About this property

Luxurious Private Caribbean Oceanfront, Breathtaking Ocean Views.


Note: Sargassum is a seasonal seaweed that can affect the beaches along the entire Riviera Maya coastline especially between April and October. Its impact is unpredictable and can vary from week to week.
Please note too: Villa Caracol was built by an American developer and it is compliant with local building standards BUT, this is Mexico. Construction specs will differ from your countries'. There is water everywhere. Children must be supervised at all times.

Villa Caracol is a luxurious, oceanfront home on the Riviera Maya, the Caribbean coastline of Mexico. Walk into a bright, airy, open plan kitchen, living and dining room with views overlooking the ocean. Elegantly finished in marble, mosaic, granite surfaces and hardwoods, Villa Caracol offers you a unique holiday experience, exotic and romantic whilst retaining modern amenities and comfort.

Each of the four grand bedrooms has a sea-view balcony and marble clad ensuite bathroom. You have your own pool and the shared use of a second pool, your own elevated beach and a private roof terrace with Jacuzzi.

Villa Caracol offers tranquillity away from the usual busy all inclusive holiday centres but close to the cosmopolitan, vibrant hubs of Cancun and Playa del Carmen and to the unspoiled fishing village of Puerto Morelos. The villa is located on a cul-de-sac beach road with little traffic and few others on the beach.

A welcoming array of basic food provisions will await you. Leo lives nearby and will greet you upon arrival and ensure that your stay is comfortable and problem free. Maid service is provided mid-week for week long stays.

Villa Caracol is a fully furnished vacation home rental. It is ideal for a group of singles and couples and large or multiple families. This home is ideal for those wanting a quiet, self-service style vacation with a few trips to town for shopping and eating out at restaurants. You provide and cook your own food during your stay but you may also like to hire caterers to buy, cook and serve your food for some or all of your stay.

Holidays here are easy. English is widely spoken. People are very warm and friendly. The systems are generally efficient and easy to negotiate though the pace is laid back and relaxed too.

We have upgraded internet access with 50 to 80 mbs up and download speeds and a second back-up provider. Remote working is easy here and Kate (owner) does so regularly. We have upgraded the mattresses and all four king-size beds have cool memory-foam toppers for a softer sleep. These an be removed for those who prefer a firmer bed.

About the host

Hosted by Norbert and Kate

Host profile image
We are Kate and Norbert, a British/Canadian couple who, with our two kids, have owned Villa Caracol for about six years having fallen in love with the Riviera Maya. Villa Caracol is perfect for us and we hope it is for you too. It is away from the high tempo of typical tourist resorts but within easy access of all amenities. It offers the perfect base for exploration of Mexican and Yucatán culture, the glorious natural features of mangroves, cenotes and beach, and the relaxation of a beach holiday.
