Luxury Retreat in the Heart of Downtown with an Infinity Pool right on the Ocean

We are following all COVID-19 cleaning regulations, and would love to have you back and stay with us again. We dropped our pricing for the end of the year - join us for a well deserved vacation. We all need it after this crazy year!!

WELCOME TO VILLA AMISTAD. Inspired and inviting, Villa Amistad embodies comfort, style and total relaxation in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. Leave your worries behind and enjoy a sun-kissed holiday where overlooking the endless Mexican Caribbean is a way of life.

This contemporary Mexican retreat nestled in the bustling town of Isla Mujeres, Mexico is framed against the majestic turquoise Caribbean ocean on one side, and only steps away from the island's shopping, dining and exploring on the other. Turquoise water. Endless Ocean Breezes. Warm, soft sand. Picturesque sunrises. Villa Amistad provides a spectacular setting for your next island escape.

Villa Amistad was professionally designed and built by architect Ivonne Gamio. The Villa was inspired by the designs of Barragon and Legoretta to provide comfort, luxury, privacy and lifelong memories. Situated on the Caribbean side of Isla Mujeres, guests will enjoy the rolling waves of the sea and the steady flow of ocean air. The villa was designed with graded, step-down floors, providing the feeling of walking out into the ocean.

A full time staff provides daily maid service (except Sundays), as well as pool, gardening and security services. Guests are greeted upon arrival by an English-speaking host to provide an introduction to the facilities and answer questions concerning your stay.

Although Villa Amistad has everything you would want in a vacation home, you may want to enjoy other things that the island of Isla Mujeres has to offer. You can swim with dolphins, go sailing, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, or snorkeling. For an off-island excursion you can explore Mayan ruins, swim in cenotes and enjoy shopping in Cancun.

Whether you choose to explore the beautiful island of Isla Mujeres, or enjoy the comforts of the villa, everything you could ever want in a vacation home is provided at Villa Amistad.

Beautiful Home with a Great View

We had a large group of friends staying for a week and couldn't be happier with the house. It was extremely clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. The pool is one of the nicest on the north side of Isla. The owners were there when we stayed and treated everyone extremely well. The next time that we return we will definitely rent Villa Amistad again.

Amazing time!

From the very beginning, the house took our breath away! The ocean views were amazing! The location of the house was perfect as we were close to the north side; but not that close so we did have quite nights and that was important to us as we had 3 kids under 5. We walked pretty much everywhere so the location was great. The house itself was well maintained, clean, very well organized and very spacious. The cleaning lady was super nice and came every day with such a great attitude/energy. We stayed in some days as the weather wasn't the best during our stay (super windy and cold); but we made the best of it. The owner came to introduce himself and offer any help/advice if needed. He was very nice! Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house was packed with all we needed to make breakfast every morning, had beach towels, and even sand toys for the kids! We would definitely rent it again.

Perfect Girls Trip

Went on a girls trip to Isla and stayed at this fantastic villa! The villa is beautiful with plenty of room for everyone. Great views of the ocean with a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the water. Close to town so walking distance to tons of restaurants. The house manager was great and quickly responded to any request. Gordon, the host, could not have been better. So nice and friendly and tons of help with referrals, hot spots, booking adventures, etc. We will definitely book here again! LOVED IT!

Lucky to have picked Villa Amistad!

8 friends which included 3 recently retired teachers thoroughly enjoyed our 1 week stay Jan 15-22! Check in and communication with Stacy was seamless thanks to WhatsApp. Although the 2 back bedrooms are small, the generous common spaces allowed plenty of room to relax. The pool was on the cool side for the first day or 2 but great in the afternoon after a day exploring or snorkeling. We were obvious to the no toilet paper down the toilet on the entire Island so that took some getting used to:( In summary the Villa Amistads proximity to Playa Norte, Centro, Ferry Dock, downtown and on the malecon adjacent to the blue Caribbean was perfect!

Fantastic stay at Villa Amistad

There was a total of five of us that stayed and it was great. Before arriving communication with owner and property manager was above expectations. Received an in-depth email describing transportation to island, location of property and list of restaurants. It is a short walk from the ferry, so if you wish to walk, very accessible. Property was as described and was great for us. Fantastic view of ocean and enjoyed the sound of waves coming into shoreline. Property is well maintained and has as a great vibe. Walking distance to beaches, restaurants and bars. We rented a golf cart one day and easy parking in front of Villa. If we had it to do over, we would have spent maybe one night in Cancun and spent the rest of our time at Villa Amistad on Isla Mujeres.

