Villa Palapa Mayan Riviera.  Have you heard of the wonderful Tulum area of the Mayan Riviera? It features ancient ruins from the Mayan civilization and is surrounded by some of the most stunning scenery imaginable. In the midst of this is the Villa Casa Palapa. Described as an "eco chic" property, it offers up five spacious bedrooms and a surprising array of world-class amenities that sit right along the gorgeous sands.

Most visitors immediately fall in love with the pool terrace as it blends seamlessly with the waters below. It features a sun deck with oversized banquette sofa and hammock and then the pool begins. It wraps the wooden deck and makes for a truly stunning sight from any angle. The deck is covered and features an array of lounging spaces with oversized furnishings to ensure optimal comfort. There is also a spot for low-key dining beneath the palapa.

The use of natural materials is carried over inside where a formal dining room, living room and modern, gourmet kitchen are yours to enjoy. All five bedrooms have also been designed to provide this sense of the lines between interior and exterior being blurred. They have also been crafted to provide you with a sense of organic earthiness and total relaxation.

There are two bedrooms on the first floor. Both are king suites that open to the terrace and feature large, private baths. The ground floor is home to three more suites. They include a king suite with ocean views, a dual single suite and a double suite - all with private baths.

Richly and beautifully designed and decorated, the Villa Casa Palapa puts you along the beach but also gives you a wonderfully private and natural world to enjoy right at the villa. It is the perfect choice for a family or getaway with friends.
