About this property

Private Villa -Panoramic Sea Views- South End

Located on the south end of the island, Casa De Mariposas is one of the most colorful Villas on the Island paradise of Isla Mujeres. Off the main road, it is away from traffic and is perfect for families, retreats or small gatherings. The villa has two main bedrooms with private bathrooms, King size memory foam beds and a double sofa bed in the living room. It sleeps five but is most suitable for groups of four. The main bedrooms are on the ground floor, adjacent to the pool , and the upper floors have two open air dining terraces, spacious living room, guest bathroom, kitchen and very private roof top terrace with a Mayan wood shaded pergola. The villa enjoys wonderful views of sunrise over the Caribbean sea. Great attention to detail has been paid throughout the villa in order to make it a peaceful getaway. The decor is cool and calming and there are original artworks and fine linens to enhance your stay. Its your perfect Island retreat.


The location is somewhat remote, yet you are only minutes from the amenities of Garrafon Park, fine dining at superior restaurants or the luxuries of the Casa De Los Suenos Spa and there is a new restaurant across the street.

Casa De Mariposas is a true tropical getaway that can be all yours to enjoy with those you want to share it with.
Full kitchen with oven and stove, fridge freezer, microwave, coffee machine, blender, toaster, Calfalon cookware and crockery and cutlery for six.

Pool, Air conditioning.

A flat screen television, DVD player, DVD library, WIFI Internet.

Fine linens, all towels provided, weekly maid service (additional on request - additional cost), - soaps, towels and tissue in all bathrooms.

Casa de Mariposas has an English speaking agent on the island to handle any requests.

Within easy reach of Casa de Mariposas are fine snorkeling opportunities, the activities of Garrafon Park, scenic walks to the Mayan ruins and along the Caribbean coast.

There are several scuba dive centres on the island with daily trips to Manchones Reef, the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks and Cross of the Bay.

Bicycles are readily available to rent and are a great way to tour the island. For the less energetic the common form of transport is the golf cart - these are great fun and can be rented for $50 a day.
Area: Casa de Mariposas is located at the scenic south end of Isla Mujeres, a gem of an island in the Caribbean sea just a few miles by ferry from Cancun and the Yucatan mainland.

Originally a sacred site to the worship of the fertility Goddess Ixchel, there are still temple remains close to the villa.

Getting to Isla is easy with a fast ferry to the mainland and various transfer options from Cancun airport.

The beaches of Isla have two different characters. The North and West beaches are shallow with white coral sand and very safe for bathing. The eastern coastline is more rugged with curling Caribbean swells and are ideal for walking and shelling.

Isla is known for it's laid back approach to life. Visitors to the island are independent and individual and making new friends is one of the joys of the island.

Perfect spot
we just spent a week at this csas and it was perfect. This huuse has a great pool and lovely plants an d liunge space, the kitchen has enough items for cooking. Lots of windows with screens let in the vrèeze but keep mosquitoes out. It has comfortable veds and everything was clean. Communication with the manager was easy. We loved the location.. you are two steps from either sea lots of good walkong opportunities. Our neighbours we very quiet an d as a result it was silent at night. No roosters even. The dining patio did get very hot i the afternoon and we thought it might be good to havena little indoor table as well (there's one on the rooftop but usually very windy there). The only warning isnthe music..you are right across from a restaurant that plays live music from12 to 8. However, maybe cause I'm gen x, i loved the music and it was a fun part i loved forward too. Had it veen musicmi didn't like it could have affected my trip. Overall, fantastic stay. Lovemthe family of iguanas that live there!

spectacular sunrises
This was a beautiful property with fabulous rooftop sunrises. It's on a dirt road which means it's super quiet most of the time. The bar across the street has very loud live music 6 days a week. Most days we liked the music so it worked out ok. And it's only from about noon-8pm. The pool area is beautiful and the layout of the house is unique. Plenty of different spaces to hang out. And Alfonso the property manager was amazing. He was available for whatever we needed and even lined up a 5am taxi to get us to the first ferry off the island on our last day of the trip.

We truly enjoyed our stay at colorful Casa Mariposa. The house was clean and comfortable and the pool refreshing and private. Located on the quieter side of the island (south), the house had wonderful rooftop views. We hope to return one day!

Went ok. Not really happy to run out of water on the 2nd day because the tanks were empty. Doors need adjusted or trimmed as they rub and stick so bad when one is opened it wakes up the entire house.

This was our second stay at Casa Mariposas. It is such a perfect house for our family. We love the location away from the bustle of the north end. Pool is the best. And the rooftop has amazing views all around! Very much recommended.

Private oasis
Always a beautiful experience. We love it here as a haven to escape the hustle and bustle of the north side of the island. Maybe just a few suggestions though, for whatever they’re worth. We chose this place again and again for its beauty, privacy, views, private pool, etc. We spend quite a bit of time there eating our meals and relaxing. A few updated items would go a long way. A new coffee maker (not fancy, just new). A better grill to cook outside (propane perhaps). We cooked burgers and chicken and it took a lot to keep the fire lit. And possibly a new microwave. It was hit or miss whether it would warm things up or not. Again, we LOVE this place and definitely plan to return. But being able to cook and eat there is a big reason why we rent a house. Thank you so much for another beautiful vacation!

Fantastic Villa for Family Vacation!
Casa Mariposa was all that we wanted and so much more. For us and our kids to have our own spaces made the vacation that much better. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and kitchen were a welcomed relief during a hot summer in Mexico. The rooftop is divine with the ocean views and breeze. The kitchen is small but still sufficient for us preparing a few meals. Alfonso, the Property Manager, was very receptive and attentive to any and all questions that we had. The private pool was 100% worth it! Rancho Capricio is within walking distance and most definitely has the "best tacos on the island". We also loved the location, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main road and on the complete opposite end of the "toursit" district of the North Beach. Would highly recommend Casa Mariposa!!

