Zipolite
The Alquimista has rustic-boutique thatch-roofed cabañas just off the beach (all with king-sized beds and air-con) and big, bright rooms set back up the luxuriant hillside with ample terraces. The decor is all about hammocks, lazy terraces, trance music and twinkling oil lamps at night.
One of Zipolite's best restaurants is here too, plus there's a good pool and a spa, Espacio Shanti, which uses locally made organic materials.
