More than just a vacation rental, Casa Ligera is an award-winning architectural marvel, celebrated for its exquisite design by a renowned architect. From the moment you drive into this exclusive compound, you'll be enveloped in a world of "Tulum-inspired" natural elegance, feeling as though you've stepped into the pages of a Mexican Architectural Digest. Exceptional Location & Local Wonders: Casa Ligera's prime location in Akumal Beach places you in the very best spot in the Riviera Maya, perfectly situated between the vibrant towns of Playa del Carmen (25 minutes) and Tulum (25 minutes). A mere 7-10 minute walk from Casa Ligera will lead you to the #1 snorkeling spot in the Riviera Maya, renowned as home to the largest population of sea turtles in the area. While the rocky point directly behind the house offers spectacular "Lighthouse" views of the ocean in all directions, please note there is no swimming directly behind the house. However, a leisurely 10-minute walk in either direction from the house will bring you to the pristine Akumal Lagoon, ideal for swimming and snorkeling, or the stunning Yal Ku Lagoon, considered one of Mexico's best CENOTES for swimming and snorkeling. Unrivaled Ocean Views & Luxurious Amenities: Prepare to be mesmerized by breathtaking ocean views from every bedroom and every corner of this magnificent property. The main house boasts 4 luxurious bedrooms and 4.5 baths, while the newly remodeled (2023) guest house offers 2 additional bedrooms and 2 baths, just steps from the main house, providing your group with ample space and ultimate privacy. Indulge in the ultimate relaxation with an infinity pool that seamlessly blends with the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Book a massage or our private CHEF, ascend to the rooftop deck for invigorating sun tanning sessions during the day, and at night, witness the magic of the Riviera Maya's starlit nights, or book a fishing expedition – a truly unforgettable experience. The Guest House: Your Private Oasis: The charming guest house is a haven of comfort, featuring a living room with a Smart TV, a pull-out sofa bed, and a full kitchen. One bedroom and a full bath are located downstairs, with another bedroom and full bath upstairs, complete with its own private rooftop seating area. You'll have the entire estate, including both houses, completely to yourselves. Unforgettable Experiences & Dedicated Service: Your stay at Casa Ligera includes the dedicated services of our professional caretaker and housekeeper, who are available for anything you may need. They provide daily light cleaning, working every day except Sundays, ensuring a pristine and comfortable environment throughout your stay. Akumal offers a delightful array of restaurants within a 5-10 minute walking distance. For an elevated culinary experience, we can arrange for our private chef, one of the most famous in the entire region, who has prepared meals for countless celebrities, to cater to your every desire (for a fee). While reasonably priced taxis are readily available, we also offer a private car service providing discounted transportation to and from the airport and local attractions.
