Built at the entrance of the Yal-Ku lagoon, it has a unique view of both the ocean and the lagoon. Bordered by a rocky coastline, Villa Gauguin has direct access to the lagoon, a natural aquarium where you can snorkel, canoe or simply swim in its crystalline waters, looking for sea turtles which frequent the lagoon.

Villa Gauguin is an ideal place for those seeking a refined and luxurious environment for their holidays. This villa was built in a minimalist style with pure and simple lines allowing a full integration with the natural surroundings. The architectural principle of Villa Gauguin is the “sea” and all its shades.

Once you open the entrance door, you will be amazed by the 180° view of the Yal-Ku lagoon. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow a perfect integration of the house and the sea.

Akumal, “Turtle’s nest” in Mayan, is a favorite place for the sea turtles to lay their eggs. Akumal has two bays with beautiful beaches, ideal for swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving as the corral reef is very closed to the coastline.

• 3 Scuba diving schools
• Aquatic sports: sailing, fishing, snorkeling, etc.
• 2 small supermarkets
• open air market with fruit and vegetables twice a week
• 7 restaurants
• 2 beach bars
• bike rental shop
• internet café with broadband connections
• fitness center
• aerobic and yoga classes
• massages
  
  

In the surroundings of Akumal, there are some 200 entrances to the “cenotes”, subterranean caves with depths up to 170 yards and very clear waters. The main centers for scuba diving in “cenotes” are in Akumal.

For the golf fanatics, the Playacar resort in Playa del Carmen, has a world-famous 18 holes course and in Puerto Aventuras (15 mn from Akumal), there is a 9 holes course.

For nature lovers, Akumal is close to various ecological parks like:

• Xel-Ha – 10 Miles
