Glass walls, five terraces, and jungle views define Sea Containers, a three-bedroom villa in Playa del Carmen. Relax by the pool, stargaze from hammocks, and sleep comfortably across three floors.
Welcome to Jungla 3 House
Jungla 3 House is a stunning crystal-cubism inspired home nestled in nature, located just 10 minutes from downtown Playa del Carmen and 6 minutes from the beach. Situated in a secure, double-gated community, this property offers a safe and tranquil environment.
The house features a backyard adjacent to the pool and five terraces designed to enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Connect with nature and the sacred Mayan land by watching exotic birds, meditating to the sound of fountains, stargazing from a hammock, or relaxing in the large pool surrounded by trees and wildlife. Unwind in the bathtub while watching the sunset.
The Space
Jungla 3 is part of an exclusive jungle gated residential area in Playa del Carmen, known for its safety with two security gates, 24/7 surveillance, neighborhood cameras, and three security checkpoints.
The architectural design is inspired by sea containers, with each of the three floors shaped as rectangular prisms resembling stacked containers. Approximately 40% of the house consists of tempered glass, creating the sensation of living inside glass boxes. The staircase, called the "Stairs to Heaven," is a tunnel with 20 steps leading to the second floor and another 20 to the third floor, which houses the master bedroom with the best views. The tunnel connects all floors and ends with a large glass window overlooking a beautiful tree.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a gem! The place is even better than the photos—beautiful architecture, tons of natural light, and a gorgeous pool surrounded by lush tropical greenery. It felt peaceful, private, and incredibly relaxing. The host was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would absolutely come back. 🌴✨

Wonderful home nestled amongst the trees and backing on to a pool. Safe gated community with friendly staff. Pilar was wonderful and extremely responsive! If you are looking for something away from the business of playa del Carmen then highly recommend!

Great place for a larger family to stay. We have a big family and want our own space when we travel. This home was huge, massive living/dining room, private bathrooms. It is much larger than the photos. The complex is very quiet and peaceful, we only saw one other family at the pool over the 6 days. The property is gated and has lots of staff, guards and residents walking around, it is very safe. The only downside to the area (not the home) is there is no real local restaurant strip to walk to. We had a rental car and explored around by vehicle so not a deal killer. Uber will deliver right to the door. Happy to be away from PDC/ Cancun hustle. We would come back here to this same house. Pilar was excellent to deal with and the place is like the photos.

My family found Pilar‘s place at the last minute and it was a fantastic find. We feel very lucky to have discovered it. Pillar was a fabulous host who took care of us even when the natural gas ran out. She was very prompt and trying to get it refilled, the Property is very special and unique and we will remember it for a long time. The pool and the trampoline and the park we’re all a fantastic ad for the children. There’s also a nice running trail in the neighborhood and a small duck pond. It was a mini resort that allowed us access to the main city center within about a 15 minute drive we were glad we didn’t stay at a resort and stayed here instead. There’s also a grocery store within a mile. Restaurants are a little bit of a trek, but we were able to manage with some planning. I would recommend this to anyone looking at this property and I think it is differentiated.
