Location: Tulum, Quintana Roo, Yucatan, Mayan Riviera, Mexico (5 km (3 miles) South of Tulum Beach in Sian Kaan Preserve)
Accommodations: House W/Guest Casita, 3 Bedrooms + Library, 3 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Set within Mexico’s largest Caribbean nature preserve, Sian Ka’an, amid tropical gardens on one of the world’s most secluded and unspoiled beaches is CASA LUNITA, the place where luxury and privacy merge.
A self-sufficient, ecologically friendly home, generating its own electricity through wind and solar energy, Casa Lunita is the ultimate in eco-chic for the environmentally conscious vacationer.
The property is comprised of a newly completed main residence (the casa), a poolside guest house (the casita), a secluded beach, a hand-tiled custom pool, and a private dock. All are gracefully connected by stone patios and walkways. Both of the buildings parallel the beach, providing excellent ocean views, refreshing sea breezes, and the constant, soothing sound of the breaking surf. The house is cooled by constant off shore breezes and ceiling fans. However, optional air conditioning is available (see below).
The main house has a comfortable, airy design with a large open living room connected to a fully appointed kitchen and circular dining room. The kitchen and living room are separated by hardwood and a marble breakfast bar/island. This room is surrounded by tall windows, native hardwood trim and Mexican folk art decor which makes the Casa a warm, luxurious spot to pass the day or night. Adjacent to the main living area ia a gracious bedroom with adjoining bath with a large, open, tiled shower. On the second floor, a library that opens onto a balcony has a sofa bed that sleeps two additional guests. A circular outdoor stairway provides access to a roof sundeck with spectacular views of the bio-reserve and coastline.
The Casita is two-storied with a bedroom and private bath on each level. The upper level bedroom has a handcarved king size bed, fully tiled bath and private balcony with ocean views. The lower level bedroom has twin beds, a beautifully crafted armoire and tiled bath/shower. All the furniture is custom made by local craftsman using exotic hardwoods. In addition to the bedrooms, there is a small living room with built-in bar and small refrigerator.
Just step out your door and stroll down the empty white powder sand beach for miles or walk through the mangrove forest to the large dock to relax in a hammock or take a kayak out to explore the gentle waters of the lagoon, teeming with wildlife. From the rooftop sundeck of Casa Lunita, the 360 degree panoramic view of the Boca Paila peninsula will leave you awestruck and provide the perfect spot to watch sunrises and sunsets. These breath-taking vistas create a sense of the property’s location within an enchanting bio-reserve surrounded by verdant forests and bodies of water.
Just a short drive away are a wide variety of restaurants, bars and lounges, ranging from Thai cuisine to handmade Italian pasta and wood-fired pizza. Fantastic local fare and fresh seafood is readily available as well as a weekly salsa party with live band. We would be happy to recommend a few. Also available to the north are many tour companies, yoga classes, day spas and gift shops to explore and enjoy.
