Steps away from a private beach, where Caguama giant sea turtles lay their eggs in the summertime, this magical estate sits on the resort-dotted Riviera Maya coastline – offering you easy access to the Caribbean Sea. Tucked between palm trees, this home is set within fifty acres of the jungle. As the vision of a brilliant Mexican architect, you'll see local art pieces and mahogany woodwork inside. Relaxation is paramount here, so there are seven terraces, six seating areas, and two traditional palapas for you to choose from. Wake up after a restful night's sleep and freshen up in your en-suite bathroom. Then, birdwatch in your gorgeous garden, while the private chef prepares a delicious breakfast of huevos rancheros. Indulge in a lazy morning by the heated pool, before stepping out on the white sands of Playa Xpu-Ha. Why not explore Quintana Roo further? You can swim at Kantun Chi eco-park, then rock-climb at Chikin Ha. While this area is known for its gourmet food and calm atmosphere, wilder Cancún waits in the north. In the evening, come back and have a barbecue. Play son mexicano over the outdoor speakers and enjoy waiter service until 10 pm. Be sure to make use of your bar room and toast a happy holiday with the nation's favourite – tequila sours.
