Sophisticated Spa Style Beachfront Villa with Heated Pool
Ah! Villa is a showcase of sophisticated design and coastal living on Jade Bay in Akumal. Behind an ornate iron door, guests are welcomed into a dramatic foyer with soaring ceilings and dual staircases. The main level flows into a light-filled living room and a dining space for 12, anchored by a chef’s kitchen with top-tier appliances and island seating. Indoor and outdoor living connect seamlessly through a pergola-shaded lounge, wrapped by a curving pool and hot tub with ocean views.
Upstairs, three oceanfront suites each feature king beds, marble en-suite baths, and private terraces overlooking the Caribbean. A fourth king suite with private entrance faces lush gardens and the sea. The stand-alone casita includes two queen beds and its own bathroom. Every bedroom, plus the living room, has air conditioning, while the dining and kitchen areas are cooled by breezes. Outdoor spaces include a yoga and meditation area, hammocks, beach loungers, BBQ, and tropical gardens leading directly to the sand.
Guests benefit from daily housekeeping, concierge support, parking, purified water, and beach towels. Jade Bay is a gated beachfront community, just a short walk from Akumal Bay’s restaurants, dive shops, and ecological center. A rental car or driver is strongly recommended for excursions to Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Riviera Maya attractions, as there’s no direct road from the villa to town and public transportation runs only from the highway, nearly two miles away.
The villa’s palapa-inspired design is both tropical and sophisticated. Beach towels and purified water are provided. A yoga and meditation area in the garden offers a quiet retreat. Families, couples, and groups love this villa for its privacy, service, and location near Akumal’s attractions. Daily housekeeping service is provided. Parking, beach towels, and purified drinking water are provided.
KINDLY NOTE: South winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Rivera Maya. While the situation is hard to predict for each specific week and area, we would like you to be aware as there is the potential to impact the beach and water entry.
The Riviera Maya is full of natural beauty, places to explore and opportunities for outdoor activities. We have a great list of activities and adventures completely unaffected by the arrival of sargasso that we would love to share with you. There is so much to see and do in this special place, we know that you will have an amazing and memorable vacation!
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 5.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Absolutely beautiful home
This home is stunning. Chino & Anita were an absolute dream team and we will miss them both. The home is very open and the pool is AMAZING! Only one thing worth mentioning….2 of the rooms are not part of the main house so if you are traveling with kids keep this in mind. Hope to stay here again very soon because we love Akumal as the best vacation spot in Mexico.

Perfect house and perfect location
The house is better than the pictures. The pool and hot tub were perfect. You’re on the beach. They even had caretakers there who did the cleaning and some cooking for us. Couldn’t say enough about how helpful and nice they were. The master bedroom set up was terrific. Comfortable beds, huge house. Definitely want to go back with an even bigger group as you would have plenty of space and wouldn’t have to worry about running into people. Very close to Playa Del Carmen and Tulum both. And the golf course is virtually across the street. Definitely give this place a look if you’re interested .

Lovely!
The house is beautiful. Location is amazing— right on the beach with great snorkeling. Housekeeping every day. Meals prepared with advance notice. Our family loved it and can’t wait to return.

Fantastic Family Vacation
We booked Ah, Villa for a Family Vacation and had the time of our lives. There was 8 of us including our adult children and significant others, and our mother. The accommodations worked exceptionally well for the entire family with more than enough room for all of us to be together, and yet everyone had their own spaces to retreat to.
Everything about Ah, Villa was as good as advertised, if not better. The pool, hot tub and outdoor veranda were exceptional and in constant use. The beach area and oceanfront was beyond our expectations as the sand was perfect and the water was crystal clear. We fully enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board and snorkeled out at the reef right in front of the villa several times. We were even fortunate enough to witness a nest of turtles hatch right on the beach in front of us one evening and make their way down to the ocean - it was an event none of us will ever forget.
Anita and Chino went absolutely above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We had them prepare most meals for us, which were all fantastic. We truly enjoyed getting to know them as they are so warm and friendly. They even made a special “Birthday Celebration” on my wife’s birthday - we hated to say goodbye when it was time to leave.
David, the manager was very attentive and arranged airport transfers and transportation to everywhere we wanted to go (Tulum Ruins, Xel-Ha, golf, and Playa del Carmen are all very close). We highly recommend Ah, Villa.

Best Family holiday ever! And we’ve holidayed around the world!
Fabulous home, stunning location, excellent on site staff (Chino and Anita), our superior concierge
(David), and our caring and present property manager (Scott). My entire family was agog with pleasure the minute we got out of our airport transfer at Ah Villa. Bags were dropped as we made our way inside the grand front doors, to the sweeping staircases. No time to look at rooms as we were discovering the pool area, path to the clean white sand beach and the crystal waters beyond. Ah Villa has it all! Kitchen is huge and well equipped. Bedrooms are spacious, comfy beds, and bathrooms in every room. Most of our time was around the pool, beside it or in it (and the massive hot tub.) And of course on the beach at the waters edge. Seaweed raked away every day leaving us pristine beaches to enjoy. Swimming and snorkeling are my favourites and needless to say I was in heaven. We also arranged for groceries to be delivered for arrival. And had chef prepare a local dinner for our first night. Delish and very much appreciated. After that we did a little of our own cooking since my boys are foodies and then frequented both upper and lower Akmal town for most of our other meals. Ah Villa is perfectly located around 20 minutes to Tulum and just a tiny bit further to
Playa Del Carmen. The family has asked if we can come back to Ah Villa next year (or sooner). Our highest recommendations to this fabulous home and superior staff. And heartfelt thanks for best family vacation!
