Hacienda Chekul

Hacienda Chekul is an extraordinary beachfront estate hidden on six acres of jungle between the Caribbean Sea and the cool waters of Chunyaxche Lagoon, deep within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. Designed by award-winning architect Salvador Reyes Rios, this four-bedroom villa reflects the finest architectural heritage of the Yucatan and Quintana Roo regions while providing the convenience and comfort of contemporary living. With over one hundred meters of pristine white beachfront, complete self-sufficiency through state-of-the-art solar and wind power systems, and a full staff delivering all meals, airport transfers, and personalized service, Hacienda Chekul represents the pinnacle of eco-luxury in the Mexican Caribbean.

The villa is vast and filled with light, with gorgeous outdoor spaces that emphasize the opportunity to contemplate and enjoy the lush vegetation alongside spectacular views of the sea and jungle. Four bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, ceiling fans, and window screens, accommodate up to ten guests. The master suite and second bedroom both feature king beds with ocean views and direct pool access from their terraces. Two additional bedrooms round out the accommodations, all maintained to the high hospitality standards set by Nalum Private Retreats. Modern comforts include Sky TV, cinema entertainment, broadband WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen, all powered entirely by renewable energy.

Outdoors, the private infinity pool stretches along the oceanfront terrace, and over one hundred meters of pristine beach provide an almost private shoreline for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing. The six-acre jungle estate offers walking trails through tropical vegetation, birdwatching, and direct access to the lagoon for kayaking and exploring. Rates include a full-time staff, airport transfers from Cancun, all meals, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages, prepared with personalized dietary requirements organized prior to arrival. The service is attentive but discreet, designed to make guests feel at home.

Hacienda Chekul sits approximately seven kilometers into the reserve on an unpaved road, roughly twenty-five to thirty minutes’ drive from Tulum’s restaurants, boutiques, and nightlife. The Punta Allen fishing village is approximately forty-five minutes further along the coast. Cancun International Airport is approximately two hours to the north, with the new Tulum International Airport significantly closer.
