One-of-a-Kind Akumal Villa – Eclectic Design, Pool & Private Lagoon Access

Casa del Sol, an Akumal Landmark and one of our favorite houses!

Casa del Sol is well known for its great location, right at the headwaters of Yal-Ku Lagoon, very private, and for its funky eclectic decor. Previously owned by the band The Grateful Dead, this house is perfect for large groups or families, and has hosted some big name celebrities in its time.

The outdoor kitchen and living area on the lagoon side of the property are great for entertaining and family get-togethers. Access to the lagoon is very easy, just down the garden path and across your own private bridge into the cool clear water of Yal-Ku where you can snorkel with the fish all day long. There is also a fabulous roof patio, where you can sit surrounded by the lagoon and the jungle.

Casa del Sol is well known for the many unique murals painted throughout the house that highlight the area's Maya History and Natural Beauty. This house is truly one of a kind and lends itself very well to people just "hanging out" together and having a great time! Merily, Obideo and Leo the caretakers, do an excellent job. They are very charming and will take excellent care of you. Obideo is also available to prepare meals for an additional fee, which we highly recommend you try.

Casa del Sol offers many amenities including a swimming pool and a lagoon side palapa with plenty of hammocks and lounge chairs for snoozing away the afternoon. It also has a waterfall with its own tiny dipping pool on the lagoon side of the property. The refreshing waterfall is a wonderful place to give yourself a water massage after a swim in the lagoon, and it's also great for kids to play in the dipping pool when the waterfall is switched off. There's an outdoor shower for rinsing off after snorkeling.

One room has 2 queen beds, the other has 1 king bed and 1 sofa bed which can be set up upon request. Each bedroom has a private bathroom and air conditioning.
