Overview
Nestled deep within the lush jungle canopy between Akumal and Puerto Aventuras, this extraordinary fully walled compound spans more than 12 acres across nine contiguous lots, offering an unmatched level of privacy and self-sufficiency along Mexico's Riviera Maya. Just a 10-minute drive from the pristine white sands of Xpu-Ha Beach, the estate seamlessly blends tropical grandeur with world-class infrastructure.
Currently developed across four of the nine lots, the property features a sprawling main residence and a semi-remodeled guest house, together offering 16 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms — all enclosed within a four-meter-high perimeter wall. The remaining five lots present exceptional potential for future expansion, additional residences, or bespoke amenities.
At the heart of the estate lies a spectacular cenote-fed swimming pool stretching 24 meters long and 2.5 meters deep, flanked by an expansive palapa-covered entertainment pavilion with open-air lounge seating, a bar, and direct pool access. Beyond the pool, the property unfolds into a series of extraordinary spaces: a full-service luxury spa with sauna, hair, and nail salon; a private cinema room; a commercial-grade Life Fitness gym; and five individually themed bar areas — including dedicated tequila and whisky bars.
Perhaps the estate's most captivating feature is its natural underground cavern system. Accessible discreetly from the garage area, a winding path through dramatic stalactite and stalagmite formations leads to a hidden speakeasy-style whisky bar, entered through a classic British telephone booth. Adjacent to this subterranean world sits a climate-controlled wine cellar with capacity for over 800 bottles.
Designed for complete autonomy, the compound is powered by a solar energy farm supplemented by two backup generators providing up to 14 days of independent power. Fiber optic internet with dedicated server rooms ensures seamless connectivity. Double-wide golf cart paths wind through more than $3 million USD worth of mature tropical landscaping, connecting multiple garages, extensive storage facilities, and a commercial-grade outdoor kitchen adjacent to the pool.
The estate operates as a fully staffed, turnkey property with an executive chef, dedicated housekeeping, maintenance, and landscaping teams, and twelve on-site security personnel providing around-the-clock coverage.
Whether envisioned as an ultra-private family sanctuary, a luxury rental compound, a boutique wellness retreat, or a world-class event venue, this property offers a scale, privacy, and level of self-sufficiency that is virtually impossible to replicate.
