The decor is light and neutral, punctuated by brightly coloured artworks, plush cream armchairs and beautifully crafted furniture in dark wood. There is a gorgeous corner sofa in shades of dark peach and rich gold, as well as comfy bean bags to sink into in front of the widescreen TV, and quirky touches such as the glass topped rowing boat table and wall-mounted ship steering wheel and oars, which give the property an eclectic and vibrant beachy feel. The villa features a grand dining area and beautiful well-equipped kitchen, both of which feature lots of polished wood and marble for a glossy, contemporary look.

Location
About the surrounding area of Casa CaraCasa Cara is located on the secluded and serene beach of Soliman Bay near Tulum, a virtual paradise of turquoise waters, powdery white sands, and shady palms. Because it is part of a semi-private gated community Soliman Bay beach is never crowded, making it an ideal holiday destination for families with children, and those who are looking forward to water sports, kayaking and snorkelling, as well as offering a slice of tranquil tropical getaway. The bay is situated in the heart of Riviera Maya, and just 15 minutes from Tulum - which is central to Akumal and Playa del Carmen. One of the most important sights in Tulum, and a must-see for visitors, are the Mayan ruins. Located on a cliff facing the Carribean Sea, this World Heritage site is the only archaeological site that sits on the seashore, and is one of the most photogenic in the country - worth knowing if Instagram is your thing!
Under the cliff you will find Paradise Beach, which is considered one of the best beaches in the Riviera Maya. From here you’ll be able to partake in excursions to the famous Mesoamerican Reef Barrier, and to The Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, which measures half a million hectares and covers all possible scenarios, including beaches, coral reefs, rainforests, dunes and natural wells.
Beaches and natural wonders aside, Tulum is also known for its bohemian beach town feel thanks to its trendy bars and coffee shops and laid-back vibe. The streets teem with quirky souvenir shops and restaurants showcasing classic Mayan flavours, and delicious Mexican cuisine such as Tacos, quesadilla and seafood. The atmosphere is friendly, light, and unpretentious, with fruity cocktails, bottled Mexican beer, and music all flowing freely.
