Beside the white sands of Playa Xcalacoco, south of Cancun, the 30 private villas of Ikal del Mar, or “poetry of the sea”, nestle harmoniously in the jungle. No motorised vehicles or uninvited guests are permitted on the property making this secluded refuge even more private and exclusive. Each villa has its own plunge pool, outdoor shower, terrace with king-size hammock and large bedroom with high palapa ceilings. The two-storey Presidential Villa has its own dining room and a large pool.
Coffee, tea and pastries are delivered to your villa each morning as a pre-cursor to breakfast, which is then available either by room service or in the open-sided restaurant, Azul, overlooking the Caribbean Sea. ‘Mexi-terranean’ cuisine is the order of the day when it comes to romantic dining at Azul. Light lunches and barbecue parties are held at the poolside Grill where the small number of guests creates a fun and informal atmosphere. Bar Azul, looking out across the Caribbean Sea towards Cozumel, is a wonderful place to meet for pre-dinner cocktails or for a light snack from the bistro menu.
When not lazing in the beachfront pool and Jacuzzi, be pampered in the tropical spa which offers its guests a holistic treatment experience as well as a steam room, Jacuzzi and Swiss showers. Alternatively, experience a traditional Mayan Temazcal steam treatment on the seashore where tai chi and yoga lessons can take away the stresses of the day before it has even begun. |
