Casa Gaia

Part of the curated Villa Experience collection, Casa Gaia introduces an intimate, design-forward stay on Tulum’s white sand beach. Conceived as a sensual, open-plan hideaway, this studio-style retreat is crafted for guests who value simplicity, natural materials, and a close connection to their surroundings. The atmosphere is relaxed yet considered, with every element oriented toward an easy, barefoot rhythm of life by the shore.

Set directly on the sand and nestled into natural greenery, the home feels both sheltered and open. The surrounding vegetation provides a sense of privacy, while the architecture invites in the light and air of the coast. An authentic palapa roof and exposed post-and-beam structure root the space in its tropical context, creating a calm, organic backdrop to the day.

With approximately 650 square feet of interior space, Casa Gaia is generous for a studio yet remains comfortably scaled for one or two guests. High ceilings and curved walls enhance the loft-like feel, while the open layout keeps everything within easy reach. The bed is positioned at the heart of the home, with living, dining, and kitchen areas arranged around it for a fluid, uncomplicated stay.

The living area flows toward a wall of glass doors that fully open, extending the interior out to an intimate patio framed by greenery. Inside, a compact kitchen with small fridge, gas stovetop, and sink supports unhurried meals at the table for two or relaxed moments in the cushioned seating area. A private washroom with shower completes the essentials, while a shade palapa and loungers on the sand invite long hours outdoors, accompanied by the sound of the sea.

Within the Villa Experience portfolio, this beachside studio reflects a preference for thoughtful simplicity over excess. Casa Gaia is selected for travelers who appreciate well-resolved spaces, tactile materials, and a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. Supported by Villa Experience’s attentive approach to curation and service, it offers a quiet, considered base for enjoying the natural beauty of Tulum.
