Is Proyecto Maloca the right place for my weekend or vacation?
  • If you enjoy walking and connecting with nature, this is the place for you. The cabins, beach, and common areas are accessible via natural trails and hills, which may require some physical effort.
  • We recommend keeping this in mind if you're traveling with young children or older adults. Remember, we are in a natural environment with dirt paths and mostly open-air spaces.

Can I bring children?
  • We recommend visiting with children over 5 years old who are able to walk on their own.
  • While guests of all ages are welcome, please keep in mind that the environment includes uneven terrain, dirt paths on hillsides, open-air spaces, and bodies of water.

Do you offer restaurant service?
  • During peak season (December 24 to January 7, and Easter Week 2026), your stay includes three meals per day from our daily menu: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

    If you prefer, you can request the menu in advance to make sure everything suits your taste. Please let us know ahead of time if you have any special dietary needs. If you'd like a special dinner, it can be arranged at an additional cost. Children’s meals are served in half portions. For group stays, meals are also included (3 per day), with a minimum stay of 2 nights.

    Outside of peak season, meals are not included. The kitchen is shared among guests, so we recommend doing your grocery shopping in Lázaro Cárdenas (Walmart, local markets, Soriana, etc.).

  • Yes! From the entrance gate of Proyecto Maloca, head right by car and in just 5 minutes you'll reach the town of El Bejuco, known for its snacks and seasonal oysters. There you'll find beachside huts ("enramadas") and small shops where you can buy treats like cookies, chips, soft drinks, ice, and beer.
  • Continue along the same road for another 5 minutes and you'll arrive at Las Peñas, where you’ll also find beach huts and Don Luis’s store, which offers vegetables, fruit, eggs, ham, chorizo, and other essentials.

  • Please let us know in advance if you’ll be traveling with a pet.

Do you have Wi-Fi or internet access?
  • Yes, we have satellite Wi-Fi on the property. The signal reaches the terraces of each cabin.

Can I swim in the sea?
  • We’re located on the Pacific coast, on a long stretch of open-sea beach. If you’re not a confident swimmer, we recommend entering the water only when the waves are calm
  • Best season for swimming: November through late February, when the ocean is typically more tranquil.

How do I book?

Contact us via email or on Facebook at Cabañas Proyecto Maloca.

Reservations:

  • Minimum: 5 days in advance (due to limited signal)
  • Maximum: 3 months in advance

How does the composting toilet work?

The composting process begins with a balanced mix of nitrogen (human waste) and carbon (dry grass). Toilet paper, sanitary pads, and tampons can also be disposed of in the composting toilet.

Once the container in your cabin’s bathroom is full, its contents are transferred to the shared toilet compost chambers, where they undergo aerobic fermentation for at least 6 months. The result is rich compost that nourishes the soil and helps preserve the beauty of the natural environment.
