About this property

Awarded - BEST Staffed Villa in Mexico, Caribbean and #1 Private Resort in World

Maxim Magazine calls it “A LUXURY RESORT WITH THEME PARK ATTRACTIONS, GOURMET MEALS AND BESPOKE SERVICE.”

PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA boasts multiple buildings, stocked bars, heated pools/hot-tubs, 250 feet waterslide, 25 feet waterfalls, 3 theaters, children’s playhouse & game room and live stage performances available! However, what our guests rave most about in the below reviews is our friendly staff of over 40 butlers, bartenders, actors, acrobats, animal handlers, maids, musicians and rotating private chefs.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Less than you think! “Imagine planning an anniversary with your husband to an overwater bungalow and you realize that with that same money you could take your 18 best-friends on a dream vacation to private resort... that's exactly what happened with our group.” Josie Kelly from Dallas, TX explains. Prices change drastically by season with back-to-school time being the lowest. However, for much less than the cost of luxury hotel rooms, family groups up to 24 people can have this entire award-winning villa to themselves.

> NO RISK DEPOSIT - PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA is not a regular villa. It is a full-service experience with food & beverage, entertainment that require more space than allotted here for the daily menus, etc. Due to VRBO rules we can’t provide the PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA direct website link or contact info here on VRBO until a reservation is made through VRBO but we will return your deposit if you are not happy within 5 days of gaining direct contact with us.

PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA is located directly on Cozumel’s Marine Park where some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world is enjoyed along with a kaleidoscope of blue seascapes that will take your breath away.

THE GREAT ROOM boasts a giant theater screen that descends over the ocean view at night, DTS surround-sound, gather-around Hibachi griddle dining experience and a hilarious Shadow Theater. Here children & adults go backstage, select music videos and props to make their lighted silhouettes move like the artists and delight the crowd.

1 & 2 BEDROOM MASTER SUITES (Sleeps 24), 9.5 total including a 2-bedroom family suite connected via a common bath and the Camp Coz family castle which has a built-in 2-level Disney themed kids fort with bunk beds, fireman’s pole and party kitchen play area. Two have fold down murphy beds and 5 boast ocean-front indoor/outdoor bathrooms. MAID SERVICE TWICE DAILY with freshen up and turn down each evening.

WATERSLIDE GOES THROUGH THE HOUSE! The centerpiece marvel of theme park Imagineering is a 250 feet waterslide with sound & lightshow. Guests board the Penthouse Plummet on the roof of the Sunrise tower building and drop more than 40 feett! After rapid twists & turns, riders fly through the game room and staff kitchen, then soar over everyone’s head at the Flyin-Mayan swim-up bar in a lighted see-through tube.

WHAT IS ALL ISLAND EXCLUSIVE? It’s modeled after the royal treatment that VIP's savor on a staffed Superyacht! Our new vacation concept is designed to give affluent travelers what they want before they even know that they want it - and not only at Private Paradise but all around this remarkably safe island. Butler/bartenders are available to travel with guests on, off and even in the water to continue to pamper them while on tours, beach picnics and yacht cruises.

LOCATION/AIRPORTS – Unlike mainland Mexico, Cozumel is an isolated dot in the Windex-blue colored Caribbean. CRIME HERE COMPARES AT LESS THAN 1% OF MAJOR USA CITIES because guns are outlawed and criminals have to wait for a ferry to escape. Private Paradise, just minutes away from the international airport, is on the populated side along the golden-mile of resort beaches with Dreams, Secrets and a plethora of beach clubs as neighbors. This is the west (leeward) coast of the island so it enjoys amazing sunsets and doesn’t get the wind-blown brown seaweed that plagues Cancun and the Riviera Maya. It's also just a 30-minute ferry ride and a 40-minute cab ride from the Cancun Int. Airport. Guests can fly into either airport and our concierge will help arrange transportation.

MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACH ON THE ISLAND - The untouched remainder of the land mass is truly nirvana. Here your butler and bartender can continue to pamper you on the Virgin Beach Picnic & Tiki Bar tour. You will see miles of deserted powder white beaches dotted only with little grass shacks where tropical drinks are served in carved-out coconuts. Some also offer whole fried fish and lobsters speared there the same day. Your personal handlers are always nearby, bringing the beach chairs umbrellas, coolers, sound system and they even lead fun barefoot games & line dances in the sand.

