Akumal is a peaceful community near great natural sites and the most beautiful beaches I have visited through my travels. We are 45 km south of Cancun; 15 – 20 km south of Playa del Carmen and 15 kms. north of Tulum. North Akumal has a market on Wed & Sat; small grocery store, many great restaurants, dive & snorkeling centers. Short driving distance to Tulum & Coba Mayan Ruins. Tulum Beach is worth a trip while visiting the area as it is ranked by many travel magazines as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and we agree. Sea turtles nest in North Akumal, Jade Beach and their is an ecology center (CEA) where guests can learn more about the coral reef and help man beaches during turtle nesting season. Our home is a great place for a family and friends to gather, reconnect and share great memories together.

Guest access
Filtered water left for guests is free of charge. Feel free to roam the neighborhood and enjoy walk to look out point and sandy beach short walking distance to our home. Bring water shoes to enjoy walking on coral and collecting beautiful sea treasures that you will encounter on your adventure.

Other things to note
We highly recommend visiting Coba as well as Tulum as both are fabulous Mayan ruins. Snorkeling in nearby beach (footsteps away), North Akumal as well an short drive to great cenotes (Cyrstal is our favorite) and Soloman bay are always rewarding. Ask Armando (manger) for any info. regarding other sites of interest or arranging fishing excursions. Our favorite is Muyil (just south of TULUM, 20 mins. south of our home) for spending a relaxing day floating in the clear waters of Xian Khan (largest bioreserve in Western hemisphere and a Unesco World Heritage Site).
