Casa Ixchel

Casa Ixchel is a breathtaking six-bedroom oceanfront estate nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the lush jungle of Tulum’s Beach Zone, designed by renowned architect Alberto Schutte in a minimalist style that celebrates open-air living and natural serenity. Named for the Mayan goddess of love, this extraordinary property is one of the last residences before the entrance to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, a UNESCO World Heritage site, yet remains just a short drive from Tulum’s vibrant dining, shopping, and archaeological sites. Accommodating up to twelve guests, the villa is entirely self-sufficient, powered by sun, wind, and an ultra-silent backup generator, delivering zero-carbon luxury without sacrificing a single modern comfort.

The villa’s six spacious bedrooms are arranged across two floors with high ceilings, white walls, and soft stone floors throughout. The master suite on the first floor features a king bed, walk-in closet, stand-alone bathtub, dual vanity, and a private ocean-view balcony, while a second king bedroom on the same floor mirrors the layout with its own walk-in closet and private balcony. Two additional bedrooms with twin queen beds offer ocean views, and two ground-level bedrooms provide direct pool and terrace access. Every room includes air conditioning, ceiling fans, rainforest showers, TVs, safety boxes, and hairdryers. The sleek interiors feature cream sofas, warm wooden beams, and natural light that pours through expansive glass doors opening onto the terrace.

The grounds are equally impressive. A swimming pool with built-in jacuzzi is surrounded by manicured gardens, sun loungers, and parasols, while a private gym and massage area provide wellness amenities steps from the sea. A thatched-roof palapa on the beach serves as an open-air dining and lounge area directly on the white sand. The villa also boasts its own private cenote with a two-story deck, rooftop sunbathing area, changing room, and a wooden trail through the mangroves. Snorkeling gear, kayaks, beach toys for children, and four bicycles are all included for guests to explore the coastline and surrounding nature.

What truly distinguishes Casa Ixchel is its fully inclusive service. All meals, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages are included with your stay, prepared by a private chef using personalized menus with fresh ingredients purchased daily. A full staff of manager, waiter, housekeeper, and gardener provides around-the-clock care. Cancun International Airport is approximately 128 kilometers to the north, and the new Tulum International Airport is just 50 kilometers away.
