Description from owner

Description

This is a beautiful hand-crafted, all-hardwood house on the beach, situated on a 100-acre preserve on the Riviera Maya, just south of Cancun. It accommodates up to 4 couples or a few families in four luxurious master suites, each with unobstructed ocean and forest views on either side.

Casa Vela features a romantic three-story palapa where guests can dine and lounge while gazing out on the water and feeling the ocean breeze. We offer the gourmet inclusive option for $500 per day (base rate for up to 8 people) with professional chef making breakfast, lunch and dinner - save the hassle and the cost of cooking for yourself! You meals are on the table at the hour you desire - just email any dietary restrictions or preferences. All ingredients are provided - just pay for your choice of alcoholic beverages - we'll shop for your list at cost plus 25%.

The white sand beach is at your feet, plus walking trails through diverse eco-systems of forest, jungle, and mangrove. Casa Vela is equipped with Ping-Pong, stand-up paddle boards and kayaks for exercise and fun. Explore the adjacent fresh water spring-fed “cenote” at Tres Rios - lovely for snorkeling and swimming against the current. Plus, lots of recreation and entertainment is close by, including: a Greg Norman-designed PGA golf course; eco-cultural centers Xcaret and Xplor; and archeological sites of the Mayan civilization.
