Awaken to the rising sun painting the sky with hues of gold at Casa de las Palmas, snuggled at the southeast end of Isla Mujeres, where the Caribbean Sea is just a pebble’s throw away. This beautifully set property is like a private slice of luxury paradise with a large central pool that’s perfect for cannonballs, a barbecue for those evening cookouts, a patio area for chillaxing, and grassy gardens where the kids can run free.

Housing options here are as flexible as your vacation plans – the main villa perched at the top of the property comes with four bedrooms, a spacious living room, dining room, and a kitchen so big, you might need a map. At the front of the property, you’ll find two ‘casitas’ – each a double-decker of comfort with two bedrooms upstairs and a living room, dining room, and full kitchen downstairs.

The whole place is decorated with happy tropical colors and artisan crafts, plenty of comfy sofas and chairs to kick back in after a day in the sun or take a siesta in one of the hammocks on the covered patio.

You can rent the houses separately or all together for a total of 8 bedrooms (that’s a total of 16 people max), making Casa de las Palmas perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone who loves the sound of the waves. And speaking of waves, right across the road is a rocky beach area where you can hunt for shells and sea glass – because who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt?
