Beachfront Villa in Tulum

Set directly on the white sand of the Tulum Hotel Zone, this six-suite beachfront villa was designed by architect Alberto Schutte and runs entirely on solar and wind power, with a silent backup generator in reserve. Pared-back interiors open onto a pool, a garden and a palapa dining room. Across the road, the villa’s own two-storey deck looks over a cenote in the mangroves, shared with two other homes, though the deck itself is reserved for the villa’s guests.

Twelve guests are accommodated across six suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom and rainforest shower. Four suites on the upper floor face the ocean. The master, with a freestanding bathtub, and a second king suite each have a private balcony, a walk-in closet and a bathtub, while the other two upper suites each hold two queen beds. On the ground floor, two garden suites open straight onto the pool terrace, one with a king bed and one with two queens, and look onto the garden rather than the sea.

A private chef prepares every meal, with groceries, snacks and soft drinks included and alcohol not. A villa manager, a waiter, a concierge and daily housekeeping run the house around its guests.

The nearest restaurants are about 4.5 km (2.8 miles) away, and Tulum town is 15 km (9.3 miles) from the villa. Strict community quiet hours apply after 10:00 PM, loud music is not permitted, and penalties may apply. Sargassum seaweed may reach the beach during the warmer months.

I left out the property name to match the house style. Let me know if you’d like it shorter or want the quiet-hours and sargassum notes moved out of the description.
