Overview

Wedding Venue Pool Villa/House
Wow Factor
Modern Ideal for Kids Walk to Beach All Bedrooms En-Suite

Situated on a semi-private beach on Soliman bay, Tulum, sits Villa Sands; an architecturally stunning six bed property, resplendent in terracotta and white. From it’s impressive exterior pillars, arches, and private pool, to the rooftop terrace and separate guest house, Villa Sands oozes luxury and sophistication. Located in a private gated community, this beachfront holiday home accommodates up to twelve guests and boasts modern design and amenities, as well as outdoor and indoor lounge areas, an outdoor grill, and spectacular ocean views.

Within the walled exterior of Villa Sands guests can enjoy lush garden areas and shady palms, as well as a covered outdoor dining area and comfy lounge. The villa benefits from an outside grill, perfect for entertaining on a warm evening or rustling up an afternoon feast, and the large private pool, surrounded by loungers, is ideal for a leisurely swim, cooling dip, or family pool game. The floor to ceiling sliding glass doors throughout the ground floor of the property flood the living spaces with light and make sure that no one can miss the incredible view of the pool as well as the sand and sea beyond.

The ground floor houses the first of five bedrooms found in the main villa, and like all the bedrooms features a king-size bed. Guests staying in this room can enjoy beautiful views of the property’s tropical gardens, and will feel well-rested in the large comfy bed framed by dark wood and offset by the fresh white linens and neutral shades in the decor. The other bedrooms are decorated in a similar style, with king-size beds, solid dark wooden furniture, and light natural shades in the soft furnishings. Some of the bedrooms feature colourful wall art, and pops of teal or scarlett are present in the scatter cushions, curtains and throws. There are three bedrooms located on the first floor of the villa, including the master suite, all of which have access to a balcony overlooking either the gardens or the ocean. Bedroom five is the rooftop suite, which, alongside everything else, offers breathtaking views of the ocean and the entire bay.

The sixth bedroom can be found in the onsite guest house and is decorated to the same incredibly high standard, with a queen-size bed. All of the rooms benefit from en-suite shower facilities, with one of the bedrooms on the second floor also boasting a jetted tub.

Guests staying at Villa Sands can enjoy their own private stretch of white sandy beach on Soliman Bay, an area known for its tranquility and seclusion, as well as its crystal clear waters and beautiful offshore reef that is just begging to be explored. The Villa provides snorkelling equipment for guests to use during their stay, and once you’ve finished lounging by the pool, and enjoyed some time swinging in a hammock under the palms, we highly recommend you venture out into the calm turquoise waters and take in some of the colourful sea life that the Caribbean Sea has to offer.

What you should know…

  • One of the bedrooms is located in a garden annexe which may not suit all groups, but is great for those who want a bit of privacy
  • Due to weather changes and fluctuating ocean currents, the Riviera Maya may experience the presence of naturally occurring seaweed during the summer months

Villa Sands can be found on Soliman Bay; a semi-private beach that is part of a gated community in the Mayan Riviera. The bay lies between the laid-back, yoga-retreat town of Tulum and Akumal, (known as ‘The Place Of The Turtle’), and the surrounding area’s natural features that include fine white sand, turquoise waters, cenotes, jungles and reefs make it a much lauded holiday destination. Soliman Bay is secluded and quiet, making it ideal for holidaymakers who want to experience Mexico without being in the thick of the more touristy areas such as Cancun, and as a result it maintains a rustic and peaceful vibe. The bay is located in a residential community and so luxury cabanas and villas are dotted along the shore, and there is even a small local restaurant serving the finest seafood, local beers, homemade guacamole, and fresh fruit juices.

On the surface of it, Soliman Bay is perfect for a quiet and restful holiday, but there is a lot going on under the water! Snorkelling and kayaking are hugely popular here, and visitors will be able to explore the amazing reef that lies just offshore. The waters are home to puffer fish, needle fish and flounders, as well as squid and sea turtles, which you will be able to swim alongside amidst the anemones and coral that populate this small yet stunning reef.

