Villa La Gran Tortuga - 5 bedrooms - Sleeps 10
The space
Please note that this region may be affected by shifting seasonal currents and weather patterns causing an influx of seaweed at the beach.
Situated along the Mayan Riviera on the white sandy beachfront of Playa del Secreto, the Gran Tortuga luxury estate is one of the most sought-after destinations in the country. A favorite destination among elite vacationers, as well as giant sea turtles, Villa La Gran Tortuga is an incredibly private oasis, sure to make your secluded beach vacation dreams come true. Nearby, you’ll find golf, historical sites, natural wonders, and vibrant cities along the Mayan Riviera.
From the outside, Villa La Gran Tortuga looks like a rugged, open-air, tropical paradise. And, it is. But, carefully placed throughout the beach house ambiance, you’ll find high-end electronics, vibrant works of art, a state of the art kitchen, and designer furniture, all displaying Tortuga’s luxurious side. The main common area features numerous openings to the incredible ocean view, inviting fresh breeze and natural sunlight to flow-freely within. The color scheme is earthy, with plenty of wood, stone, and stucco features that create a warm, and instantly relaxing atmosphere.
Outside, you’ll fall in love with the sandy beachfront vibe, which is further enhanced by the hay-thatched palapas, sun beds, hammocks, and the row of lounge chairs down by the water. The terrace is also a great setting for alfresco dining, poolside cocktails, and late-night dips in the hot tub. Back inside, you’ll appreciate air conditioning, office, and Wi-Fi.
Valuing its privacy and unspoiled natural surroundings, Villa La Gran Tortuga, and its neighbors, are dedicated to preserving their community’s immaculate and exclusive location. The nearest city is Puerto Aventuras, about forty minutes from home. There, you’ll find exciting adventure tourism, shopping, nightlife, and a wide range of restaurants. About fifteen minutes from Gran Tortuga, you’ll find the El Camaleon Mayakoba Golf Club, which features beautifully scenic oceanside fairways. And, no trip to the Riviera is complete without visiting the Mayan Ruins in Tulum, about an hour from home.

Neighborhood highlights
The Riviera Maya is an adventurer’s playground. Hikers will love traipsing through dense jungle in search of natural curiosities and the ancient Mayan relics. Divers and snorkelers will take advantage of the lush Meso-American reef environment. And if that all sounds like too much, the beach is never too far away. A humid tropical climate, average highs of 27–33 °C (80–91 °F) year round.
