WiFi. A one-month minimum stay and a curated resident selection process keep the focus firmly on genuine community over short-term hospitality.
Tucked into the dusty, low-key streets of Tamarindos — the neighbourhood that sits almost perfectly between La Punta and Zicatela — El Mundito ("the little world") has been one of Puerto Escondido's most talked-about coliving experiments since it opened in 2020. It is not a hotel that added a coworking desk. It was conceived from the start as a place where people stick around, form real connections, and feel like they actually live somewhere rather than passing through.
The space accommodates up to seven residents at a time, each with their own private bedroom furnished with a proper desk and chair. The real life of the place happens outside those rooms: a communal outdoor kitchen fully stocked for cooking real meals, multiple work tables under the shade, and a scattering of hammocks in the garden for when the afternoon heat calls for a pause.
El Mundito's founder handpicks residents based on their projects, work industries, and personalities, deliberately mixing backgrounds to create a balanced house dynamic. The result is a micro-community rather than a revolving hostel. Lifelong friendships — and at least one long-term romantic relationship — have reportedly grown out of previous cohorts, which says something about the depth of connection the format produces.
The minimum stay is one month, and that is non-negotiable. It is the mechanism that filters out weekend tourists and ensures everyone who arrives has some skin in the game — both practically and socially.
Puerto Escondido has been steadily attracting remote workers drawn by its surf culture, warm climate, low cost of living relative to Mexico City, and a growing ecosystem of cafes and coworking spaces nearby. El Mundito sits at the quieter residential edge of that scene. The beach is walkable. Local colectivos run past the door for 10 pesos and connect quickly to the main strips of Zicatela and La Punta.
Connectivity is covered by Starlink, which handles the bandwidth demands of video calls and heavy uploads that older local ISPs have historically struggled with.
El Mundito suits nomads who are tired of the transactional nature of most coworking hotels and want something closer to a shared home — one that demands a commitment but rewards it with a genuine sense of place and community.
