Villa Fortuna is a palatial waterfront villa on the white sand beach of Half Moon Bay, Casa Fortuna is ideally located in front of a flourishing coral reef that offers some of the best snorkeling in Akumal. Having fallen in love with Akumal, the owners have taken great care to make Villa Fortuna a sustainable eco friendly property so that they can help preserve this beautiful piece of paradise.

Designed in 2014 by one of Mexico’s top architects, Casa Fortuna offers 7000 square feet of modern living space with open, airy views of the pristine beach and azure sea. Custom-built furnishings, commissioned art, a large gourmet kitchen, high-end speakers and an ample beachfront pool make this villa a stunning, stand-out property. Best of all, the villa boasts 6 spacious ocean facing bedrooms, each with a private balcony and full marble bath. All bedrooms are also equipped with a 43” flat screen TV/DVD. All areas of the villa are air conditioned.

Two handsome mahogany dining tables seat up to 18 people each; offering plenty of dining capacity both indoors and out on the patio.

From the spacious roof terrace, guests at Casa Fortuna can soak in the 360° views of the sparkling Caribbean Sea to the east and the lush Mayan Jungle to the west. They can also enjoy a night of quiet stargazing through a 5- inch aperture Celestron telescope. For those who prefer partying under the stars, the terrace also has comfortable furnishings, a built-in bar, and a bathroom.

The patio offers a gas grill, seating areas in both sun and shade, a dining table for 16 and a poolside palapa with a hammock. The tiled beachfront pool is large enough for swimming laps and includes built-in benches for relaxing afternoons in the water. The swimming pool can also be heated for an extra cost.

Kayak, Paddleboard and snorkeling gear are available to enjoy the reef which is home to a diverse range of marine life including tropical fishes, rays, and endangered sea turtles. In the late summer months, these turtles nest all along Half Moon Bay. In fact, Akumal is a Mayan word meaning “Place of the Turtle” and many guests at Casa Fortuna have been lucky enough to see a huge mother turtle heave up onto the beach to lay her eggs or have watched by moonlight as hundreds of baby turtles erupted from their nest and scrambled back to the sea.

Casa Fortuna is conveniently located within easy walking distance of several excellent shops, restaurants and bars. Six bikes are available for safe, easy access to all the attractions in Akumal, including lagoons, nature centers, spas, dive centers and other local amenities. Akumal is a laid back eco-village and is the perfect base to explore Mayan ruins, cenotes, adventure parks, and the bustling towns of Playa del Carmen and Tulum.

Extra-person charges apply over the base occupancy of 10 guests.

Great location - away from the chaos of Cancun but not so far as to be hard to reach. Close to Tulum and lots of cenetos (Aktun Chen was the highlight of our trip - don't miss it) and other cool stuff. Akumel downtown is an easy walk and has groceries, etc. Plenty of nice restaurants within a short walk. Great house - perfect for our large family - lots of big rooms and also spacious living area downstairs for us to all congregate. The rooftop deck is a wonderful bonus. Chef Daveed service was very professional and delicious - we used them for dinners and fended for ourselves for other meals. Staff was very attentive and quickly dealt with the occasional minor glitch to internet or whatever. Pool, kayaks, snorkel gear all excellent. Highly recommend!

The pictures do not do it justice
We had the most incredible time at Villa Fortuna! The house is stunning, the view is fabulous and the location is perfect! We felt so safe, free to explore, and it was amazing to have this house (instead of a resort) so the kids could go relax at their will, play like crazy in the pool, and having the beach to ourselves was so special. We will definitely be back! I would recommend renting a car, as transportation via taxi/Uber was much more expensive than we expected. The restaurants that are within walking distance were fantastic! We use Chef David services and it was one of the highlights of the trip! The Cenote tours and Mayan ruins tour were so memorable - highly recommend. The house is cleaned every day (except Sunday) by Ruth and Carlos ~ they are the sweetest couple and they did such a great job keeping us organized/clean. The house is well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen (lots of dishes/wine glasses, etc. This was one of the best vacations we have every had. We totally fell in love with Akumal ~ I’m glad we needed up in Akumal instead of Tulum bc it was slower paced, very chill and quaint. Thank you again for such a phenomenal vacation!

Great house
Great property, beautiful house, excellent pool and friendly helpful staff. Very safe. The barbecue and the stove/ oven are in bad shape, as well as the frying pans. Nice restaurants very close by as well as a little store.

Wonderful Casa Fortuna
We had a great stay at Casa Fortuna. Our group was 4 adults, 2 toddlers and 2 babies, and the property was perfect. Easy beach and pool access was great for the kids. The pool was big enough for lap swimming. The grassy area was wonderful for the kids to play on. And the rooms/house had everything we needed for a vacation home. The location is close to a cute coffee shop, 3-4 great restaurants, and an awesome cenote. We also used the recommended chef services for a few special meals, which were amazing.

Pleased beyond expectations
The pictures of the inside don't do it justice. I was impressed to see the beauty of the property. Everything was as expected and more. I was really happy I picked this location because of the walkability of the area and how quiet and calm the neighborhood is. The staff prior to arrival were always responsive which added to the enjoyment I experience upon arriving. I had ordered groceries prior to arrival which was a relief to help us get settled. I had reserved a golf cart the day of arrival, but I had the ability to do so prior, which I would recommend if you need one. I also ordered food service with Chef Luis Martinez and Erendira which was extremely delicious and wish I could've ordered more of their services. Accessing the amenities of the property was extremely easy and when there were issues like the power being shut off. I was able to get in touch with the staff and with Carlos help get it back on within a few hours. The housekeeper was cleaning the house ever day and she did a great job considering how large the place is and how many people stayed with us. Overall I am really happy with the entire experience and Akumal will have a special place in my heart. The whole reason for our stay was having our commitment ceremony in a nearby cenote. And we were able to enjoy the beach, food, animals, Yalku-Lagoon, and beautiful culture and people.

Beautiful, private beachside
This entire experience was a success. The house was spectacular: amenities too many to list. Housekeeping excellent, bikes and water gear great to have in place, and the town a fun place to explore. Activities were very close, but we had the most fun hanging by the beautiful pool. Highly recommend.

Simply Wonderful!
This was just a perfect place for the family to get together for a birthday and holiday celebrations. The villa is beautiful, every bedroom was spacious and offered a beautiful view of the sea and the sunrise in the morning . The open living/ dining area allowed kids of different ages to have different activities at the same time (i.e. teenage phone time and younger kids playing board games). Having the beach right in front meant that we could jump in the water at any time for a swim or snorkel...huge plus for our group. Ruth and Carlos kept the villa spotless. Another big plus was being able to walk to numerous restaurants close by. So...great villa, great location...looking forward to a return

Best Home on the Beach!
We spent a week in October 2021 at this absolutely lovely home. Its very large, and the 6 master suites left everyone with a lot of privacy and comfort. The kids spent the entire week in the pool and the snorkeling was divine right out the back door. Its nice to see some brain corals and fan corals coming back. Be sure to use Reef Safe sunscreen if you get in the ocean, or better yet, wear no chemicals, just a sun shirt to protect the bay and corals. The house was just perfect. We hired a personal chef to come 2 nights and they cooked a feast that we will never forget. The caretakers Carlos and Ruth were there each day. They were so kind and helpful at every opportunity. Please plan to tip them well. They now have a paypal account to make that easier. We will be back to this house for sure!!
