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

***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, etc. 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.

The condo was absolutely beautiful. The view was amazing. We came right after the hurricane and would barely notice with hardworking staff working on the property constantly. The area is a perfect beach town with a close breakfast place “jungle cafe” and a very friendly restaurant essentially across the street, and a corner market type place maybe 1/4 of the mile down the road. Other more fancy restaurants were also within walking distance. The coral reef… amazing. Friendly and reassuring owner who I am sure I drove nuts with all of my questions. The pictures don’t do the place justice, it was beautiful. 25 minute drive from either Tulum or Playa Del Carmen, walking distance to cenote, you can’t go wrong location wise. Lots of little things that make a big difference… coffee pot with coffee, welcoming drinks, the decorations gorgeous, the snorkeling equipment saved us money in rentals. Only complaints was that we had eight people, the place really should t be allowed to accommodate eight. Although there are two blow up beds there is only room for one inside and the other would have to be outside on the roof without access to us, big protection, or locks (or air conditioner). So we had four people camped out on our he couches. I thought the loft has inside access but was wrong.

BEAUTIFUL and RELAXING - Exactly what we were looking for!

We were looking for a change from the typical hustle and bustle of those large mega resorts. Akumal and Nahil #8 were exactly what we needed. The atmosphere of the area is very relaxed and super friendly. Plenty of things to do and places to explore. The condo exceeded our expectations. Simply breathtaking! And Mica was very responsive throughout the reservation and pre-arrival process, even providing us with lots of local information to help us plan our stay. Unfortunately Tropical Storm Cindy tried her best to derail our fun, but with no success. Though we never saw the sun during our stay, we still had lots of fun and plan to come back again soon. And when we do, rest assured we will be booking again at Nahil #8.

Perfect penthouse for a family vacation

This property is absolutely beautiful inside and out, including an amazing rooftop. My family and I just returned from our trip to Akumal and I already miss it. It is a gorgeous little town with lots of things to do. The penthouse is beautiful with a breathtaking view.We enjoyed snorkeling just outside the condo and the kids really enjoyed the pool. Everything is kept extremely clean. The management company is right next door and are there for any of your needs. Adrian is great and can easily get you setup with a golf cart if you need one, I would recommend renting one. The owners were in touch with us from the beginning and had tons of cool recommendations of things to do in Akumal and it's surroundings. Thank you Michaela!!!

Almost perfect.

Highlights: Amazing view, great staff, gated community, felt very safe. The house keeper does an amazing job and the grounds keepers are very nice and helpful. We loved having breakfast almost daily at the nearby “La Jungla” which is just a short walk away. We also loved having casual dinners and drinks right on the beach at the nearby “La Buena Vida”. This place was almost perfect. Here are some things to note if you’re considering staying here: 1. If you rent a car during your stay, there is parking on site, but not enough parking to accommodate everyone if the building is fully booked. Towards the end of our stay we had to double park at night. 2. The touchpad on the safe did not work during our stay. However the groundskeeper lent us the backup key so that we could store our valuables while we were out. 3. Towards the end of our stay a someone came(unannounced) to work on the AC unit. We left to grab lunch and when we returned, we found ourselves locked out of our place Since guests use the keypad to enter, we had no key to the deadbolt. We had to wait over an hour for them to come unlock the door. After their visit, the thermostat would reset itself to 78 degrees on its own within minutes of us turning it down. We would have to get up several times a night to turn it down to a comfortable temp.

wonderful stay in Akumal!

It was our first trip to Akumal and we will be back. The condo was wonderful and has it's own private beach in front with some of the best snorkeling in Akumal. The condo is brand new, has a full kitchen and nice features throughout. You wake up to a spectacular view. I couldn't figure out at first why there were eye masks on the nightstands and by the 2nd night I figured out that you leave the curtains open and then when you wake up and take off your eye mask you wake up to a spectacular view of the water. Michaela was very helpful and gives you a good guide on where to eat, shop, snorkel, etc. which was nice to have. She also helped me get an item that I left in the condo back to me which was great. Fun time and just way too short of a visit!

LOVED IT!

The condo was in a great location and immaculate. We would definitely book this condo again and will recommend it to friends. The only thing that I would caution people about is that it sleeps 4 people in beds but there is a blow up mattress that could have been used instead of the couch. The deck where the loft is located does not have access from inside the unit so you must walk outside and use the public stairwell to get to it which means that the rest of the units have access to it (there is a sign that says that only #8 may use it but its still open). Given the outside access and high winds/occasional rain it would be tough to sleep up there- a nap, yes, sleep all night, no. WITH THAT SAID, our family nights out on that deck with drinks and appetizers were among our best nights there. It had an amazing view and had comfortable seating. We used a golf cart all week to get around Akumal Bay but many people had bikes too. Akumal Bay has an easy village-like feel and the condo was one of the nicest condos there. Thank you, Mikaela!

