About this property

Simply Akumal's Best! Luxury Beachfront Penthouse w/Infinity Pool, Rooftop...

I own and manage Mammoth Bliss vacation Rentals and would love to have you come to visit this slice of paradise. Akumal is the best of the Riviera Maya, Nahil is the very best of Akumal, and the penthouse at Nahil is the crown jewel of them all!

***THE SPACE***

The views --- the breathtaking views are the heart of Nahil penthouse. The master bedroom, master bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, infinity pool, and swim-up bar are all oceanfront. Situated on the secluded north end of this beautiful bay, Nahil penthouse overlooks the most spectacular stretch of turquoise water surrounded by coral reefs, powder white sands, and palm trees blowing in the breeze. From the bird's eye view of the penthouse you can literally see eagle rays and turtles swimming below, the occasional catamaran cruising by, and pelicans spying on you at eye level.

Decor --- from the moment you walk into Nahil penthouse you are struck with the delicate balance where ocean meets jungle, comfort transforms to beauty, and nature fades into elegance. This residence was custom designed to incorporate nature into a living work of art: showers made from corals, jungle trees sprouting from floor to ceiling, tiles embedded with fossils, and Mayan stones covering entire walls. Fall asleep to the lapping waves and wake up to nothing but Caribbean blue waters.

Bedrooms ---
The oceanfront master bedroom with its custom king size bed has an open layout where the main wall slides into itself, floor-to-ceiling double sliding doors open onto the terraza, and the over sized bathroom and double shower overlook the room and the brilliant turquoise waters below. Mayan stone walls, trees wrapped in strangler vines, corals sprinkled with shells, and natural slabs of wood are the building materials here.

The guest room overlooks the jungle treetops with a hanging king size bed made of natural trees and an en-suite bathroom laid-en with corals and shells.

The rooftop palapa loft can be configured for one queen, two queens, one twin, or two twins for the kids or more adventurous travelers.

The two queen sized and two twin inflatable mattresses are also available for use in the living room and guest room (or dining room if you prefer).

Kitchen --- the kitchen is equipped with a six-burner gas stove, over-sized fridge with french doors and ice-maker, over sized dish sink with a separate vegetable washing sink, granite counter tops, breakfast bar, garbage disposal, washer/dryer, and drinkable water from the faucet and fridge.

Living room --- the living room has a large sectional sofa with chaise lounge, 46" flat screen with true surround sound, multi-media center preloaded with Netflix, Spotify, You Tube, docking station for your own music, and multi room audio and ceiling speakers in all rooms. The space is surrounded by mayan stone walls with original art, jungle vines, and polished flooring which spills out onto the vast terraza. Every evening the automated mood lighting comes to life as the sun fades away.

Private Rooftop Palapa ---
This is the most amazing space in the home. a 900 square foot private rooftop deck with dining seating, hammocks, lounge furniture, chaise lounge chairs, loft, sink, and bathroom. The views from up here are very special and it's the best place in Akumal to watch the sunsets!

***THE COMPLEX***

Pool & palapa --- a 15 meter infinity pool with jacuzzi-style seating, palm tree island, and sunken chaise lounges comprise some of the highlights. A spacious adjacent palapa is a great place to hide from the midday sun or enjoy a leisurely lunch.


***THE LOCATION***

Nahil is the only new condo complex in Akumal and is situated on an idyllic stretch of beach on Half Moon Bay. There are few tourists walking by since it sits at the end of the bay, but is still within walking distance to the best that half moon bay and Akumal have to offer. It's a 10 minute stroll down the sand to the best beach bar in the area, La Buena Vida. A short 5 minute stroll in either direction gets you to beachfront dining at La Lunita or Italian cuisine at the jungle setting of Que Onda. A mile by bicycle or car down the private road gets you back into the village of Akumal, along with its fabulous shops and restaurants (Lol-Ha, Turtle Bay, La Taverna, and Cueva de Pescador).

