Hacienda Magica

28 guests • 14 bedrooms • 14 bathrooms – Step inside

It’s called Hacienda because saying villa just wouldn’t do it justice. With a traditional colonial style and state-of-the-art amenities, this beachfront property takes merging class and comfort to a different level. 

Sumptuous living spaces and courtyards big enough to host private events make it ideal for large groups. Also, the suites are simply stunning, so getting some rest after get-togethers won't be a problem. As for amenities, it’s hard to find something it doesn’t have. A private tennis court, a beach-side swimming pool, an ocean-view gym, a ping pong table, kayaks, and even a karaoke machine are ready for you to use. Hacienda Mágica truly is what every beachfront home aspires to be.

Hacienda Del Mar

30 Guests • 15 Bedrooms • 15 Bathrooms – Step inside

This style-fusing abode kept the arches and the flair of an old hacienda but combined it with top-class modern design. Every corner of its 16,000 sq ft is equally impressive, from the courtyard adorned with classic Mexican motives to the perfectly manicured gardens and the pool that leads to a private beach.  

There are also more amenities than you can think of. Ping pong tables, paddleboards, a superb sun lounge... You name it. Also, each of the 30 rooms –divided between the main villa and the two casitas– is a treat. So if you’re thinking about bringing everyone on an epic trip (maybe you have a special occasion you want to celebrate by the sea?) Hacienda del Mar is just the place to go.

Hacienda Corazón

20 Guests • 10 Bedrooms • 10 Bathrooms – Step inside

To understand the name of this striking beachfront residence, one has to look from above. Just beyond the gates, a massive heart-shaped garden adorned with palm trees welcomes guests to a villa that is hard to believe. 

The arches –sign par excellence of hacienda architecture– give way to a modern home equipped with a swimming pool, a beautiful outdoor dining table, and a wonderfully designed industrial kitchen reminiscent of antique convent refectories. A classic Mexican style unifies the rest of the house, including the richly furnished bedrooms and expansive living spaces.

Zacil Na

10 Guests • 5 Bedrooms • 5 Bathrooms – Step inside

If you’re after a villa that is stylish, eco-conscious, and sublimely located, Zacil Na is the place for you. The outstanding architecture of this beachfront home will make you feel close to the landscape with an exceedingly comfortable sun lounge, bedrooms with ocean views, and even private outdoor showers. Also, butler and personal chef services are included in your stay, so you will have to worry about nothing.

Solar panels were recently installed to reduce environmental impact, making the residence self-sufficient. Meanwhile, the spacious balconies and the tranquil sea just a couple of steps from your back door will help you reconnect with your tropical surroundings.

Casa del Agua

8 Guests • 4 Bedrooms • 4 Bathrooms – Step inside

Under a spectacular palapa roof, you’ll find a residence full of extraordinary details. This 8-bedroom beachfront residence is a love letter to interior design. Regional materials and the finest finishes combine to create a tropical atmosphere that invites nature in. So much so that the bathrooms are also small rainforest gardens. 

Casa del Agua is located in a secluded area of Puerto Aventuras, and the outdoors are vast. The swimming pool gives way to a seizable private beach equipped with loungers and guarded by coco palms. Then there’s the hammock palapa and the alfresco dining area that, stunning as the interior of the villa is, might persuade you to spend most of your time outside.

Casa Cenote

12 guests • 5 bedrooms • 4 bathrooms – Step inside

Casa Cenote is all about the details. Built around a beautiful natural sinkhole, this home is the perfect transition from exquisite interior design to peaceful outdoor living. The lap pool, grill, and fire pit make it easy to spend entire days outdoors. So does the private access to the golf course. Oh, and the walking distance to the marina, too. 

The residence has five bedrooms, all decorated with such taste that you’ll feel instantly at home. From the master suite with a garden view to the cozy downstairs rooms, each of them feels like a small refuge. Meanwhile, the gorgeous living spaces make this villa ideal to lose track of time and create memories together.
