In the heart of the Riviera Maya, Luna Encantada provides the perfect beachfront escape at this exclusive condominium. This newly constructed penthouse unit overlooks the infinity edge pool and turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean. Playa del Carmen has become one of Mexico’s most charming and unique international destinations with a three-story height restriction and a pedestrian friendly small town atmosphere.
The incredible location of Luna Encantada, places you beachfront and only one block from the center of the famous Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) walking mall. Here you will find a collection of boutique shops, restaurants, open-air bars and nightclubs. Visit Cozumel by ferry (just three blocks away), Isla Mujeres, Xel-ha, or the ruins of Chichen Itza, Coba, or Tulum. Whether your desire is to shop, golf, snorkel, scuba, windsurf, parasail, fish, bike, boat, jet ski, hike or walk, this home away from home places you in the center of it all!
Take a two-minute walk to beachside bistros for breakfast or lunch. Dinner choices range from regional Mexican cuisine to five-star dining. Or enjoy your own feast on your private roof-top terrace, fully equipped with a stainless steel Viking grill and sink, encapsulated by granite countertops. Custom benches, a picnic table, and two swinging hammocks complete the rooftop, making this the best escape whether reading a book, watching the sunset, grilling your fresh caught fish from the day, or simply entertaining!
This home offers guests a culturally perfected three-bedroom condominium, with no details overlooked. The three spacious rooms comfortably accommodate six people. The master suite, with attached bathroom and walk-in closet, has one king-size bed. The other two bedrooms have one queen-size bed each, with ample closet space, and share one bathroom.
A fully appointed gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops has everything you would need to make a gourmet meal. The bathrooms are luxurious with hand carved marble sink bowls and walk-in glass showers. Travertine marble floors cover and cool the entire condominium and spills out onto the private covered terrace before rounding the corner to continue up to the roof-top.