Akumal Bay is famous for its docile turtles that you can swim with all year round. Half Moon Bay is a world away from this bustling area with its privacy and beauty. Nahil is situated in front of the most beautiful part of the bay with the clearest water and liveliest reef. Other parts of the bay don't enjoy such amazing views, beauty, and access to the reef. Nahil's north end location allows the northerly winds to drive any flotsam or sargasso to the southerly end of the bay, thus keeping this stretch of beach and water immaculate.

An absolute "must-do" is to take a 5 minutes walk to the famous Yalku lagoon. This pristine lagoon is where cenotes and their fresh water meet the Caribbean sea, clashing in a unique setting of lush jungles and emerald waters. Wake up early for sunrise or wait until the main entrance closes and have the entire lagoon to yourself.

Akumal is 75 minutes south of Cancun, 30 minutes south of Playa Del Carmen, and 20 minutes north of Tulum. These cities have fantastic amenities but are not the romanticized secluded vacation spots as they are overpopulated with tourists, shops, and restaurants. If you want a "big" night out, these cities are only a short drive or taxi ride away from your hidden sanctuary.

Picture Perfect
This condo is amazing. I would stay here again without question. From the spacious showers to the blackout blinds to the patio to the well appointed kitchen to the extraordinarily comfortable beds, this place has it all. The on-site management and daily cleaning service are extraordinarily helpful. Above all, the views from Nahil condos are unmatched in Akumal. It's perfect Several restaurants and the public beach are just a short walk down a quaint streetscape. It makes for a perfect after dinner stroll back to the condo. Very safe and friendly environment. Owner was very responsive and her guidebook and helpful tips were spot-on. Thank you!

Wonderful
This was a wonderful place for 2 couples to stay. Location was great! Walked to wonderful restaurants/bars. We rented a car in Cancun but only used it once! Michaela was prompt in replying to questions. She’s wonderful. And the staff was equally as helpful. Highly recommend going with JP to visit a cenote. The rooftop is amazing. The only thing I didn’t realize from the description is the access to it is not from inside the condo. Love that the 1/2 bath is up there! Enjoyed the hammock! When we return to Akumal we will hope to stay here again.

We loved Akumal and Nahil
My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Nahil! We stayed for 8 days. The location is perfect. My kids loved the pool. The water was beautiful and my family had a great time paddle boarding and snorkeling right off the beach. The seaweed was a problem on the surrounding properties but the management did a great job of keeping our beach clear. The smell of the seaweed was a problem while walking through town but we didn’t notice it while on the property. The condo was beautiful and very clean. The 6 of us did fit ( 4 adults and two teens) however there were only two bedrooms so it wasn’t ideal for those who were sleeping on the air mattress in the living room. They felt as though they didn’t have enough privacy and weren't very comfortable on the inflatable mattress. We knew this going in but we were under the impression the pent house only had access from our unit which wasn’t the case so no one really felt comfortable sleeping up there, plus it was just too hot to sleep up there. That being said, we didn’t see anyone else come up during the day while we were using it. The only other thing I would mention is that the elevator doesn’t work and it was a bit cumbersome dragging our heavy luggage up and down the 4 flights of stairs during arrival and check out. My aunt also hurt her hip and had a hard time getting up and down the stairs multiple times a day during our stay. It was a beautiful view and worth it but not good for those with mobility issues or certain health conditions. The town was very nice and we enjoyed shopping and eating at the restaurants. It was also a great location for visiting the cenotes and other attractions such as Xcaret and xelha which were a highlight of our trip. We would recommend this place to family and friends and would definitely stay here again.

Great for the area, but maybe other areas are better. . .
Limitations on when you could use and what settings you could put your air conditioner to. Elevators did not work. Penthouse is on the 4th floor making it difficult. Coast was experiencing a serious problem with the accumulation of seaweed. Management did a good job of keeping our limited beach area clear, however smell was always a problem due to this inversion regardless of where you were at.