Region

Hugging the Caribbean coastline of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, Tulum enjoys incredible white sandy beaches, ancient Mayan ruins and a bustling cultural scene. This coastal town, once a quiet fishing village, has evolved into a sought-after destination, offering a unique blend of history, natural beauty and considerable contemporary charm. Tulum has embraced sustainable tourism and many resorts showcase eco-friendly architecture that seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings. From boutique hotels to luxurious beachfront properties, these establishments often prioritize eco-conscious practices, making them a perfect choice for travellers seeking a harmonious blend of comfort and environmental responsibility. Tulum has become a global hub for wellness seekers, with numerous yoga retreats and wellness centres. Visitors can participate in beachfront yoga sessions, holistic spa treatments and meditation workshops, immersing themselves in a rejuvenating and mindful experience.

One of the most iconic attractions in Tulum is the ancient Mayan archaeological site, perched majestically on cliffs overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The well-preserved ruins include the Castillo, a towering pyramid, and the Temple of the Frescoes, adorned with intricate carvings. Visitors can explore the remnants of this once-thriving city and marvel at the ingenuity of the Mayan civilization.

Stretching along the coast, Tulum's beaches are renowned for their powdery white sand and crystal-clear waters. Playa Paraíso is a favourite among sun-seekers, offering a serene setting for relaxation and water activities. Snorkeling and diving enthusiasts can explore the vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life just off the shore. A unique architectural feature of Tulum's beachfront are the charming cabanas. These rustic yet stylish thatched-roof huts provide a cozy and intimate setting, allowing guests to experience the beauty of the Caribbean Sea right at their doorstep.

The Yucatán Peninsula is dotted with cenotes, natural sinkholes formed by collapsed cave systems. In the Tulum region, cenotes such as Gran Cenote and Dos Ojos beckon adventurers with their enchanting underground landscapes. These freshwater pools provide a refreshing escape from the heat and an opportunity for snorkeling and cave exploration. For nature lovers, a visit to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is a must. This UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses a diverse range of ecosystems, including mangroves, wetlands and coral reefs. Guided tours offer glimpses of the region's rich biodiversity, with opportunities to spot dolphins, manatees and numerous bird species. Exploring Tulum by bicycle is a popular and eco-friendly way to take in the sights. The town and its surroundings offer bike-friendly paths, allowing cyclists to traverse the area at a leisurely pace, from the archaeological site to the vibrant town centre. Families with a love for wildlife can visit the Tulum Monkey Sanctuary, where rescued monkeys and other animals are cared for. Educational tours allow children and adults alike to learn about the importance of conservation and animal welfare.

A short drive from Tulum, Akumal is known for its serene beaches and the opportunity to swim with sea turtles in their natural habitat. The laid-back atmosphere and vibrant coral reefs make it a delightful day trip destination. Inland from Tulum lies Valladolid, a colonial town steeped in history. Its characterful streets, historic churches and vibrant markets provide a glimpse into Mexico's colonial past. The nearby Cenote Zaci offers a refreshing break for those exploring the town.

Tulum beckons with open arms, inviting you to explore its rich tapestry of culture and landscapes. It will send you home with marvellous holiday memories.

Kids

Best Suited For: All Ages
Ideal for Kids Ideal for Teens

Families choose Soliman Bay for its quiet secluded location and semi-private beach, which makes it an ideal choice for those travelling with young children. The waters here are clear and calm, which is appealing to those who want to be able to enjoy the water without worrying about strong undercurrents, and you won’t be experiencing any crowds on the beach. This does mean of course creating your own entertainment, without the organised beach sports and off-shore inflatables that are available at some of the nearby beaches.

Having said that, for children who are happy to spend their time playing in the sand or collecting seashells, Soliman Bay creates a perfect family holiday. Kids will love spotting the local marine life, including turtles and brightly coloured fish, as well as the iguanas that call the area home and can often be spotted in the bay. It’s worth noting that it can be quite rocky in places, particularly as you enter the water, so footwear is advised to prevent cuts to little feet!

The villa itself makes for lovely family accommodation, particularly if you have a couple of families staying together. The addition of en-suite facilities as well as a separate guest house means that everyone can maintain their privacy when needed, and yet still be able to come together in the common areas to enjoy bbqs, drinks, and relaxing in the sun or pool together.
