About this property

Sophisticated Spa Style Beachfront Villa with Heated Pool

Ah! Villa is a showcase of sophisticated design and coastal living on Jade Bay in Akumal. Behind an ornate iron door, guests are welcomed into a dramatic foyer with soaring ceilings and dual staircases. The main level flows into a light-filled living room and a dining space for 12, anchored by a chef’s kitchen with top-tier appliances and island seating. Indoor and outdoor living connect seamlessly through a pergola-shaded lounge, wrapped by a curving pool and hot tub with ocean views.

Upstairs, three oceanfront suites each feature king beds, marble en-suite baths, and private terraces overlooking the Caribbean. A fourth king suite with private entrance faces lush gardens and the sea. The stand-alone casita includes two queen beds and its own bathroom. Every bedroom, plus the living room, has air conditioning, while the dining and kitchen areas are cooled by breezes. Outdoor spaces include a yoga and meditation area, hammocks, beach loungers, BBQ, and tropical gardens leading directly to the sand.

Guests benefit from daily housekeeping, concierge support, parking, purified water, and beach towels. Jade Bay is a gated beachfront community, just a short walk from Akumal Bay’s restaurants, dive shops, and ecological center. A rental car or driver is strongly recommended for excursions to Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Riviera Maya attractions, as there’s no direct road from the villa to town and public transportation runs only from the highway, nearly two miles away.

The villa’s palapa-inspired design is both tropical and sophisticated. Beach towels and purified water are provided. A yoga and meditation area in the garden offers a quiet retreat. Families, couples, and groups love this villa for its privacy, service, and location near Akumal’s attractions. Daily housekeeping service is provided. Parking, beach towels, and purified drinking water are provided.

KINDLY NOTE: South winds may bring Sargasso Seaweed to some beaches throughout the Caribbean, including the Rivera Maya. While the situation is hard to predict for each specific week and area, we would like you to be aware as there is the potential to impact the beach and water entry.

The Riviera Maya is full of natural beauty, places to explore and opportunities for outdoor activities. We have a great list of activities and adventures completely unaffected by the arrival of sargasso that we would love to share with you. There is so much to see and do in this special place, we know that you will have an amazing and memorable vacation!

Beautiful home!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family, along with two other families, stayed at Ah Villa for six nights and it was absolutely incredible. The home is stunning, spacious, and spotless. Chino and Anita do an exceptional job maintaining the property and ensuring everything is in perfect shape.The only downside was the heavy sargassum on the beach, which made it difficult to enjoy the ocean as we had hoped. But of course, that’s just Mother Nature! Thankfully, the beautiful pool and hot tub more than made up for it as we spent countless hours relaxing and playing there.There’s also so much to do in the area. I highly recommend renting a car and getting out to explore! During our stay, we took the ferry to Cozumel for a beach day, had dinner in Playa del Carmen, visited the Tulum ruins, spent a full day at Xel-Ha, and even did a zip-line, ATV, and cenote adventure with Selva Eco Adventures. One of the highlights was having Anita cook dinner for us on two nights and her meals were absolutely delicious.This was a vacation we’ll be talking about for years to come!

Absolutely beautiful home

This home is stunning. Chino & Anita were an absolute dream team and we will miss them both. The home is very open and the pool is AMAZING! Only one thing worth mentioning….2 of the rooms are not part of the main house so if you are traveling with kids keep this in mind. Hope to stay here again very soon because we love Akumal as the best vacation spot in Mexico.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful time for our family of 8 adults and 2 young children. This was our 2nd time staying at Ah Villa for Thanksgiving. Chino, Anita and Scott took great care of us from start to finish. We pre-ordered some groceries which were their upon arrival. We arranged multiple breakfasts and dinners with Anita and Chino that we fresh, delicious and a good value. Most of the week was spent relaxing by the pool and beach. We did one outing to swim with the turtles which was $7 to get in + $25 for a private tour. Our stay was Sunday to Saturday which was just the right amount of time. We all left relaxed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group of 10 adults, 1 child, and 2 infants had an amazing stay at Ah Villa. The house was gorgeous, full-stocked with everything we needed, and the concierge was so helpful in answering all of our questions. We also loved the meal cooked by Anita and Chino, and loved talking to them. Daily cleaning (included) was also so helpful for our large group. I have already recommended this property to several people and say I will join on any group stay :)

Perfect house and perfect location

The house is better than the pictures. The pool and hot tub were perfect. You’re on the beach. They even had caretakers there who did the cleaning and some cooking for us. Couldn’t say enough about how helpful and nice they were. The master bedroom set up was terrific. Comfortable beds, huge house. Definitely want to go back with an even bigger group as you would have plenty of space and wouldn’t have to worry about running into people. Very close to Playa Del Carmen and Tulum both. And the golf course is virtually across the street. Definitely give this place a look if you’re interested .

