The Top Luxury Villas for Large Groups in Riviera Maya

Four haciendas on Fatima Bay, Puerto Aventuras

Hacienda Magica

On the beach, with a full-size tennis court and a gym. Fully staffed, with a cook for every meal.

Hacienda del Mar

Puerto Aventuras · 15 bedrooms · 33 guests

The largest of the four, with a beachfront pool. Fully staffed, with a chef for every meal.

Hacienda Jaguar

Puerto Aventuras · 12 bedrooms · 30 guests

Twelve suites, a chef for every meal and a mixologist at the outdoor bar.

Hacienda Corazon

Puerto Aventuras · 10 bedrooms · 27 guests

A courtyard open to the sea, a garden with its own cenote and a 40-foot pool.

Each hacienda can also be booked with fewer suites. Together the four have 51 suites, for more than 100 guests.

Few places on the Caribbean coast of Mexico can put 30 people in one house on the sand. The Riviera Maya can, in more than one way: a row of haciendas built for groups on Fatima Bay, a twelve-bedroom compound on Soliman Bay near Tulum, and beach houses in Playacar and Cancun. These are nine of our houses for large groups, with what each one includes.

The haciendas of Fatima Bay, Puerto Aventuras

Four haciendas stand together on the beach of Fatima Bay, in Puerto Aventuras, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Each can be rented on its own, and with fewer suites when the group is smaller; together they have 51 suites for more than 100 guests, which makes them a rare choice on this coast for a wedding, a reunion of several families or a company retreat.

For events, Hacienda Jaguar sets out the scale: up to 60 guests at one hacienda, 80 to 100 with two, and up to 150 with three or more. Events need the owner’s approval, and we confirm what is allowed in writing before you book.

Hacienda Magica: 14 bedrooms, up to 36 guests

Set on the beach of Fatima Bay, Hacienda Magica has 14 suites, four on the ground floor and ten above, three of them with ocean-view balconies. It is the sporting one of the four, with a full-size tennis court, a gym, a beachside putting green and kayaks. It is fully staffed: a cook prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner, with groceries charged separately, a maid comes Monday to Saturday, and a villa manager is on call.

Hacienda del Mar: 15 bedrooms, up to 33 guests

The largest of the four, Hacienda del Mar opens straight onto the sand of Fatima Bay, with a large beachfront pool, shaded dining areas and daybeds in sun and shade. It is fully staffed: a chef cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner, groceries aside, with a butler, two maids and a villa manager from Monday to Saturday. It can also be booked with fewer suites, for a smaller group.

Hacienda Jaguar: 12 bedrooms, up to 30 guests

Hacienda Jaguar has twelve suites with their own bathrooms, a poolside area with an outdoor bar and a covered terrace, and the palm-lined beach beyond. A chef cooks three meals a day, groceries aside, with a butler, daily housekeeping and laundry service, and a mixologist looks after the cocktails. Like its neighbors, it can be booked from four suites.

Hacienda Corazon: 10 bedrooms, up to 27 guests

The House of Hearts is entered through a heart-shaped tropical garden with its own cenote. Hacienda Corazon is built around a central courtyard with a view of the sea, with an oceanfront covered terrace for dinners outside, a 40-foot pool facing the water, kayaks, a billiard table and table tennis. Two maids and a butler are on hand every day, and a chef’s meal plan can be added for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Beyond Puerto Aventuras: Tulum, Playacar and Cancun