This hidden GEM gets a 10 Star rating!!
My husband and I visit Mexico annually for 1-2 months, this was our first time staying in Akumal. The area is very quaint and everything we hoped in authentic Mexico. Our accommodations were unique and exceeded our expectations in so many ways. From the custom handmade master bedroom natural wood furniture, Conch faucet fixtures, hand selected coral embedded shower tiles, magical floating Guest bed, the only rooftop in the building, a sunrise view on one side plus a jungle view on the other... I could go on and on.... This place felt like a home. It is obvious Michaela decorated her home with passion and family in mind. We can’t wait to go back and most definitely will!! Thanks Michaela for a wonderful experience and for your professionalism through your trip.

Amazing oceanfront Getaway!
What a great Getaway! Even though this was a last minute rental, Michaela was very prompt at communications and everything went smoothly when we arrived. The pictures don’t do the condo justice. The views are amazing from every room and the rooftop palapa was a stunning bonus. The condo also had a well stocked kitchen, spices,etc. Upon our arrival the beers and beverages waiting for us were a nice touch. It was such a treat to wake up every morning, make coffee and watch the sun rise on the ocean. The daily maid service to do dishes and to tidy up was great too! It is also located in one of the best locations being so close to Yal Ku and great restaurants. They were an easy bike ride or a short walk. Being ocean front also let us enjoy snorkeling and beach strolling often. This allowed us to have a new adventure each day. We loved our stay! We hope to come back in the near future!

5 Star Beach Front Vacation
This was a perfect vacation. As impressive as the pictures are, in reality it is even better. We spent every night with the glass doors open sleeping to the sound of the Bay. We watched sunrise from the terrace and sunset from the private roof. The snorkeling was top notch. The communication and recommendations from our host were spot on. The sound system throughout the condo and extra touches like the LEDs were also great, This was exactly what my son and I wanted. I highly recommend and will be back.

Amazing property and views!
From the moment we walked in we were amazed! We continued to be amazed when we found out there is a private rooftop patio! Everything was very clean and absolutely breathtaking. They had snorkeling gear for us to use and WE DID, it was great! Even private bikes.. which came in handy!! We saw all kinds of fish and turtles! Two small things we had issues with were the balcony railing was very unstable and if two people leaned hard on it could fall to a certain death. Also the oven and stove top pilot lights were out, which was unfortunate bc we had some awesome food we wanted to cook. Those are both easy fixes. Overall we had an absolute INCREDIBLE honeymoon here. It was a last minute decision to extend our stay after our wedding and found this incredible place last minute! We are just so happy and lucky it was available for us. We will never forget our time here. Thank you!

Beautiful Condo!!!
We are just wrapping up an eight night stay at this gorgeous condo. The condo is so warm and beautifully decorated... we are sad to be leaving. The VRBO pictures are accurate and maybe don’t even truly capture the stunning views from almost every room. The only thing that was a bit surprising to us is that the terrace isn’t actually connected to the condo... you need to out of the condo, up a flight of stairs to the roof, and it’s located on the roof. We had some rain and didn’t get to use the terrace as much as we’d hoped, but it would definitely be a great place to hang out and watch the sunset. Upon our arrival and for a few days following, we had issues with the hot water heater (saw this mentioned in some previous posts as well). We were so impressed with the owner’s responsiveness and concern, as well as the efforts the staff made to correct the problem. They ended up replacing the entire water heater twice - a second time after the first replacement didn’t do the trick for some reason. So if you’re concerned about hot water issues from previous post(s) - rest assured the problem has been solved! The owner was also very gracious and gave us a partial refund for the days we were inconvenienced. Highlights of the trip were catamaran sale through the dive shop, a private tour of Rancho Santa Cruz cenotes here in Akumal, for our kids - renting a golf cart and driving it around town, and snorkeling right outside of the condo. The tips the owner provided were hugely helpful. All in all, great experience!!

