Plastic glasses are also provided for a safe pool or beachside option.

The center island offers three dining spots & enough counter space to prepare guacamole made from the largest, most fresh avocado you could imagine.

Opt for a morning Zoom call from the patio for ultimate envy from your co-workers as you enjoy the ocean breeze and a cup of coffee, or work poolside with use of the property-wide wifi.

For added convenience, our villa also features a fully equipped in-unit laundry room, making it easy to keep your vacation wardrobe fresh and clean– no need to overpack or worry about running out of clean clothes.

The unspoiled beach town of Akumal is a true gem of the Riviera Maya-- its protected beaches are home to a turtle sanctuary, offering some of the best snorkeling opportunities in the world to see these majestic animals. Join us May through October for turtle hatching season– this is when you are most likely to see them near the beach!

Visit the local fruit stand for fresh-picked produce in abundance. Use the provided cooler, 2 beach chairs, beach towels, and portable speaker for a day-long adventure to the beach with everything you need at your fingertips. Fall in love with the oasis which is Akumal.

Nestled quietly between Tulum and Playa Del Carmen, you have access to all the unique culture the Riviera Maya has to offer. Take the 20 minute drive to Tulum to enjoy immaculate boho vibes, or if you are feeling like a night out dancing, opt for the 30 minute drive to Playa Del Carmen! Both locations also have well-stocked grocery stores for all your necessities.

If you are looking for adventure, the Riviera Maya offers a variety of activities. Take a dip in one of the many natural cenotes, explore ancient ruins, or book a tour with one of the many local companies to experience all the area has to offer. Golf enthusiasts will be happy to know there are several public courses nearby, so pack your clubs and hit the fairway whenever the mood strikes you.

Guest access
You will never want to leave the community of SANTAMAR! This stunning new development boasts amenities galore– sparkling blue swimming pools with loungers & umbrellas, rooftop terraces with lounge areas & plunge pools, a fitness area, covered grilling spaces with built-in gas grills and a fabulous new beach club area, overlooking the Ocean, just across the street.

Beyond the beach club, enjoy the pier and sink your feet into the refreshing, blue ocean. Take a short stroll along the beach to find the perfect spot to spend the day or visit our neighbors at the Beached Bikini Bar and Grill for a cold beer, blended margaritas, and fresh food.

Other things to note
This is Akumal-Tulum, Mexico, there is construction happening everywhere. The population will double next year with the airport and train being complete. There may be construction in the complex, it is still being finished. At times, the power goes out, the internet goes down, the water stops, but only SOMETIMES. These things do happen and cannot be prevented. They usually come back quickly. There was 1 day in 2 months where the power was out all day, but that's the perfect time to head to the beach. In those 2 months, my power went out a few times but came back on within minutes, one time it was a couple hours. This is reality in Akumal-Tulum, it is growing so fast. Put that in your back pocket and know that a work day may have to turn into a beach day. It's like this now. Namaste.

Neighborhood highlights

it's very quiet, SECURE and peaceful here. we are off the highway, towards the beach. a car is best here, but it can be done with taxis and the collectivo. a 5 minute drive (20 minute walk) and you have dive shops and snorkeling areas, a lot of people watching and a couple restaurants & bars. there are also quite a few cenotes within a 10 minute drive. Santamar is staffed by security guards, 24/7. it feels very safe here. after a nice day out exploring, relax on our mezzanine and enjoy the panoramic views of the jungle and the sunset.

Where I went to school: Emery High & UVU
Speaks English
After 20 years of owning businesses in Salt Lake, I needed a little slow down. I have always loved visiting Mexico & before the pandemic, decided to invest there. The last 3 years I've been wondering if it was a good move. Now that they are complete, it feels great. The reason for choosing these specific residences is because it is so quiet & safe, w/24 hour security. Being here leaves me feeling relaxed, and grounded. I wish the same for you!
