Located in the exclusive Playa Car neighbourhood — with 24-hour security, the best beach in Playa del Carmen and its own Mayan ruins — this Playa del Carmen villa rental should be your first choice for a family getaway, romantic sojourn or an escape with friends. Just a 10-minute walk or an even quicker bicycle ride from 5th Avenue, you have all the benefits of the lively destination close by while enjoying the advantages of a quiet, high-end, gated community.

Gracefully decorated, the home’s open-plan contemporary design with subtle Caribbean touches creates a soothing air-conditioned environment while two pools and beach access just a few steps away provide elegant options for water-filled fun outside. The rooftop pool and its cute palm-covered palapa shade is a great place for watching the sunrise over breakfast or socialising of an evening.

Great size for a family and not too overwhelming for honeymooners and couples, this villa is a versatile option.