Best Vacation we’ve had in YEARS!!!
I just want to say how wonderful our vacation at Nahil Penthouse in Akumal was! This condo was even more beautiful than the pictures and was sitting on the most beautiful beach!!! We had NO SEAWEED at our beach, like some of the other properties nearby. The daily maid service was terrific, the town of Akumal was outstanding and the people were the friendliest I’ve met!! It was so safe!!! The food was absolutely amazing, at all the restaurants Michaela recommended. Snorkeling just in front of our condo was some of the best we have done!!! I cannot recommend this place enough. We had a party of 6, 4 adults and 2 teens and it was plenty of space! We will be back!

Best property from Cancun to Tulum
We absolutely loved our stay! Michaela was extremely responsive to my (many) questions before our trip and offered very helpful advice and information. The unit itself is spectacular. There is no better view than what you get from this property. Being able to have beautiful views of the bay from the bed (I woke up to the sunrise each day), the bathroom, the living area and the kitchen made it feel like every minute of the day was spent in paradise. The location is perfect. Half moon bay is one of the few remaining places in the world with snorkeling right off the beach in a quiet setting. Lots of variety of coral, and tons of fish. We saw turtles, rays, an eel, a baracuda, and schools of 50-100 fish that would allow us to swim alongside them. The bay is shallow, so it never felt unsafe, even fairly far out (which is where the most coral and fish are). We were amazed that we usually had the entire bay almost to ourselves (maybe that is different other times of year?). Even though it was August there was a breeze all the time that kept it reasonably cool, plus we spent all our time in the pool or bay. On one side of the bay is Yal-ku lagoon (tip - bring the life jackets that are in the unit otherwise you have to pay to rent them) with great snorkeling, and on the other side is Akumal Bay where you can swim with turtles and rays. Close by are beautiful cenotes (we loved Garden of Eden which is only 10 min drive), Dos Ojos (we went early and literally had it to ourselves for an hour), and Gran Cenote. The ruins at Coba are fantastic. If you have mobility issues (as I did), you can pay $9 to have someone pedal you around the ruins and act as a guide. Or you can rent bikes for a few dollars. Well worth the trip. We have been to that area 4 times, and Akumal is definitely our favorite place. No high rises on the Half Moon Bay keeps it feeling much more peaceful than other resort areas. And La Buena Vida is just down the road. Perfect for kids there are tree houses, hammocks, a pool, and all the tables are right on the edge of the bay. The only downside to this paradise is the sea grass that washes up and lines the shores. The beach in front of this condo never had much at all, which made it much nicer getting in to the ocean. We loved our stay here so much we can't wait to go back!

This was our second time staying at this condo. We loved it so much the first time we came back 2 years later! We have been to Mexico hundreds of times to vacation and this is by far the best place we’ve ever stayed. Michaela is very responsive and is very knowledgeable about Akumal. This condo was very clean, the views are just amazing, oh and the rooftop palapa... no words can even explain! We rented a car from the airport, stopped at the grocery store in Playa del Carmen and then never used the car again during our stay because we rented golf carts. We were so sad to leave Akumal and this condo as it felt like paradise staying here! We will be back!

Amazing family vacation
We just returned from a family vacation at this condo in akumal. It was an amazing place! The owners are very nice and attentive to renters assuring their stay meets all your expectations! And believe me it did! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. We were a family of 6 and we had the absolute best time. We rented a golf cart for the week and it was great. This is the first time out of all the places we have rented that is literally a beach area where cars are cautious of golf carts and pedestrians. There is very little car traffic and it’s very safe. Our 16 yr old son drove the golf cart the most and it was just laid back traveling around. They drove golf cart to the lagoon and to akumal bay to swim with sea turtles. They saw at least 10 turtles and a big sting ray the day they went to akumal bay with golf cart (3 min drive from condo). They loved the lagoon they got to see all the bright tropical fish. We loved the pool and swimming right off our condo beach. They saw lots of fish and one sea turtle right of our beach. We wanted a private chef for half of our stay and the owners recommended chef Daveed! That was amazing too! I highly recommend them. Great food and lets you feel the culture! The details the owners have put into this condo makes it one of a kind. With unique touches you rarely see when renting places. They have a lot of thought and love put into this zen like home. My thoughts when first renting this place was the teenagers will want to sleep outside on the roof in the palapa. My husband kept saying “no we are.” And so we did. I wasn’t to sure before doing it ... but it was the absolute best thing! We would sit there and hear the waves all night, the sea breeze kept us perfect in the summer heat and the moonlight made it majestic! I can’t say enough great things about this place and the owners! It was a great relaxing vacay! Thank you for sharing your home with us! We want to come again!!

