A peaceful retreat with direct beach access, nestled within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve

Casa Nalum is a beautiful beachfront sanctuary in Tulum. This exclusive luxury villa offers rare dual-waterfront privacy, with the tranquil Campechen lagoon on one side and the powder-white sands of the Caribbean coastline on the other. Set on a private two-acre estate, this extraordinary five-bedroom villa seamlessly pairs architectural elegance with the raw beauty of the Riviera Maya.

Perched on stilts, the villa offers elevated views of the surrounding area. An infinity pool stretches out from the property, enveloped by lush jungle for privacy and shade. Plush poolside day beds provide the perfect place to relax post-swim.

Wraparound terraces are perfect for al fresco dining and socialising with loved ones. Above, a panoramic rooftop terrace provides uninterrupted 360-degree views, offering a stunning setting for sunrise yoga overlooking the Caribbean or evening cocktails as the sun dips below the lagoon horizon.

Just steps from the villa, a 300-foot stretch of sand beckons. Decked out with more day beds for sunbathing, as well as a shaded pergola area, guests have plenty of space to unwind after a refreshing swim or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters. Hammocks slung between palms are perfect for an afternoon siesta before relaxed evening drinks or an al fresco meal on the sand.

Designed with contemporary Mayan influences, Casa Nalum perfectly blends luxury elements with its wild surroundings. Organic local materials, soaring ceilings, and expansive glass walls create seamless transitions between nature and indoor living.

A spacious, open-plan living area serves as the social hub of the villa. Plush lounge seating centres around a 120-inch cinema projector, and a dining corner provides space for elegant meals. Expansive glass doors open onto sweeping wooden decks, allowing soft ocean breezes and natural light to drift through the space.

The villa comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests across five spacious bedrooms. On the main floor, a master bedroom features a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, while a second king-size room and a twin with two double beds share a bathroom and balcony. The beach level of the villa features a second master bedroom with en-suite facilities and direct beach access. The fifth bedroom is located in the attic, comprising a king-size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a soaring, tented ceiling.

With its serene location, beautiful infinity pool, and direct beach access, Casa Nalum is an exclusive luxury sanctuary in beautiful Tulum.

About the area

Situated within Tulum’s Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site on the Yucatán Peninsula, Casa Nalum occupies a private stretch of land between the Campechen Lagoon and the Caribbean Sea. Guests enjoy direct access to world-class snorkelling along an offshore barrier reef on one side, and calm lagoon waters ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding on the other.

This protected reserve is celebrated for its pristine jungles, vibrant coral reefs, and sacred Mayan cenotes, freshwater sinkholes framed by limestone walls and jungle roots.

Despite its serene location, the villa remains just a short drive from central Tulum’s vibrant hotel zone, gourmet restaurants, and lively beach clubs.

Why guests love our villas...

Best Family Trip

5/5

"Just ended the most epic week celebrating my parents 50th anniversary in this gorgeous villa which has amazing facilities like a separate gym, a huge terrace with surreal views of the mountains and Bellagio, a gorgeous pool, and a ping pong table. This kept the kids happy which means it let us adults rest. The villa was kept super clean with the most helpful Terrence who made everyone of us feel at home. Terrence kept the kitchen stocked, and helped organised everything. Mauro, Michael and Elisabetta's breakfasts and dinners were fantastic and we really got to experience Italian hospitality. Chef Mauro's cooking class and Angela's yoga class were a family trip highlight. Thank you to all for making this such a memorable holiday "