Perfect getaway with husband and baby

I have to be honest, at first I thought this place was going to be too good to be true. When we arrived, it was not only perfect, but also true! The condo was beautiful, clean, functional, and luxurious. It had everything we needed and more! The view was indescribable... you really have to see it to believe it. Endless turquoise ocean sprawled out in front of you... when you wake up, shower, brush your teeth. When we arrived we were exhausted and cranky from 14 hours of travel. The staff at Nahil condos helped us with our things up to our room. We opened the fridge to put away some groceries we got, and there were ice cold beers and sodas from Michaela in the fridge waiting for us. It was just what we needed! A high chair and port o crib was there waiting for our 8 month old... perfect! We rented a golf cart one day next door (40 bucks a day... kinda pricy, but worth it if you are going back and forth into town a few times). The bikes and paddle boards were a nice touch too, although we didn't get to use them because of baby. We took turns snorkeling a bit outside the condo- beautiful! The condo provided some snorkeling equipment too. Our favorite food recommendations were Turtle Bay Bakery (delicious ice cream and breakfasts... as well as fun happy hour atmosphere!) and Buena Vida (super fun/realizing beach bar... we went there twice!) We also loved the condo's proximity to the Yal Ku lagoon! Overall, a perfect vacation and we would stay here again and again. Highly recommend!

LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!

The very moment we walked into this penthouse we were excited! We thought we were dreaming. seriously!,, I felt like home immediately. The decor was awesome. My boyfriend and I both LOVE the beach/ocean. and to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the ocean was exhilarating! You can see the ocean from anywhere in the penthouse, with the exception of front bedroom that faces the jungle, but even that view gives you a nice calm. OK back to the ocean view ..if you are in the kitchen, you can see the ocean, when taking a shower in the master bedroom, you can see the ocean (by the way...the shower is a beautiful huge area with 2 shower heads, so my man and I took candle-lit showers together - electric candles provided by the owner). Most nights we turn off the AC and open the sliding doors and we had the best sleep. I am very picky when it comes to a clean environment, and this place wss kept sparkling clean. The staff that cleaned the penthouse did an awesome job. They did not speak great English, but we still managed to communicate. Now let me tell you about the roof.....OMG it is the best! There is a sitting area with comfortable couches and a hamock. Closer to the railing there are 2 lounge chairs where we hung out everynight with a glass of something(LOL) to watch the sunset. We love, love being on the roof. And BTW, the area I describe on the roof is only for this penthouse...so very private. I have traveled to numerous places and this is one of my places and I plan to rent again. Akumal itself is a wonderful quiet town... our favorite resturant is the Turtke Bay Bakery and Cafe hands down!!! We eat there pretty much everyday...so much to chose from their menu. Last but definitely not the lease...the owner, Michaela Vargas is awesome...just like her rental She was very informative, flexible and answered all my questions. I will definitely rent this place again. Thanks Michaela

Beautiful condo, but no sandy beach & not toddler friendly

We booked this condo for May 13-19th, 2017. We were bringing our 2 1/2 year old toddler. This condo is beautiful and good for adults and older children over 10. I specifically asked the owner if it had a sandy beach that my toddler could dig and play in the sand. I said this was important. I was told that there was a beautiful sandy beach. This is not the case at all. I was aware that there were rocks at the entrance to the beach but the pictures make it look like there is nice white sand. In fact, you cannot even walk on the little bit of coral white rock that looks like it is sand. It cuts your feet and there is hardly any on the beach. I would not even call it a beach. Also, I could not tell from the pictures that the master bed was so high off the ground. The bed must be 4 feet off the ground. There are big wooden step stools to get in the bed, even for adults. It scared my toddler because she could not get in and out of the bed. She woke up the first night an hour in because the AC does not cool well. She was hot. We were in the living room and saw on the camera that she was awake and we ran into the room and caught her head as she fell off the bed and nearly bashed into the glass wall separating the room from the living room. The master bedroom is very small. If you want to put a pack n play in the room, you could not. We are ok with her sleeping with us though. We could not use the guest bedroom because the AC did not work in that room. It was over 80 our first night. Adrian was very nice, in the management company, but he could not fix it and said we had to wait until tomorrow. That is not acceptable. No hotel would make us stay in an 80 degree room. We received no refund for that one night of the AC not working. Apparently, the AC freezes a lot because it is not big enough and that is why the owners give instructions to turn it off all the time. Well, that does not work when we need to use the room a lot for napping and such. The AC needs to be on and constant all day. We have never had trouble with AC's at any of the resorts we have ever stayed in. The WifI also goes in and out which keeps Netflix from working, big problem for toddlers because there is no TV service. We had to leave the next morning. Our toddler could not handle the space. She has autism. We checked into a resort and our daughter had a great time. In all, this place is great if you are adults and don't want a beach but want to snorkel. We do love Akumal.

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.

Great Place to Stay

The condo is beautiful. We had a great stay there. anytime I had a question the owner answered very quickly. One of the best experience I have rented a house. Akumal area is a great location. I would go back again. Thanks for the lovely time.

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.

About the host

Host profile image
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.
