About this property

Casa Whitley...An Elegant Mexican Villa

Amid the warm Mexican Caribbean climate, spectacular natural beauty and stunning Mayan culture, Casa Whitley inspires relaxation, tranquility and a true retreat from everyday life. Located on the Riviera Maya, in the exclusive gated resort community of Playacar (40 minutes south of the Cancun airport), Casa Whitley is an exquisite hideaway for only the most discriminating guests. The sun-drenched ambiance is reflected through the simple yet elegant architecture of the Spanish Colonial design by architect Angel Eslea. Interiors were designed by the owner, renowned Connecticut interior decorator, Carol Whitley.
Double height ceilings, rough-sewn wood beams, skylights and custom Talavera tiles add to the home's unique style. A Mayan waterfall spills into the sparkling swimming pools reflecting a lush landscape of tropical plants and palms. A fully equipped gourmet kitchen awaits the amateur chef. The large living room has a 18-foot wrap around sofa, 2 large rattan arm chairs and antique coffee table. The center piece of the dining room is a massive 9-foot mahogany table and rattan arm chairs to encourage hours of dining pleasure. All the main rooms spill out onto the terra cotta tiled terrace and the pool beyond. The Casa is perfectly situated on the 4th hole of the beautiful and challenging Robert Von Hagge Golf Course. The Spa at Playacar Golf Club, within easy walking distance, offers luxurious and relaxing treatments.
Three bedrooms and a master suite sleep a total of 10 guests. Three and a half bathrooms, some with double sinks, a sky-lit tub and showers, are each enhanced with hand-made blue and white tiles. Each upstairs bedroom has its own terrace. The Casa is fully air conditioned with individual room controls.
Our concierge will check on you daily. He can arrange transportation, private chef service, reservations for a spa, restaurant, golf and sightseeing. Every detail to make your vacation truly memorable.
Only a short walk away (less than a mile) is the beach, ferry boat to Cozumel and Playa's famed 'La Quinta' (5th Ave). The pedestrian street is lined with many shops and international cafes. La Quinta comes alive at night with strolling musicians and lively international conversations. But the best of Playa is the miles of silky white beaches kissed by the sparkling turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean.
The friendly atmosphere of Casa Whitley, its romantic nights, myriad of daytime activities and its location in the heart of the Mexican Riviera Maya, make it the perfect place to spend your vacation.

I stayed here with five friends for a long weekend. The photos do not do this property justice. The most amazing part of this property are Carol, Roger, Julianana and the amazing folks who prepared food for us and just in general took care of us. I can’t express my gratitude sufficiently! It was the most beautiful, relaxing, fun, delicious stay! I definitely recommend you coordinate in-home meals when you stay as it was the best food we had in Playa del Carmen. My friends and I wondered how this property was even available. Thank you again!

We loved our stay at Casa Whitley!
Casa Whitley was a great fit for our family vacation to Playa Del Carmen. The location is excellent, a short walk to the beach and to downtown for dining and shopping. The house was clean and comfortable, plenty of bathrooms and space for the 8 of us. The pool was fantastic and the concierge services provided were outstanding. We would definitely stay again!

Carol, Roger and the casa Whitley team made our weekend at their property one for the books. From check-in to the end of the trip, every last detail was taken care of. The backyard was even better than expected - absolutely stunning. We took advantage of the breakfast every morning + dinner which I’d highly recommend. Both the chef and cleaners were awesome. 5/5 would stay again

Perfect House with Wonderful Staff!
My friends and I recently stayed at Casa Whitely for 5 days for a bachelorette party. The house slept 10 very comfortably. All rooms and bathrooms were very clean and spacious, easily accommodating everyone. The pool and backyard are absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. The pictures don’t do it justice! We spent a lot of time lounging outside because we never wanted to leave. Roger and Ivan were very attentive and made our stay even more special because we could truly relax and not have to worry about running out to the grocery store. The chef and kitchen assistant made us DELICIOUS food. We had 1 lunch and 2 dinners and had lots of leftovers for us to eat the next day. It was such a treat because we could spend even more time enjoying the sunshine and no one had to break away from the group to run errands. Everything was reasonably priced and the convenience was so worth it. There was some construction happening next door and it was a bit loud in the morning, but Carol generously gave an $100 credit for chef services as a courtesy. Carol was super responsive and the entire booking process was painless. The community is very safe and walkable. I would definitely recommend staying here for any group wanting to relax and enjoy Mexico!