The condo is beautiful and very comfortable. The view from the balcony is just phenomenal. The little perks, like daily cleaning and Keurig style coffee made us feel even fancier.

Wonderful, well-managed luxury
Our first time in the area and we had a wonderful stay. The condo is designed and decorated well, and stocked with the right utensils and appliances. We did have internet problems and water heater problems, but the onsite staff was quick with repairs. 2-3 mbps is what you get in Mexico, not great. The swing bed in the second room is interesting, if you're not going to use it for intimate endeavors. Nice to have bike access, because the town is a bit far of a walk, if it's hot. Michaela was a pleasure to work with. I wish all VRBO rentals were run this well.

Amazing location, incredible condo&fantastic owner
The condo was everything we could have hoped for and more!! Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The location was absolutely perfect, some of the best snorkeling in all of Akumal is right outside your door!! We had a little trouble with the bathroom and bedroom lights the first night we arrived and Michaela was immediately responsive and called maintenance. The maintenance gentlemen were extremely kind and did not quit until everything was in working order. The full size kitchen was wonderful for cooking about half of our meals and Akumal had amazing selections for the other portion ;) The rooftop retreat was a perfect way to wind down after a busy day. The bikes were also very useful and we biked to Akumal everyday. Could not have been happier with our stay!!

Great Condo and Loved Alkumal!!
Condo was beautifully decorated, super clean, and the owner & management company really cared about our experience and were great to work with! The information Michaela provided about Akumal was very helpful - we stayed very busy for the 4-5 days we were there and the restaurant suggestions were spot-on. (While Yal Ku Lagoon, La Lunita & La Bueno Vita were within walking distance and there are 2 bikes available, I am glad we rented golf carts for other Alkumal experiences. The mgt company set up the rentals for us and we thought the cost was reasonable.)

Amazing condo on the beach
My husband and I stayed at this condo for a week with my 17 year old niece and had a wonderful time. It was beautiful, clean, and a convenient walk down to a few great restaurants and a lagoon for snorkeling. It was a bit longer than most people would want to walk to central akumal but they had bikes and transportation is easy in the area. That was part of the appeal for us to not be surrounded by tons of other tourists. We used the local dive shop just a short jaunt down the beach and they were terrific. There is a great beach bar that we ate at almost every day after diving and all is within easy walking distance. The condo was an artistic luxury in an area that had a low key, laid back atmosphere that you could easily do day trips to many places from. We felt very safe in the area and the condo also had security. We also got to see baby turtles head off into the ocean! It was not a great time of year for that but we lucked out and were informed by one of the amazing staff that the last nest on the beach was hatching and he brought us to it. We had a terrific trip and would highly recommend staying here.

My husband and I manage our four homes and rental properties as our full-time job through Mammoth Bliss Vacation Rentals. That means that you have access to our help, knowledge base, expertise, and anything you may need 24/7. We both have all the apps loaded on our phones and laptops, so we will respond to any questions you may have immediately. A hotel has hundreds of other guests vying for the services, beauty, resources, and "exclusivity" of the property. A typical VRBO listing is just the home and no guidance, tips, networking, suggestions, etc. My husband and I provide the best of both worlds giving you amazing support, exclusivity, relaxation, and privacy.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in Akumal for over 11 years and know every nook and cranny of each bay. We decided 11 years ago that we wanted to live somewhere tropical and then traveled all through the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico looking for the "perfect beach". Akumal and Half Moon Bay is what we decided on! This is the best section of the perfect bay. It has the best snorkeling reef in front which generates the clearest and most turquoise views in all of the Riviera Maya.
