Come experience life under the stars and peaceful bliss of Punta Allen!

THE PROPERTY.

Venture to the end of the earth and see where the sky is born.  Immerse yourself in one of the most ecologically unique locations in the Mexican Caribbean.  Casablanca, located in the Sian Ka'an by the village of Punta Allen, is a self-sustaining, eco-chic, villa.  Live comfortably on power generated by the sun and bathe in filtered rain water. The villa offers unsurpassed tranquility and a private white sand beach with some of the most turquoise colored waters found on earth. Casablanca sits on a large lot and is hugged by the Caribbean Sea in the front and a salt water lagoon in the back. Breathtaking, panoramic views of the ocean, jungle, and lagoon are available from the rooftop terrace during the day and unparalleled views of the constellations at night.  

Casablanca was designed to bring the outdoors in. Floor to ceiling windows invite natural light tropical landscape to come in. Sea breezes can be felt from every room. The Villa contains a full kitchen, living room, downstairs powder room, outdoor shower, multiple outdoor eating areas, and 2 rooftop terraces. Casablanca comfortably sleeps 4 people but can accommodate up to 6 for an additional fee. The two upstairs bedrooms each have a queen-sized, pillow top mattress bed, full bathroom, AC units, and ceiling fans. Additional sleeping areas available in the living room. 

 
​THE AREA.

In the language of the Mayans who once inhabited this region, Sian Ka'an means 'Origin of the Sky’. Established in 1986, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere is the largest protected area (1.3 million acres) in the Mexican Caribbean. Less than two per cent of Sian Ka’an is private property, and there are restrictions in place to ensure natural resources are used in a balanced way: maximum allowable building sizes depend on the plot, and some vegetation, such as palm trees, cannot be removed—an aim intended improve the relationship between the people and the environment.

The biosphere reserve provides a habitat for a remarkably rich flora and a fauna comprised of more than 1000 species of plants, 379 species of birds, as well as large numbers of mammals, butterflies, beetles, dragonflies, and crustaceans. Visitors can expect to see creatures that are rarely found elsewhere. This includes manatees, four species of marine turtle, howler and spider monkeys, the rare Jabiru stork, jaguars, pumas, ocelots, pink flamingos, toucans and tapirs.

The Sian Ka’an is a diverse environment formed by a complex hydrological system. It contains tropical forests, marshes, mangroves, marine grass, inlets, and many coastal and in-land lagoons. It is also home to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the worlds’ second largest barrier reef. Here you will find 84 species of coral, including the “brain coral, which can reach up to seven meters in diameter. The reef is visited by hundreds of species of fish, including macabí, sharks, shad, bass, and palometa.

Punta Allen, home to less than 500 inhabitants, is the largest village in the Sian Ka’an found at the end of the Boca Paila Peninsula. Sitting roughly 50 kilometers from Tulum, the fishing village has only about 4-5 blocks of sandy streets going inland from the sea and is only about 6-7 streets wide. Multiple markets, restaurants, and other conveniences can be found scattered throughout the village.

The area exudes a laid-back ambience and is home to many un-groomed beaches and waters that gleam in a shade of turquoise that’s nearly phosphorescent. Punta Allen draws bone fishermen from all over the world who enjoy the saltwater flats and fly-fishing. Cooperatives in town offer fishing trips, dolphin-watching outings and snorkeling expeditions.

The end of the road, literally:) The house is very comfortable and once we figured out that a bit of bug spray got rid of mosquitoes we were all good. Nikki our local host (she runs a hotel in town) was very welcoming and helpful (lent me a guitar, let us use her own private beach) and Mariano helped us get bikes ready. The road to get there is a challenge and you need to be up for a lot of potholes to negotiate . It took us about 2.5 hours for the 30 mile dirt road in a midsize rental suv (not AWD) and I am comfortable driving dirt roads. The trip back out felt harder. Also, just like the whole coast of that part of the world it is sad to see all this plastic piling up on the beaches. No matter how much you clean up more is back the next day… this is not an issue with the property, it is the case everywhere in the region… Otherwise be ready to either live in simple foods from the village (fresh fish and lobster, not a bad thing :)) or pack up a bit with you from Tulum grocery store. We loved how simple our lives were there and we actually forgot our departure date and would have missed our flight by a day if our daughter had not checked her emails on the house wifi (it works well)! Maybe a way to explore to get there is to rent a boat ride from Tulum (2 hours long?)

Off the grid
Wonderful stay off the grid. A perfect time to detox from normal life. Off the grid in a beautiful environment, friendly town and stunning nature. The perfect house, perfect setting and wonderful property manager. It was everything we expected and everything we wanted. Wish we could have stayed longer than a week.