Amazing house

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was amazing inside and out. The staff Scott, Chino, Anita cleaning crew were very helpful and did a great job. The weather was awful but no one can predict that. If I had one minor complaint it would be the marble tile outside around the pool. When the marble gets wet it's very slick and we had multiple people fall luckily no one was seriously hurt but you may consider putting more rugs around that area because it's quite dangerous and we were very cautious. Other than that it's an amazing property it's exactly what we wanted minus the tropical storm.

A wonderful relaxing place in paradise.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is beautiful beachside home is comfortable, quiet and peaceful. There is plenty of room and the outdoors covered seating area surrounded on three sides by the pool is a great place to sit and relax. The hospitality team is top notch. From our initial reservation to communication in making pre-arrival requests was very easy and organized. The rooms are comfortable and what really made our stay special was the pride and care that the housekeepers took in keeping the house and pool area clean and tidy. We requested several cooked meals and they were all gourmet quality at a very reasonable price. The property is maintained in very good condition and having the heated hot tub was an added bonus. This part of the shoreline is know for it's reef, so the beach was rocky but still very beautiful. We were able to take the stand-up paddle board and one of the kayaks out for some fun in the bay. We hope to return again next year to this little piece of paradise.

Ah, Paradise found

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are three fifty-something couples from Northwest Illinois. This villa was Ah-mazing. We had plenty of room, comfortable beds, fantastic pool and hot tub, great beach all to ourselves, turtles nesting right on the beach(we left them completely alone!) - not to mention, the best staff in the world. Anita and Chino work so hard to make sure everything is perfect! They cooked us two fantastic meals during our stay, and took care of everything promptly. I had fun practicing my Spanish with them, they are friendly and work very hard. During our stay we took advantage of the huge living room and watched a movie one night during a heavy downpour. We did a lot of our own cooking in the well appointed kitchen. Most of our time was spent enjoying the huge pool and hot tub, as well as combing the beach for shells and other treasures.We highly recommend this place if you want to escape the crowds, have proximity to the beach, and be close to everything yet have peace and quiet.

Fantastic Family Vacation

We booked Ah, Villa for a Family Vacation and had the time of our lives. There was 8 of us including our adult children and significant others, and our mother. The accommodations worked exceptionally well for the entire family with more than enough room for all of us to be together, and yet everyone had their own spaces to retreat to. Everything about Ah, Villa was as good as advertised, if not better. The pool, hot tub and outdoor veranda were exceptional and in constant use. The beach area and oceanfront was beyond our expectations as the sand was perfect and the water was crystal clear. We fully enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board and snorkeled out at the reef right in front of the villa several times. We were even fortunate enough to witness a nest of turtles hatch right on the beach in front of us one evening and make their way down to the ocean - it was an event none of us will ever forget. Anita and Chino went absolutely above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We had them prepare most meals for us, which were all fantastic. We truly enjoyed getting to know them as they are so warm and friendly. They even made a special “Birthday Celebration” on my wife’s birthday - we hated to say goodbye when it was time to leave. David, the manager was very attentive and arranged airport transfers and transportation to everywhere we wanted to go (Tulum Ruins, Xel-Ha, golf, and Playa del Carmen are all very close). We highly recommend Ah, Villa.

Exquisite!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The architecture, design, layout and space of this incredible Villa just blew us away and it was love at first sight! This property is a perfect vacation getaway for a small intimate experience to a large group of up to 14+ and well-equipped to handle a large group. Each bedroom with its own private bathroom was an added luxury. The place was immaculate and perfectly maintained. Cleanliness and hygiene are important to us and this place didn’t disappoint. Anita and Chino, the caretakers, are warm, gracious and hospitable, and the delicious and memorable meals they prepared for us with painstaking detail will forever be imprinted in our hearts. They also take care and maintain this exquisite property with such love and care. We will never forget the peaceful mornings sipping coffee and beautiful evenings on the backyard pool and patio sipping cocktails overlooking the ocean. The ability to walk down a very short private pathway from the backyard to a beautiful beach was a pleasure to indulge in anytime we chose. We took the opportunity to use the kayaks and surfboards at the property, and enjoyed the ocean. We also enjoyed leisurely afternoons reading and snoozing in a hammock by the beach. Overall, we would unreservedly recommend more than one stay at this gorgeous villa.

Best Family holiday ever! And we’ve holidayed around the world!