Private Paradise
My husband and I have been to Isla a few times in the past and have always chosen to stay on the south side of the island and have never regretted it. This time we stayed at Casa Mariposa and loved every minute of it. The privacy is amazing. We spent lots of time in the pool, up on the roof, and taking impromptu naps in the cool air conditioning. We cooked quite a bit, and when shopping at Chedraui we even made sure to get a bag of spinach leaves for the security iguana (we called him Paco) and his gal pal which I think they appreciated. There are good casual restaurants within walking distance (El Borracho Burro, Rancho Capricha, The Joint) a mini super (for snacks and drinks) and the best rooftop views you could ask for. Alfonso (property manager) came by to check on us and housekeeping, the pool guys, and the lawn guy were all very quiet, quick, and thorough and we barely even knew they were there. The power never went out when we were there and the WiFi connection was great. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more relaxing vacation. Next time, we will have to make it longer than 7 days! Thank you for the amazing opportunity to share your paradise. ❤️🌴

Isla Mejures vacation
Overall an excellent experience. Lots of space and several outdoor sitting areas to choose from. The pool is excellent and very private. The view from the roof is fantastic and the house has everything you need. Alfonso, the property manager, is very helpful and will answer questions within minutes. The only thing, which is very small, was the maintenance crew did come in to clean the pool one morning at 7 AM. They did not bother me but it would have been nice to know before hand. Again, a non issue. definitely a ten out of ten and I highly recommend this property. I would definitely return. Thank you for an excellent vacation!

What a Perfect Vacation
This was our first time staying in Casa Mariposa and we loved it. It was pretty far south down the island but with a golf cart, it still felt very accessible to places. We loved the house - it was comfortable for me and my husband and our two children (8 and 6). The pool was a family favorite! The owner was great at communicating and the house was clean and tidy. Kitchen is small but it functions fine and we ate many meals at home. We loved sitting on the porch to eat our meals and ending our days watching Netflix in the living room with the ac. A previous review had mentioned the bar across the street playing loud music all day. We actually really enjoyed hearing it! It definitely didn't take away from our relaxation. I wish I was still on Isla. Such a great trip!

Much need break
We had a wonderful time at the villa. The location was great for us as we love the south side of the island. It was the easiest check in we have had on island. The villa is just behind El Burrcho Burro which has live music every day, we enjoyed it as we used the pool area every day. The house was spotless, beds were great and someone cleaned the pool several times while we were there. We also got fresh towels. We will be back.

Casa Mariposa is wonderful!
Casa Mariposa was everything we hoped for during our first (but definitely not last!) visit to Isla. Communication with our host Megan was excellent, and she had some great tips for us as first timers. Check in was flawless and the home was immaculate. Property manager Alfonso was also extremely responsive but in no way intrusive. He checked via message to see if we needed anything, informed us when to expect the maid and even got right back to me when there was a power issue after 9pm. It had nothing to do with the home, it was a municipal power problem. Before i could even reach out in the morning, he let me know his maintenance person was on the way. Power was back on before we returned from breakfast. I was very impressed at the level of service and responsiveness shown. The home itself is lovely and filled with art, with so many little areas to sit, inside or out to enjoy the stunning views. You can see both the bay side and the Caribbean side of the ocean! Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen is quite small but very well stocked with everything needed to cook for yourself, plenty of nice pots and pans, dinnerware, utensils, etc. The pool is fantastic, though unheated. Depending on time of year it may be too cold for you, but I thought it was refreshing. It's away from downtown, so you will probably want to rent a golf cart. There is a bar across the street that plays live music from 12-8 daily. We enjoyed it, but if you want silence it may be an issue.

Amazing time!
Property is as described, only better! Location was great and easy to get to. Pool was a bit cool, but that is to expected when there is some rain. But the pool was cleaned a couple of times while we were there, big plus for that. Roof top decks were our favorite for sunrises and sunsets, since you can see both sides of the island from there. Alfonso, the property manager, gets a huge shout out. He is simply amazing, he answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. Great place to stay, we will be looking here again for our next trip to the island.

Fantastic house for a family of 5.
Casa Mariposa is a beautiful and comfortable home on the south side of Isla Mujeres. If you want to get away from the touristy hub of Playa Norte this is the spot for you. Plenty of space for two adults and three kids, 12 and under. The bedrooms and tv room have great ac wall units that kept us cool. The kitchen is a bit tight, but served us great for meals. Awesome roof deck with a stunning view of the Caribbean and slight view of Cancun bay. The pool was fantastic too and our kids spent hours in it every day! Heads up; there is a restaurant/bar across the street that had live music every day all afternoon. The bands were pretty good though and played a lot of classic rock and 80s music. This place closes around 7pm so don’t worry about the party going all night. We will definitely keep Casa Mariposa in mind for our eventual return to Isla Mujeres.

Island Time
My husband and I prefer the quiet south side, and elected to stay in a private home this time. We LOVED the privacy of the pool! As much as we enjoyed visiting El Burracho Burro, the loud music that took away from the peaceful serenity of the south side of the island. That said, the music stops at 8:00, so it isn’t that it keeps you up late at night. Alfonso was over the top responsive to our needs! We forgot to mail a letter before we left the States that was time sensitive. He and his wife took care of getting it to Cancun and sent it home and it was there in two days! The home was beautiful! The beds were so comfortable we thought about trying to pack them to bring them home! Thanks for the wonderful vacation!
