Sharing land with a high-rated hotel that was opened by a music industry veteran and is popular for weddings, this jungle sanctuary sits right on the sand.

Originally, it was one of the first private family beach houses in Tulum, and was built in 1996. A remodel in 2018 cemented its status as a classic, with a lovely contrast of bone-colored walls and dark woods, airy spaces and soft, arched doorways. Furniture was carved by woodworkers in Coba, while nest-inspired basket lamps were fashioned out of vejuco roots.

Come kick back with the sounds of the ocean waves and palms in the breeze from the living room, or climb the stairs – the rustic wooden handrail is a lovely detail – and read in bed or sway on a hammock of your own private balcony. The villa is a poetic point of return that welcomes you back after long days on the beach (right in front of the house).

Perfect for groups of couples or friends (no children please), this villa in Tulum can accommodate up to ten guests and has four beds and three baths. You will have your own oceanfront patio, large palapa terrace and gardens, with access to the common areas of the hotel that have dedicated drinking and dining service.

PRISTINE BEACHES AND MAYAN RUINS

Tulum’s ancient archaeological treasures and spectacular coastal beauty have seen the Mayan Riviera area expand with tourism in recent years but with over one million acres of protected biosphere to explore in the UNESCO Sian Ka’an and Parque Nacional Tulum, there’s room to explore.

The coastal resorts are bustling, but the town nestled into the jungle along the highway, is much more low key, with cheap and delicious eats and quieter streets away from the hustle.

The towns of Valladolid, Merida Bacalar, Playa del Carmen and Akumal, as well as the ancient Maya ruins of Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Ek Balam, Coba, Muyil, Xel-Há, are all within reach for day trips. Cozumel and Isla Mujeres are off the coast to the north close by. Cancún is the entry point for the area and is just over ninety minute drive.
