Architect-Designed 4BR Villa · Gated · Private Pool & Gym | Aldea Zama, Tulum

Private pool, hot tub on the master balcony, an outdoor kitchen built around an Argentine grill and a wood-fired pizza oven, and a parota wood dining table that seats everyone at once. Solar power with battery backup means the internet, TVs and fans keep running even when the neighborhood loses power.

Who's hosting you
Mamazul isn't a management company you'll never meet. Our restaurant and bar, Mamazul Tulum Mezcalería, is about 10 minutes away in Aldea Zama — more than 400 mezcales — and the same team looks after your stay. A concierge meets you on arrival. Groceries stocked before you arrive, a private chef for the outdoor grill, a mezcal tasting in the villa, transfers, a reserved table at the mezcalería: on request, charged separately.
Guest Access:
Access is simple. You enter La Privada with a personal QR code we send before arrival — the community is gated with 24/7 security, and each guest gets their own code. The villa has private parking for three cars right at the door.
A concierge meets you on arrival, shows you around the house and answers any questions you have. After that, your own door code gives you full autonomy for the rest of the stay. We'll send you full check-in instructions in advance, so you have everything you need before you arrive.
The Neighborhood:
Villa Tzabcan sits inside La Privada, the best-kept gated community in Aldea Zama, with 24/7 private security. It's a green, residential neighborhood that is easy to explore on foot or by bike.
Inside the community: a large shared swimming pool, a padel court (free, by reservation), walking and jogging trails, table tennis and shared leisure areas.
Restaurants, grocery stores, cafés, pharmacies and ATMs are all within a 10-minute walk. Tulum town and the beach zone are 5–10 minutes by car, 10–15 by bike. About 10 minutes away is Mamazul Tulum Mezcalería, our own restaurant and bar in Aldea Zama — open all year for lunch and dinner, and for breakfast in high season; more than 400 mezcales. As our guest you get 10% off food and drinks and a welcome mezcalita.
Getting Around:
Getting around Tulum is easy. Taxis are widely available, and Eiby Taxi and InDrive are two reliable app-based options with transparent, fair pricing. If you'd rather explore on your own, we'll help you arrange a car, scooter or bicycle — and the villa has private parking for three cars.
We can also arrange private transportation, charged per vehicle:
It's a convenient option if you'd rather not drive or look for parking in the evening. In high season, traffic adds time to every trip.
Other Things to Note:
• Children and infants are welcome. Please note the villa has stairs and the pool area is not fenced — adult supervision is needed around the pool. High chair available on request.
• La Privada is a residential community: small private events with prior approval, and quiet hours from 22:00. Family dinners, a birthday, a private chef for the outdoor grill and mezcal tastings inside the villa are all welcome within those rules, and we'll help arrange them.
• Padel court inside the community: free, by reservation.
• 10% off food and drinks at Mamazul Tulum Mezcalería, plus a welcome mezcalita.

Interaction with Guests:
A concierge welcomes you on arrival, shows you around the house and answers any questions you have. After that our team — the same people who run Mamazul Tulum Mezcalería — stays reachable by message or phone throughout your stay, and can arrange:
• A reserved table at the mezcalería
• Private tastings in the villa — mezcal is our specialty (Mezcalita Class, Mezcal & Chocolate, Mezcal & Tacos, Mezcal & Cheese), with tequila and wine tastings also available

The home and the staff here were wonderful! The home was very nice and the staff was extremely helpful during our whole stay. Highly recommend this home for anyone who is planning on visiting the area. We will definitely be back. 5 stars!
Amazing property with amazing management. Monica is a star and made our trip so enjoyable. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The photos do not even do this house justice. It’s huge and gorgeous!!
Villa Tzabcan in Tulum exceeded all expectations! The property is spotless, beautifully designed, and located in a safe, gated community. The modern amenities and stylish decor make for a luxurious and comfortable stay. The property manager is incredibly responsive and attentive. A fantastic bonus is the 10% discount at Mamazul Mezcaleria, the best restaurant in Aldea Zama:don’t miss out on their incredible mezcal selection and delicious tacos! Highly recommended for a perfect Tulum getaway!
The house was very nice. There were some issues with stained sheets that we had to ask to be changed. The washer and dryer to handle laundry was not available to us. We were told to use a laundromat in town. The jetted tub did not work either.
