Private oceanfront filming location near Puerto Escondido.

Mikasa is a secluded coastal villa in Puertecito for teams searching for a filming location Puerto Escondido crews can use for photo shoots, commercials, branded content, music videos, film/TV, creative retreats, and full-property base-camp lodging, starting with a quick shoot-fit check.

Why it works on camera

Guest-proven villa

Production logistics

Share enough to check fit, then build the production plan.

You do not need a finished deck to start. Date window, shoot type, crew size, spaces needed, and rough location budget are enough for a first pass. If it looks workable, we move into usage, permits, insurance, call sheet, and access terms.

Crew size
Share total headcount, talent, clients, glam, art, gear, drivers, security, and any visitors.
Hours and access
Share scout, prep, shoot, wrap, overnight, sunrise, sunset, and late-night timing needs.
Insurance
For larger commercial crews, we can talk through production insurance and liability coverage.
Permits
Permit needs may depend on public beach use, drone work, crew size, music, vehicles, and final usage.
Drone
Drone plans are easiest when shared early, including pilot, flight zones, time of day, and local restrictions.
Power and Wi-Fi
Share lighting, charging, data, livestream, generator, and backup power needs before quoting.
Music and sound
Music videos, playback, DJ scenes, and loud audio are possible only when timing and impact are agreed.
Parking and load-in
Send vehicle count, gear volume, arrival waves, and whether you need extended setup or security.

How bookings work

Quick shoot-fit check first. Scout or quote second.

Every production uses the villa differently. Once we know the date, footprint, and budget range, we can say whether the location is worth a deeper scout, soft hold, or quote.

Step 1

Send five basics

Date window, shoot type, crew size, spaces needed, and rough location budget.

Step 2

Confirm feasibility

We check availability, footprint, access, obvious permit or noise issues, and overnight/base-camp needs.

Step 3

Then send the deeper brief

If it looks real, add usage, deck, shot list, equipment, drone, insurance, permits, and scout needs.

Step 4

Quote and agreement

The quote is shaped around scope, usage, access windows, lodging, and production complexity.

Starting points

Production use is priced by footprint, hours, and final usage.

A location quote can include shoot-day access, prep or scout time, site representation, cleaning/reset, full-property lodging, base-camp use, power, security, parking, and a refundable damage deposit. Small shoots usually require a $1,500 deposit; larger commercial crews usually require $2,500+ plus insurance and a written location agreement.

Small content shoot

From $1,200/day

Best for small photo/video teams, light gear, approved spaces, and a simple 6-8 hour footprint. Usually paired with a $1,500 refundable deposit.

Commercial shoot

From $2,500/day

Best for brand, fashion, music video, commercial, or agency shoots with crew, gear, usage, and site support. Usually paired with a $2,500+ refundable deposit.

Large production

Custom from $5,000/day

For larger crews, night work, drone/stunts, activations, complex gear, multi-day access, or calendar holds. Insurance is required before access.

Production FAQ

Useful details before you inquire.

Is Mikasa available for commercial shoots and film productions?

Yes, when the brief is a fit. Mikasa can host photo, video, commercial, branded content, music video, film/TV, and production retreat inquiries.

Do you publish filming location rates?

We publish starting points only. Small content shoots start around $1,200/day, commercial shoots around $2,500/day, and larger productions are custom quoted around crew size, usage, access hours, prep/wrap, lodging or base-camp use, insurance, and impact.

Do we need permits?

Permit needs vary by scope, public beach use, drone work, crew size, audio, vehicles, and distribution. We can discuss the likely considerations once we understand the shoot.

Do you require insurance?

For larger commercial crews, yes, insurance and liability coverage may be part of confirming the booking.

Can crew or talent sleep at the property?

Yes, for approved full-property takeovers. Mikasa can sleep 16 comfortably and up to 17 by arrangement across five king bedrooms and two polished bunk rooms; lodging, holding, and wardrobe use are quoted with the production scope.

Can we shoot with drones or music playback?

Yes, possibly. Drone and music plans are easiest to review early because timing, local restrictions, neighboring areas, and production responsibility all matter.

Yes. Start with a quick shoot-fit check so we can confirm whether a scout visit makes sense and whether the date is potentially available.
