About this property

We are following all COVID-19 cleaning regulations, and would love to have you back and stay with us again. We dropped our pricing for the end of the year - join us for a well deserved vacation. We all need it after this crazy year!!

WELCOME TO VILLA AMISTAD. Inspired and inviting, Villa Amistad embodies comfort, style and total relaxation in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Leave your worries behind and enjoy a sun-kissed holiday where overlooking the endless Mexican Caribbean is a way of life.

This contemporary Mexican retreat nestled in the bustling town of Isla Mujeres, Mexico is framed against the majestic turquoise Caribbean ocean on one side, and only steps away from the island's shopping, dining and exploring on the other. Turquoise water. Endless Ocean Breezes. Warm, soft sand. Picturesque sunrises. Villa Amistad provides a spectacular setting for your next island escape.

Villa Amistad was professionally designed and built by architect Ivonne Gamio. The Villa was inspired by the designs of Barragon and Legoretta to provide comfort, luxury, privacy and lifelong memories. Situated on the Caribbean side of Isla Mujeres, guests will enjoy the rolling waves of the sea and the steady flow of ocean air. The villa was designed with graded, step-down floors, providing the feeling of walking out into the ocean.

A full time staff provides daily maid service (except Sundays), as well as pool, gardening and security services. Guests are greeted upon arrival by an English-speaking host to provide an introduction to the facilities and answer questions concerning your stay.

Although Villa Amistad has everything you would want in a vacation home, you may want to enjoy other things that the island of Isla Mujeres has to offer. You can swim with dolphins, go sailing, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, or snorkeling. For an off-island excursion you can explore Mayan ruins, swim in cenotes and enjoy shopping in Cancun.

Whether you choose to explore the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres, or enjoy the comforts of the villa, everything you could ever want in a vacation home is provided at Villa Amistad.

Premier Accommodatiions!

Villa Amistad was amazing and even better than advertised although the marketing for the place is excellent. Everything in the place was premier from the beds to the pool. You can’t find a better view than from the pool at Villa Amistad. Host and owner were incredible to deal with and we will be staying here the next time we come to Isla. Loved everything about our experience!

Isla 2024

Gordon's house was fantastic! His property manager Stacy was very helpful and was immediate in her communications. The house was very clean and well stocked. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the location was within .5 mi of North Beach. The views of the ocean were amazing from the many different vantage points that the house offers. We would highly recommend this property for your next visit to the island!

Beautiful Getaway Ocean View

Absolutely loved our stay at this stunning property in Isla de Mujeres! The balcony overlooking the ocean was breathtaking, perfect for morning coffees and sunset gazing. The cleanliness of the place was impeccable, which made us feel right at home. Loved how the owner was very thoughtful with having beach toys for the kids, waters, beach towels, and even beer on the property. It was a hassle free stay. Can't wait to come back!

Beautiful Home with shared backyard and pool area

Lovely stay at this home. Comfortable beds and so nice that each room has a designated bathroom. The rooftop was a nice perk that I wasn't totally aware of before arriving. A few things that you should know before booking - This is one side of a townhome. You share the pool with the other renters next door. Also, this home is tricky to find and sits on a very busy street. Once inside, you will want to spend all your time in the living area that opens to the pool and ocean view. I recommend hiring someone to get groceries for you so that you have food when you arrive. We had that option and unfortunately, didn't use it.

Beautiful house in great location!

This is a beautiful house with great amenities in a great location. The host and manager were so hopeful communicating ahead of time for travel suggestions (airport transportation, ferry tickets, and golf cart rental) and during our stay when we had a few questions. I would highly suggest this house and we would absolutely rent it again if we return. Thanks again!

Amazing!

This is an amazing place to stay! Very short walk on the board walk into town with an ocean view the whole way! The place was clean, and had everything we needed and more! Definitely would stay here again! The only “downside” was there is a lot of construction going on with the buildings surrounding the house so it was noisy during the day, but there’s a lot of construction in Mexico!

Great location, views, and crashing wave

Great experience. Centrally located on safe, quiet street. Wonderful sunrises right from the bed in the master. Appreciated the 15 gallons of bottled water provided. The owner popped by to check on us and his team of Stacy, her assistant Omar and housekeeper Katia were awesome and available to help with any questions or concerns. Would for sure rent again, and if possible/needed would rent both sides of this property. One strike against: the main floor bath is really a half bath that has a shower wedged in under the stairs with no curtain, so our adult children staying in the main floor room used one of the two upstairs showers. Not a big deal for us, but you effectively have two showers rather than three (unless you're under 5 foot.).

Two Thumbs Up for Villa Amistad

Loved our weeklong stay at Villa Amistad. Convenient to the ferry, the beautiful Playa Norte beach, lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Amazing seaside views everyday right out our window. The master bedroom was lovely and the two-person shower was awesome. The fully stocked kitchen was also a bonus. Our family enjoyed the pool area and the boardwalk made it super convenient to get to/from the beach and to our favorite local hangout-The Tiny Gecko. Gordon and Stacy were super attentive. Highly recommend this spot.

About the host

Hosted by Gordon Ladwig

Hola! A little about us... We are originally from Wisconsin and moved to Florida about 10 years ago and are working in construction and property management here.

Why they chose this property

We first discovered our little island in 1976! We were "spring breakers"- not the drinking, partying kind- we were the exploring kind of spring breakers. We traveled all around the Yucatan Peninsula. Almost at the end of our trip we stumbled on Isla Mujeres. We fell in love with the little island and have been going back as much as possible since then. The gorgeous blue/green waters and the kind, caring islanders drew us back time after time!

We were walking down Ave. Juarez and saw a "for sale" sign on the Villa Amistad- Well, it did not take us long to decide to put in an offer and a few months later became the official owners.

And...Now we can call it home and we are so delighted and excited! We are so happy to own such a Gem of a property and to be able to share it with others. It really is our little piece of Paradise!

What makes this property unique

Villa Amistad, or the Friendship House in Spanish, is located right on the Caribbean with an infinity pool and direct access to the Malecon. It is also walking distance to North Beach and Hidalgo St where all the action is. You can walk everywhere and not be dependent on golf carts or taxis!
