Villa Gran Tortuga

Part of the Villa Experience curated collection, Villa Gran Tortuga is a secluded beachfront retreat on Playa del Secreto in the Mayan Riviera. Conceived as a private sanctuary, it balances refined comfort with an intimate connection to its tropical surroundings. The mood is tranquil and unhurried, ideal for guests seeking a discreet escape where days unfold to the rhythm of the sea and the natural environment takes center stage.

The villa’s setting on Playa del Secreto, or “Secret Beach,” places it within a carefully preserved residential enclave dedicated to maintaining an exclusive and immaculate coastline. White sand, turquoise water and lush jungle lagoon create a striking natural backdrop, with a sense of being tucked away from the everyday. The atmosphere is one of quiet seclusion, where the focus is on privacy, nature and the gentle cadence of a low-key beach community.

Designed as a generous private estate, this luxury villa in the Mayan Riviera accommodates up to ten guests in five bedrooms, with spaces that are thoughtfully arranged for both togetherness and retreat. Several suites incorporate sitting areas and kitchenettes, allowing for added independence and comfort. Throughout, the architecture and interiors reflect a concept that blends modern amenities with organic touches, including handcrafted elements that echo the surrounding landscape.

Life at the villa naturally orients toward the shoreline, with indoor living and dining areas opening directly onto the pool deck for an easy flow between interior and exterior spaces. The contoured swimming pool and outdoor Jacuzzi sit just above the sand, creating a relaxed setting for long, languid days by the water, complemented by sun loungers, parasols and sea kayaks. Indoors, a home entertainment system, office and workout room support unhurried work, leisure and wellness, all framed by views of the Caribbean Sea and the nearby jungle lagoon.

Within the Villa Experience portfolio, this property embodies the brand’s focus on privacy, setting and a quietly elevated style of stay. Housekeeping is included, ensuring a seamless experience where practical details are discreetly managed in the background. For guests who value a carefully maintained environment and a strong sense of place, this is a home that feels considered and complete, with the natural beauty of Playa del Secreto as its defining element.
