Tulum, Mexico
Casa Canterena

Beautiful beachfront location, personal service and sustainably powered
Set on a peaceful lagoon in the beautiful Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, close to the town of Tulum, Casa Cantarena offers guilt free luxury, running on solar and wind power.
Contemporary Mayan-influenced castaway architecture give the villa a warm atmosphere that stays in touch with the surroundings.
Each of the four bedrooms, three rooms with king beds and one room with two double beds, have en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. The villa’s tall thatched roof hides bright, airy living spaces. The main room, which runs parallel to the pool and beach, features high ceilings with exposed thatch and opens to the deck via a series of fold-away doors.
A real highlight of a stay here comes in the form of a truly personalised service, with a team of staff including a manager, cook and butler there to make your stay go perfectly.
When not out exploring, spend your days relaxing on the deck’s lounge area, relaxing by in the chlorine-free pool or exploring the lagoon with the kayaks and snorkelling equipment provided. In the evenings, an projection system brings your favourite movies to a huge screen, and Wi-Fi keeps you connected.