Fabulous home, stunning location, excellent on site staff (Chino and Anita), our superior concierge (David), and our caring and present property manager (Scott). My entire family was agog with pleasure the minute we got out of our airport transfer at Ah Villa. Bags were dropped as we made our way inside the grand front doors, to the sweeping staircases. No time to look at rooms as we were discovering the pool area, path to the clean white sand beach and the crystal waters beyond. Ah Villa has it all! Kitchen is huge and well equipped. Bedrooms are spacious, comfy beds, and bathrooms in every room. Most of our time was around the pool, beside it or in it (and the massive hot tub.) And of course on the beach at the waters edge. Seaweed raked away every day leaving us pristine beaches to enjoy. Swimming and snorkeling are my favourites and needless to say I was in heaven. We also arranged for groceries to be delivered for arrival. And had chef prepare a local dinner for our first night. Delish and very much appreciated. After that we did a little of our own cooking since my boys are foodies and then frequented both upper and lower Akmal town for most of our other meals. Ah Villa is perfectly located around 20 minutes to Tulum and just a tiny bit further to Playa Del Carmen. The family has asked if we can come back to Ah Villa next year (or sooner). Our highest recommendations to this fabulous home and superior staff. And heartfelt thanks for best family vacation!

Wonderful House, Staff & Property Manager Even Better!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for our family. There are three large bedrooms upstairs in the main house, and two ‘side’ bedrooms on either side of the house with separate entrances (one with a queen bed and the other with two double beds). It is as the photos depict. We visited in mid August 2024.The air conditioning was functional and refreshing, the shared living space was comfortable, the pool and hot tub were well maintained, and the outdoor seating area was perfect for shade and views. The backyard beach is rocky at the shoreline (take water socks!) but the privacy (somewhat shared with neighbors) more than makes up for this minor inconvenience. The seaweed was easily manageable and the cleaning crews for the sargassum were excellent and thorough. The cherry on top were Anita and Chino. They attended to the house and its cleanliness as if it were their very own. Anita welcomed us into the home, cared for daily issues, and ensured that beach towels were refreshed, towels were restocked, and the pillows were perfect. It was like waking up to a new home every morning. Chino was likewise incredibly pleasant and hardworking keeping the pool full, the property maintained, and in a late evening instance of a kitchen mishap that we created - available to assist, with a smile. Lastly, the property manager Scott was professional, always available via phone (WhatsApp, phone), and ensured that we had the absolute best stay. He likewise greeted us in person and he addressed our concerns promptly and circled back to make sure the issues were resolved. It should also be mentioned that the pre-arrival communication was top notch - accurate directions / guidance, recommendations for car rental, grocery delivery, timing, etc.We would certainly return to Akumal simply to stay in the home again given our experience.

Amazing!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ah Villa is a gorgeous spacious house kept in great condition. Separate entrances to two of the rooms offered welcome privacy to some of our group while still being all together. Kitchen was well equipped and bottled water constantly replenished. The dining/living room were nice to hang out inside out of the heat. The back pool deck though ended up being a favorite place to hang out and eat with a nearly constant cool breeze coming off the ocean. The pool and jacuzzi were spacious and kept clean. The beach area is great with lots of shade to relax in. We were lucky to see many sea turtles lay eggs in the evenings and even got to see some hatching which was a highlight of our trip for many of us. Like anywhere on the ocean these days, the seaweed is unpredictable but they had crews collecting it the best they could keep up with and it was minimal during our stay. There is a natural reef ridge a few hundred feet off the coast which keeps the water calm near shore. Within that area small areas of coral can be found with some great snorkeling opportunities to see lots of variety of fish, coral, and rays. The concierge service, David in particular, was very helpful and attentive for arranging shuttle and car rentals. The property manager, Scott, was very friendly and checked in on us often and was very helpful. The caretakers, Anita and Chino, were awesome and kept the place in amazing condition and were attentive to any requests. We had Anita cook one dinner for us and it was spectacular and she accommodated food allergies carefully. The gated community with 24/7 security and the property also having a gated front entrance felt very safe. Location is great with many great places to visit and eat just down the road or within a 15 minute drive. We have stayed in several places along the Riviera Maya and this was by far our favorite.

DANGER Will Robinson!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Recently we rented Ah Villa in Akumal Sur for a family vacation. There were 7 adults and my son (5 yrs). Although the Ah Villa is very nice and spacious it has some major shortcomings.DANGER. The patio on the center of the pool is comprised on some beautiful marble like tiles. HOWEVER, when wet (which is most of the time since this is where you step out of the pool) they became extremely slippery ( just like ice). 3 of us took pretty good spells, I personally ended with a bloody elbow and had to have attended by a DR. 15 days after and I am still in pain. My son and my wife also took spells. This area is extremely dangerous and something should be done about this before someone gets seriously hurt.To be honest with you for almost U$S 9,000 for one week we expected hot water to come out of the shower. After a long trip and the first thing we wanted was a hot shower. Not until we spoke with the caretakers got hot water (took about 4+ hours).Lots of great smart flat screens the around the house + a great stereo. However none of them worked properly since the internet did not work for the first 3 days until they got a tech to come out. Even after that the connections was not great. Forget about doing any online work here. No instructions to operate jacuzzi, it was cold when we first arrived. Caretaker help us out and from the second day on there were no issues.There is washer and dryer but they are locked away. If you want laundry done you can have Anita (caretaker) do it for you for U$S 8.00 per load or go across town and have it done for U$S 3.00.Would not stay there again.
