Mexico offers a range of stunning beach destinations for a villa vacation. Some favorite spots include the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, Punta Mita, Riviera Maya, and Los Cabos.
What makes Casa Ikal in Sian Ka’an Biosphere stand out from other beach villas?
Casa Ikal offers a thing of beauty within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere: its eco-conscious style and simple luxuries. The villa is also surrounded by beautiful beaches that are safe to swim in and a food scene that’s often described as “dynamic.”

What sets Casa Tau in Punta Mita apart from other rental villas?
The area surrounding Casa Tau is known for its amazing surfing waves. And if offering surf-centric rentals wasn’t enough, it also provides renters with privacy they might not find at other resorts — all while delivering resort-like amenities. The town also has a slew of family-friendly hotels and upscale resort complexes.
What activities are available for guests staying at Punta Mita villas?
Surfing isn’t the only thing people can do here. They can also explore the nearby town of Sayulita or swing through the trees on a jungle zip line. Other options include golfing (Punta Mita has two courses), tennis, fishing and hiking.
Why should someone choose Riviera Maya for their next family-friendly retreat?
Riviera Maya promises white-sand beaches with turquoise waters — so it’s already starting off on the right foot. But if that doesn’t do it for you, there’s always scuba diving and snorkeling to try out in the Great Maya Reef. Visitors can also get their fill of Mayan ruins and aquatic theme parks.