WHAT IS ALL ISLAND EXCLUSIVE DINING? At all other villas, the same chef prescribes the recipes for all the meals and by weeks’ end, the food all starts to taste the same. You wouldn't go to an Asian restaurant and ask the chef to cook Italian or a Mexican restaurant and ask them to make sushi but essentially that is what people do when they stay at other villas! At PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA you will experience the finest culinary art of rotating world class specialty chefs so no two meals are ever the same! We also help guests experience the night vibe at the three finest restaurants with hard-to-get reservations. New York Weekly describes it, “Rotating world class chefs cook only one day per week so the culinary variety of treats are second to none.”

NEXT TO THE BEST BEACH CLUBS - At the PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA shoreline, guests lounge in over-water nets and enjoy massages in the Seaside Spa with gentle breezes and the southing sound of the Caribbean below. Meanwhile just steps 17 steps away puts you in waist high crystal-clear water where watersports lovers can snorkel, swim or paddle board or just hang out with friends as your butler shuttles drinks, snacks and champagne.

ENTERTAINMENT OPTIONS - PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA was designed with stage lighting, lifts and thunderous sound to host live shows on our Seaside Stage AND Club 33 stage. For about $100 per person added cost, guests enjoy entertainment 7 times per week including musicians, magicians, actors, acrobats, dancers & exotic animal handlers.

“The property transcends you to an alternate reality”. Maxim Magazine

MEALS & UNLIMITED BEVERAGE PLAN - provided by our local catering partner costs $113 per person, per night. This includes food and beverages served at the villa, bar staff and restocking charge for the owner's private bars, hot breakfast and lunches served daily, poolside appetizers including lobster, caviar & shrimp, private chef prepared dinners every other night.

Tipping the traditional 20% for good service on the food & beverage package upon check out is much appreciated. We also recommend a minimum tip of $15 per room per night for the villa staff. Tips gets distributed to many people, including the concierges, Private chefs, maids, porters, pool, gardener staff and staff behind the scenes.

ROYAL WEDDING WEEK PACKAGE OF DREAMS - For the cost of an upscale wedding reception in the USA, friends and family will be blown-away by this week-long, extravaganza for up to 150 people, created by designer John Giovanni Cacciutti for his son’s wedding.

Unbelievable getaway with friends
We visited with a group of 9 adult couples and had a fabulous time! Not only was the home amazing, the staff made it over the top! Jorge, Chi Chi, Mario, Daniel & many more helpful and friendly faces. We were impressed by the food and plenty of drinks. Entertainment package add on was fabulous (break dancers, mariachi band, sax player and more). They coordinated everything including all transportation. Highly recommended!

Best vacation EVER!
I had high hopes and high expectations that the reviews I read about Private Paradise Cozumel were correct. My expectations were exceeded beyond belief. The property is stunning, spacious, extremely well appointed, safely designed (especially for kids) and FUN! We loved the water slide, endless pool, the swim up bar and the palapas. What really stood out for us was the staff – they were incredible. In addition, the entertainment blew us away. Everyone in our group said it was by far the best vacation they have ever had and when can we go back! A special thank you to Pascal, Daniel, Jorge and Pancho! We miss you already.

Amazing!
This was the most amazing vacation we’ve had. The house is unbelievable and beautiful, but what makes this place so perfect is the staff. We had every need catered to each day, and they are all such wonderful people. The food was out of this world! We tried to come up with something they could improve on but can’t think of a thing! We can’t wait to go back!

Such an amazing vacation!
The property is truly breathtaking! It is exactly how it looks in all the photos. The house is beautiful, the amenities are fantastic and the all staff went above and beyond with anything and everything you can imagine and would hope for. If you are looking to relax and not have to think about your next move, this is the place to be. The only thing to take into consideration is if you are vacationing with elderly people. There are a lot of stairs in the house and there are no bedrooms on the first floor, all the bedrooms are on the second and third floors. So this is just something to keep in mind. But this place really is fabulous, there is nothing negative to say about it. It is truly an outstanding property. And all the food was so delicious, there was definitely no shortage there. I would recommend this property for family, for friends, for big groups or small groups, it can accommodate all parties. I cannot say enough great things about this property and hope to go back.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
Boston Herald calls John Giovanni's Slopes to Sands Dream Vacation Homes, "a renowned & highly-innovative vacation home company, offering many desirable destinations"

All Homes are owned by the Cacciutti family, close friends and relatives. Each masterpiece is the work of former automotive designer John Giovanni Cacciutti who now makes a hobby out of constructing luxurious and entertaining Estates, Villas, and Chateaus for the sole purpose of spending quality time with family and friends. Maximizing fun for all ages is his passion and it is obvious in the wildly creative and entertaining design elements in these properties.
However, these creations are only rented a limited number of times each year to families who understand that these are not hotels and respect them as very exquisite homes. Occupancy is by invitation - after a short screening process - and the Cacciutti family kindly requests that invited guests report irregularities upon check-in and take care to leave these homes the way they were on arrival.
John Giovanni Cacciutti believes that vacation home designing is an art extending way beyond material selection and the greatest reward is the group vacation fun that he designs-IN!

