Villa Tortuga is the perfect tropical paradise, located directly in front of one of the clearest and most gorgeous turquoise waters on the entire island. Its unique location north of town means that the reef is much closer to shore, which allows you to take a quick 20 minute kayak to snorkel or dive in one of the most spectacular and tourist-free areas of the protected Hol Chan Marine Reserve while enjoying the coral and umdersea life in a more private setting. An added perk is that there is not a wrist band requirement to kayak, snorkel, or dive out front and to the north, whereas it is required a bit south of the property. You will find an abundance of pink and purple cocoplums growing on the property, and plenty of coconut producing trees year round. In the spring, you will be delighted by the yellow butterfly migration; in the summer at dusk you will see fireflies in the bushes, and enjoy the year round harmony and beauty of tropicall birds singing, and the majesty of the local herons and pelicans iving, and the wonderment of the soaring frigates.