Secluded Paradise
My family of 4, all adults stayed in this home for over a week in December. It allowed us to make memories that we will never forget. The property manager Nicki was a delight to work with, very responsive and lives just right down the road. Punta Allen is incredibly remote. The locals are all very friendly. The few restaurants are all delicious. This home is tucked back off the private beach, it does have a lagoon in the back. Bring several cans of heavy duty bug spray. One can was provided at the house for us and we also brought our own. If you are looking for a unique experience, a little like "glamping", want to experience life off grid, detach, reboot, fly fish to your hearts content, shell seek, play games, reconnect with family, maybe overcome a few adversities, then this is the spot for you. It's not easy getting to Punta Allen, but if you love solitude, nature and fishing, then this is your spot.

Spectacular
We spent Easter weekend here, and made memories that will last a lifetime. Nikki was wonderful (Property mgr) Punta Allen is about as authentic as it comes. We swam in the ocean each morning, and had the best Easter Egg hunt on the property. Thank you for sharing this place with us. 5 stars!

Very remote location, off the grid!
The owner is friendly and helpful, and Niki, Mario and Elda the caretakers are very helpful. The house was little smaller than expected - really best suited for 4 adults. It’s solar powered and completely off the grid. We were there during and after some stormy weather so had some periods without power, hot water, etc. The owner is aware of the issues we had, and I believe he will be fixing them. The town is vey small with just a few mini supers and beach front restaurants, so bring supplies and be prepared for a rough drive once you get south of Tulum, especially if it has been raining. We had windy conditions, so the water was cloudy and choppy, but the beach is nice and we had a great excursion with Captain Pancho into the lagoon to see manatees, flamingos, crocodiles and many different birds

Where the jungle meets the sea!
Casablanca was a gorgeous home just outside of charming Punta Allen. Despite recent management changes, the owner, Joel made sure our stay was perfect. The new property caretakers (Niki, Mariano, Elda) were absolutely fantastic. They made sure that we had everything we needed and more- even when Hurricane Lisa paid us a visit! The home was clean, well-equipped, and provided our family with lasting memories.

Secluded but not cut off
Our family of four made great memories. The location is very private. Nice amenities not listed in the description included filtered water, kayaks, bikes, two-person pedal boat for the lagoon, clothes line, hammocks, friendly iguanas, wildlife, reliable power and hot water. The WiFi was just OK, but we didn’t mind. Helped us unplug. It was a little hard to communicate because neither of our phones had reception. But it didn’t matter, because the local house managers, Lalo and his wife Estella were so accommodating! They were at the house every day. They got a couple extra bikes for the kids, we had them cook for us, they arranged a boat tour, they got some coconuts down for us, and more. Even though we were secluded, we felt well cared for and looked after. If you plan on cooking meals, make sure you provision up in Tulum. Punta Allen has a produce truck that comes twice per week from Tulum. The tiendas in town don’t have much fresh food. The road to Punta Allen was definitely difficult. An SUV is recommended. I shaved almost 60 minutes off the way back because I was driving with more confidence over the bumps. There’s a knack to it. Joel is very responsive and accommodating as well. Would recommend.

Amazing off grid property!
The house in Punta Allen was everything we were looking for in a quiet and off the grid stay, but with amenities as well like water, electric, running water etc... the place was very clean and obviuosly very well taken care of. The owner was super communicative, which was great because this was our first time in this part of Mexico. (Make sure you rent an SUV for the road down. It takes a few hours to get there and the road is full of pot holes and massive ruts... will need a jeep etc...) Lalo the care taker there and his wife were fantastic!! They helped with anything and everything we could have needed ncluding arranging excursions and he even went out and caught lobster for dinner one night (very reasonable pricing), which was delicious!! Loved working through the language barrier with them as they were sooooo friendly! (They do speak a little english fyi... Download Google translate and you'll be fine!) Overall great location, beautiful private beach and super cute town with several tasty restaurants. We would definitely come and stay again!

Wonderful getaway to a magical jungle house on the Caribbean
This was a beautiful house and property with its own beach. We saw turtles swimming through the waves from the private white sand beach. The tide was super mellow and you can walk/ swim out very far. There is a great lagoon in the back where we took the kayaks (provided) in the shallow waters. We saw big fish, some sort of small rays, herons, egrets and crabs. Eduardo helped us get a boat chartered into the ocean and lagoon (request Javier!!!)... where we got to see dolphins, turtles, manta rays, a manatee and so many birds including pink spoonbills. Joel was a great host and Eduardo was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend spending some time in Punta Allen. The road is very bumpy to get there, so give yourself time to slowly cruise along... and bring all the pesos you will need as they only take cash. It will be a vacation you won't forget.
