5 bedrooms / 5 bath
Luxury Akumal Villa with great views of the Caribbean Sea - sleeps up to 14 people

Zen del Mar is a stunning Mexican modern masterpiece in design and furnishings. This luxury Villa is situated on a secluded private beach in Jade Bay yet within walking distance from Jade beach into the town of Akumal. This amazing villa offers the luxury furnishings and services for a special holiday on the Mexican Caribbean. The owners of Zen del Mar have designed this Villa after years of providing luxury rentals at the adjacent villa; Casa del Sol Naciente. This spacious 4,800 square foot home with five bedroom suites and en-suite bathrooms can comfortably accommodate up to 14 people.

From the moment you see the color of Zen del Mar's claret red painted exterior, historically used by the Mayans to promote good energy, you will begin to relax. The hand-made terra cotta tiled floors and the heavy wooden double doors greet you with a feeling of being on vacation in Mexico. The floor plan of Zen del Mar is a designed synergy of indoor and outdoor spaces that maximize the ability to be outdoors and indoors all at the same time. The first floor doors disappear into the hidden wall reveals to create wide open spaces to the 60 foot long pool, the lounging patio, the sand patio and ten hardwood Lounge chairs.

 The Villa design was influenced by the work of the famed Mexico City Architect, Ricardo Legorreta. The design marries elements of modern Mexican architecture with local Mayan craftsmanship. The designers, who have traveled extensively, have used pieces from global destinations and the world of fashion to create a different type of beach house.