Viva Mexico!!

We were surprised and delighted to find out that we booked our stay during Mexico Independence Day. We were treated to fireworks on the roof top of Villa Amistad. The villa is so beautiful and comfortable. I haven’t slept this well in a long time. It was refreshing to be on the windward side of the island. We used the pool everyday. We had everything we needed and wanted for nothing. They even had much the needed aloe in the fridge. We will definitely come back. This will go down in history as one of my very best vacations.

Isla Paradise at Villa Amistad

We have been traveling to Isla Mujeres for over 10 years and have stayed in several of properties over the years. Villa Amistead was the pinnacle of all those experiences. We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier about the location-walking distance to town and several delicious restaurants. Beautiful views from every level of the house-I loved watching the sunrise each morning while drinking my coffee. Our children loved the pool and swam in it daily during our stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts are superb! Great communication and very helpful when needed. Everything was as advertised and we can’t wait to stay here again.

Great condo

Great condo. My family of 10 rented both sides of this condo for our vacation this year. The condo is exactly like it is listed. Having a washer and dryer was very handy. The daily housekeeping was an added bonus. The air conditioning units in each room cool down each room very fast. We spent tons of time in the pool which has an amazing view of the ocean. The location is close to downtown. The house is nice and quiet and feels very safe. Check-in was a breeze in communication with the owner was amazing. The house is very clean and my bed was very comfortable. We all enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!

We really enjoyed staying in Villa Amistad. The views from all floors out to the Caribbean were gorgeous. It was a great central location with nice walkability to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The shared pool was a nice amenity. We really enjoyed hanging out on the rooftop palapa, both day and night. Plenty of room for 2 families. Stacy, the property manager was very responsive to any communications both before our stay or when a few minor issues arose. She was also accommodating with groceries and gave us great recommendations. Gordon, the owner greeted us at the front door and even had a cold shot of tequila waiting for us. We will definitely stay there again.

Great stay - listings details are spot on

Villa Amistad was the perfect spot for our two families. Great location that was easy walking distance to the downtown. We rented two carts for the week and travelled all over the island. We really enjoyed eating at restaurants on the south end of the island. Favorite bar was the Tiny Gecko which was a four minute walk down the Oceanside path accessed from the backyard. Ownership and management provided excellent communications and were just a text away if we needed anything. We wouldn’t hesitate the stay at Villa Amistad again.

Spacious Villa with a perfect location!

6 adults stayed in the villa. The location was perfect! It was easy to get around and just a few blocks from North Beach. Many restaurants and tons of shopping within walking distance. The pool was too cold to swim in during our time on the island but it would have been perfect during a warmer time of year. The house was very clean and our daily housekeeper Katia did a phenomenal job every single day. We were a little disappointed that there was no cable service even though we were under the impression that there was service before arriving. Lastly, as several couples traveling together we also would have liked to have a tv in each room to watch at night after we went to bed. The villa owners are super nice and very helpful. I had to reach out to them during our stay and they went above and beyond to help us with our issue (which was unrelated to our rental). Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Top notch!!

If you’ve ever been to Isla you know that it isn’t always the cleanest. This house is BEAUTIFUL and on such a good area of the island! All of our favorite things to do are on the North side so this house was perfectly located. The property manager was always a text away and made sure that our stay was great. We met the owner while we were there and he was very friendly and welcoming. The house is clean and very nice. When the locals asked us where we were staying and we told them, their jaws dropped and said very nice. The house cools quickly. The freezer tequila and beer ready for us was a great touch. We will definitely be back!

25th anniversary trip

We stayed at Villa Amistad for a week in June, my husband and I, with three of our adult children who each brought one guest. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom, the beds were very comfortable and everything was well equipped. We loved having a kitchen and dining room we cooked breakfast a couple days and cooed the fish we caught when we went fishing Monday. The pool in the backyard is wonderful to refresh, there are six beach loungers out in the back if I recall correctly plus some chairs and a table up on the patio area. Have any ability to open the sliding doors all the way for it to seem like a seamless transition into the outside was wonderful. The upstairs rooftop patio area was well used and well loved. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to friends and family, and I would stay here again with a large group. We only rented the south villa, which has four bedrooms and four baths but I think you can also rent the North Villa which has three bedrooms and three baths. The location cannot be beat, there are steps down to the Malecon, you are less than six minute walk to Hildago Street, less than 10 minute walk to Playa Norte, and about a seven minute walk to the ferry terminal. Thank you for helping to make our anniversary trip wonderful!
