Zen del Mar, a stunning masterpiece of a luxury villa, is situated on a gorgeous private beach in Jade Bay. This amazing villa offers every luxury one could ever wish for a special vacation on the Mexican Caribbean.

Villa Zen del Mar – “Calm from the Sea” – is a spacious five-bedroom, five and ½ bathroom, beach-front vacation home that sleeps 10 to 14 people.   Zen del Mar is designed to give breathtaking views of the Sea from all rooms and yet maintain an air of privacy and soulful spaces when comfortably accommodating its guests.  The Villa has five King sized bed suites each with attached bathroom.  The Villa was designed by its owners in the spirit of “Homes of the Yucatan” with a strong influence of the famed Mexican Architect Ricardo Legorreta.  Zen del Mar was built by a local team of Mayan artisan builders.  The design marries the strong elements of modern Mexican architecture with local Mayan craftsmanship and indigenous Yucatan materials.

Located on gorgeous Jade Bay south of enchanting Akumal you are well placed between Playa del Carmen and Tulum.  (see Riviera Maya map)  (see Jade Bay map)

As one of the newly developed beaches along this gorgeous Riviera Maya coast, Jade Bay is still a relatively well kept secret.  Those who have found it and planted some roots, have done so with a thoughtfulness for the environment that is to be appreciated.  This beautiful bay still has gin clear waters, incredible corals and colorful tropical fish life just waiting to be snorkeled among.  During the summer months, endangered sea turtles still return after countless years of tradition, to lay their eggs on the beaches of Jade Bay. If you are lucky, you will be blessed in witnessing the exquisite natural wonder of droves of baby turtles erupting from their nest in the sand and making their way back to the ocean where they came. It truly an experience of a lifetime that will leave a lasting memory with you.  (see turtle tracks & nest/mounds in front of Zen Del Mar.)

While private and quiet, Jade Bay is only a short stroll along the beach to the heart of Akumal, with shops and restaurants, diving facilities, and much more. If you are the adventuresome type, discover the mysteries of the Ancient Mayan civilizations, go shopping along 5th Avenue of Playa del Carmen, take a deep sea fishing excursion, treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage…the choices are yours to make.  For more information on the many wonderful area attractions including restaurants and Mayan Ruins, please visit the 'Area Attractions South' section of our web site.
