About this property

The only and most charming luxury beachfront cottage on the Riviera Maya

A charming and comfortable beachfront cottage, located at Jade Bay in Akumal, Riviera Maya, Mexico. The cottage is privately located in the beautiful tropical garden of a private gated property. Its terrace is only 15 yards from the beach and a 10 minute beach walk from Akumal Village. A choice of cozy restaurants will satisfy your appetite. Akumal, 'the place of the turtles', is located between Playa del Carmen with its European flavoured vivid night life and Tulum with its historical Maya ruins. Carpark, private gate, and much more. To find out more visit our website, see link in 'Further Details' below.

Beautiful Beachfront Cottage: Usually, beach front villas along the Riviera Maya are big and not meant for a couple or small family to stay, they have usually 5+ bedrooms. The weekly rates are high and not affordable unless you shop around to fill the beds. Our Cottage offers you the Caribbean beachfront joy, the privacy of your own secluded tropical garden and beachfront. An affordable alternative in paradise!

How to Get There: Conveniently located close to the highway 307 from Cancun to Tulum, exit Las Villas Akumal, km 253. Isla Escape can be reached by public transportation with a transfer to the Paradas Continuas or a taxi at Playa del Carmen. All major car rental companies are present at Cancun airport. Car rental is also available at Akumal. Detailed routing will be provided with your booking confirmation through our website.

Where to Go, What to Do: This holiday destination offers a great variety of cultural, historical and leisure activities. If you don`t like 'activities' you may simply lay back and relax on the terrace or the beach with a good book and the ever lasting sound of the ocean. For an extensive tour and information of the area, please visit our website.

A wonderful stay!

Four of us -- myself, a friend from California, and my brother and sister-in-law -- had a most wonderful time staying at Kim and Jacob's fantastic cottage right on the beach at Akumal. We felt extremely well-looked after -- Edgar and Karen made sure everything was spick and span every day, and, being without a car, we were very grateful that Edgar could pick up groceries and take us to the ATM when necessary. We also had Edgar cook for us a few nights, which was super, and Kim's gifts of food and drink were highly appreciated! It's a really beautiful place -- extremely private, with its own little lagoon in front, but easy to walk to the softer sands to the left of the property to get deeper into the water for a good swim when you wish. And then you can walk 3 minutes to the right to Jungle Fish for dinner when you fancy a change (we enjoyed dancing to the lively cover band one night!). Very very tranquil -- we read, did yoga, played Scrabble, drank wine and talked -- and never stopped marvelling at the beauty of the location: thank you so much for everything, Kim and Jacob!

Adorable place!

Such a beautiful piece of heaven. We really enjoyed every second of our stay at Isla Escape. The owner Jacob lives next door and he was always there if we needed him. Wonderful man living the good life with his dogs and a cat:) Will return to this place in a heartbeat. Really nice house, lovely garden and view. The caretakers superb! Thank you from your visitors from Oslo/Norway🙏🏼❤️

A fantastic beach cottage that more than lived up to expectations.

Isla Escape is everything it promised and more. We spent 4 days there and hardly left the cottage. It's right on the beach, with a perfect view of the sea. We swam with turtles, went kayaking and snorkelling. Sitting on the veranda with a sea breeze was the perfect place to while away the time catching up with family who had travelled in from different locations. We even took the dog! Ismael and Margarita who are the managers were so helpful. Would love to stay there again.

A Little Slice of Heaven

This villa is simply perfect! We arrived weary and left refreshed! It was our first visit to Mexico and we hope to return. The villa is right on the beach but raised up a few steps, providing added privacy. From the thatched porch you can spend hours just gazing at the beautiful sea view. The bedrooms are air-conditioned. It feels like a friend's property rather than a holiday rental. There are books and kayaks to borrow and a charming housekeeper who will come and cook for you. She made us a delicious Mayan meal. The villa is well-placed: under an hour from Cancun, 20 minutes from the ruins at Tulum and very close to lots of amazing white beaches. We hired a car and enjoyed exploring. The owners are charming. They live next door and were able to make suggestions for restaurants and local amenities. We saw giant turtles and snorkeled every day. What a find!
