About Us

A Tropical Paradise

We are a space
for creatives!

Arte y Arena is an artist residency nestled inbetween the ocean and the mangroves of Chacahua, Oaxaca. We are a place where artists, researchers, and other creatives can come to heal, make, and take a break from their usual lifestyle and surroundings. Residents are welcome and encouraged to explore their creativity while absorbing the raw nature around them.

Matteo bought the land back in December 2022 and his aim has always been to preserve as much of the natural landspace as possible Allowing for local wildlife to find it’s sanctuary here as much as people do.

He comes from a creative background and after living in some the most famous cities in the world he decided to make Chacahua his home.
