KYMAIA | PRODUCTORA

Kymaia, a haven that emerges on the Oaxacan coastal horizon, stands as a symphony between architecture, nature and design. The construction, conceived by entrepreneur Ezequiel Ayarza Sforza and sculpted by Productora, a Mexican firm known for its precise approach and timeless aesthetics, is inspired by the unique ecosystems of the region.

Each element demonstrates the commitment to the environment, through the use of techniques and materials that evoke the diversity and richness of Oaxaca. The pigmented concrete blocks and wooden structures integrate harmoniously with the landscape, creating a symbiosis between the organic and the constructed, tracing a silent but forceful dialogue with its surroundings.

The project is based on a deep commitment to sustainability, seeking to minimize its environmental impact while revitalizing the local ecosystem. Comprehensive solutions have been implemented that include the use of renewable energy — such as solar — and efficient water management systems, including wetlands that treat wastewater through ecological processes, reincorporating it into the ecosystem. The materials used in construction, specially selected because of their local origin, respond to aesthetic and ecological criteria, contributing to forest regeneration and soil rehydration, which had previously been affected by agriculture. These bioclimatic techniques make the most of natural resources — such as the sea breeze — to create passive comfort that doesn’t rely on invasive mechanical systems.

Kymaia offers a collection of 22 suites, carefully distributed to blend in with the topography of the resort. The four Ocean Front Suites are located in the highest areas of the resort, each measuring 51 sq. meters, which provides absolute privacy with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and large private pools that invite relaxation. The other rooms are grouped in structures inspired by pre-Hispanic pyramids. On the ground floor, the nine Senior Suites, measuring 74 sq. meters, have partial sea views and private pools, surrounded by gardens that merge with the horizon. On the upper floor, the nine Junior Suites, measuring 51 sq. meters, also offer ocean views and are equipped with hot tubs for a superior relaxation experience. Each suite has been designed using sustainable materials, large windows and terraces that connect organically with the exuberance of the surrounding environment.

Each space has been created to offer a unique sensory experience. Winding paths lead to contemplation spaces such as El Guayacán or El Humedal, where vegetation intertwines with wooden and concrete structures, providing shade and privacy. These corners invite a pause, a respite of disconnection that allows visitors to immerse themselves in the tranquility of the place. At Kymaia, theinteraction between design, architecture and landscape not only appeals to the senses, but also to the soul.

The interior design — by The Book of Wa — is a coherent extension of the hotel’s defining principles of connection to the local ecosystem. Each piece has been selected and designed to reflect the region ’s artisanal and multicultural identity. The custom-made wooden beds, daybeds and furniture still use assembly and dyeing techniques that preserve Oaxacan tradition. The color palette, dominated by earth tones and greens, evokes the region’s endemic flora, creating atmospheres that are both relaxing and revitalizing.

Kymaia is a place where architecture and design become a vehicle for experiencing the peace of the landscape in its purest state. The clean, geometric lines of Productora blend with the sinuous terrain contour, redefining luxury through respect for the context. In every detail, the commitment to sustainability is perceived, inviting the traveler to be part of a project that grows to the rhythm of nature.