Private Paradise has multiple ocean-front master suites with magnificent bathrooms with lighted etched glass works of art but it is also an entertainment complex in itself, purposely designed for family and group reunions of all ages and in all seasons! Before drafting the house, we blueprinted the fun for every activity and part of our think-tank process was considering where adults and children of each age group would congregate together and on their own.

LA WEEKLY - "It's no wonder that the world's elite are gravitating to this hotspot for a private retreat." Why this property?

Why they chose this property

1) AWARDS 2) REVIEWS 3) ARTICLES 4) INNOVATION!
PRIVATE PARADISE VILLA is total new vacation concept and the buzz of travel media. Featured in over 30 publications online and winner of BEST in Mexico, the Caribbean and World Awards from Luxury Lifestyle Magazine, Modern Luxury Miami, Ocean Drive Magazine and New York Weekly!

2) RAVING Reviews, Reviews, Reviews! Read Over100 online from ecstatic customers and all 5-STAR!

3) ARTICLES - Travel Noire "A first of its kind concept has emerged at Private Paradise Villa". Boston Herald - on-demand service and stunning oceanside views that supersede a resort. Travelers Today Magazine - "ranking amongst the most exotic vacation spots globally!"

4) INNOVATION - How can Private Paradise’s design & All Island Exclusive program actually help groups get along?
Our focus groups identified that it can sometimes be difficult for groups to get along, so we outlined common conflicts and engineered solutions to help keep them from happening.
1. KEEPING PEACE – We designed multiple buildings, pools, stocked bars, cabanas with Bali-day beds and 5 ocean-view suites so that everyone sharing the rental expense can enjoy similar posh treatment and spread out! Teenagers have fun in the HD GAMING THEATER and we built a shallow splash pool, outdoor playhouse and Camp Coz – an enchanting two-level playhouse so toddlers have a place of their own to watch Cartoons and it’s just their size!
2. With our All-Island Exclusive program, your concierge advances payments and tips for most things and divides the expenses up onto guest’s check-out bills so there is no friction over who pays and what to tip. Also, the resort manager is the go-to person for requests, NOT the group organizer so everyone can enjoy their vacation.
3. FOSTERING LAUGHTER –Every group has comical personalities in it so the design team incorporated a unique stage with props and hi-tech electronics into the great room so these performers could really get the laughter going.

What makes this property unique

Flyin Mayan Stocked Swim-Up Bar!
Just imagine your friends & family soothing in 94-degree water and watching a game on a huge 72" TV while your personal bartender makes frozen craft cocktails and private chefs serve you burgers and ribs grilled right before your eyes on the barbie!

Bali-Day Beds
These amazing relaxation huts over the water and down by the Caribbean are designed after the Four Seasons Resort in Bora Bora and are designer John Giovanni’s favorite feature to enjoy in the whole property!
Each one features Jaw-dropping views, smart TVs where you can play content from your phone. They also have ceiling fans and outlets for charging so they are great places to work, and our staff will deliver food and beverages while you simply relax and have it made in the shade!

25 Feet Tall Waterfalls in Grand Entrance Hall
The pièce de résistance of the Private Paradise lobby are four 25’ tall lighted harmonic waterfalls that descend rhythmically from the towering 30 feet ceiling above. These works of art can be lighted in any color for any event - green and white tonight for your team’s colors? No problem.

CLUB 33 – Open Air Lobby Bar
Named after Walt Disney’s personal private bar hidden in the original Disneyland and closed to all but celebrities, Private Paradise CLUB 33 serves up the same exclusive experience in a swanky tropical setting. Designer John Giovanni explains, “We have stayed in some of the nicest villas in the world that also have bars but it’s simply not an elegant experience without a fully stocked bar, tall delicate glassware and top-
notch bartender to make you the finest craft cocktails. That’s why we hired an outside catering company to deliver all those things surrounding the dining hours when guests will be dining at the villa.
Club 33 boasts a 70-inch tv and is another great place to watch a sporting event with DTS surround sound.

Elite Traveler Magazine calls it "Pure hedonistic delight" & "the most unique and seriously fun paradise!"
