Chateau Sixteen

Chateau Sixteen, also known as 16Tulum, is an alluring eight-bedroom minimalist retreat in the La Veleta neighborhood of Tulum, offering over twelve thousand square feet of indoor and outdoor living space for up to eighteen guests. This private residence encapsulates the essence of Tulum’s barefoot luxury in a contemporary design that balances textural organic materials, smooth concrete, open walls, and abundant natural light. Step through the property’s striking circular entrance to discover total privacy within lush jungle vegetation, with the idyllic beaches of the Mexican Caribbean just a ten-minute drive away and Tulum’s vibrant restaurants, shops, and bars within a short bike ride.

Each of the eight suites is completely independent with private access, private bathrooms, air conditioning, hairdryers, organic toiletries, safety boxes, and WiFi. The ground-level rooms include private plunge pools and gardens, creating intimate outdoor retreats, while the upper-level suites offer terraces perfect for lounging and stargazing. Beds can be configured as king or twin depending on guest preference. The earthy and tactile aesthetic features smooth concrete, warm wood, and cacti vivariums dotted through the interiors, creating a stylish atmosphere where indoor and outdoor areas merge seamlessly through scenes of lush tropical vegetation.

The centerpiece of the outdoor spaces is a spectacular eighteen-meter swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and shaded seating areas. A fire pit in the garden provides a gathering point for pleasant evenings with friends and family, while the jungle-view lounge creates a dramatic setting for sunset cocktails. The property is committed to sustainability, eliminating single-use plastics and featuring locally sourced organic amenities presented in refillable bottles, with an osmosis-filtered drinking water tap in the kitchen. Dedicated parking is provided on the property.

Daily chef service is available to prepare breakfast each morning beside the pool, with additional meals available upon request. A concierge, housekeeping, security, maintenance staff, and villa manager ensure that every detail of your stay is attended to. Tulum’s archaeological site is a ten-minute drive, and the Riviera Maya’s cenotes, coral reefs, and diverse dining scene are all easily accessible. Cancun International Airport is approximately ninety minutes away, and the new Tulum International Airport is just forty minutes by car.
