About The Villa

Named after the Maya god of the forest, Villa Yum Kaax is a stunning eight-bedroom private villa in Tulum’s La Veleta neighborhood where Moroccan elegance meets minimalist jungle design. This modern interpretation of a Moorish palace sits in the heart of the tropical forest, built to connect intimately with the lush environment through seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, round arches, earthy hues, and fine materials that give the residence a regal yet relaxed atmosphere. Accommodating up to sixteen guests, the villa is ideal for family gatherings, wellness retreats, or groups of friends seeking a refined base from which to explore the Riviera Maya.

Each of the eight bedrooms features a king-size bed and private ensuite bathroom, with six rooms offering elegant bathtubs, some tastefully integrated into the suite design. The interiors showcase handcrafted finishes and soft architectural curves that reflect a fusion of cultures, while natural materials enhance the connection to the surrounding vegetation. Common areas are equally refined, with the large dining table positioned beside a patio jacuzzi and the elegant Caribbean gardens planted with endemic trees, creating a living tableau of color and texture.

The rooftop terrace is the crown of Yum Kaax, featuring the main swimming pool, sun loungers, and an ideal vantage point for watching the sun set over the jungle canopy. The outdoor spaces are designed for gathering, with multiple seating areas distributed across garden courtyards and terraces that capture the tropical breezes. Indoor and outdoor living merge through the architecture’s open design, allowing guests to drift between the pool, gardens, lounges, and dining areas with ease.

Villa Yum Kaax shares a wall with the neighboring Villa Ambre et Epices, and the two properties can be combined for larger group bookings of up to forty guests under the Villa Riad Ambre et Epices rate. Located just five minutes from downtown Tulum and fifteen minutes from the beach zone, the villa offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Cancun International Airport is approximately 121 kilometers north, and the new Tulum International Airport is just 40 kilometers away.

Five nights at Villa Yum Kaax. 8 of us, eight bedrooms. Chef served breakfast by the pool and dinner on the terrace, both excellent. The garden gives the property a settled, private feel. We spent a day at Sian Ka’an and snorkeled the reef. Good value for the group size.

I wasn’t expecting the sounds. Frogs, insects, something rustling in the trees, the distant pulse of Tulum town. It’s a living, breathing jungle out here and the house sits right in the middle of it. The cook’s food was earthy and Yucatecan — sopa de lima, panuchos, a slow-roasted cochinita pibil that fell apart when you looked at it. We swam in cenotes, did a yoga session in the garden clearing, slept like the dead. No ocean view — you’re trading water for forest and it’s worth it. Power flickered once during a storm but came right back.

Coatis showed up at breakfast on day two — the kids lost their minds. Yum Kaax sits deep in Tulum jungle, eight bedrooms across the compound. No ocean, chef. We cooked simple meals, ate at restaurants, and spent days at cenotes and ruins. The birdsong at dawn is the best alarm clock. Paths between buildings are uneven stone — watch your step after dark. One more thing — the check-in process was smooth, the welcome information was clear and accurate, and they stocked the fridge with water, beer, and some local fruit which was a really nice touch that we didn’t expect. My wife said it’s the small things that separate a good stay from a great one and I think she’s right. We also used the BBQ twice and it’s properly maintained — clean grates, working ignition, full gas tank. I’m writing a long review because honestly most of the short ones don’t give you enough to actually decide if a place is right for you. Hope this helps someone.
