Water front on Yalku Lagoon  Villa Gauguin Akumal - Villas for Rent in Akumal, Q,Roo, Mexico

Villa Gauguin exceeded every expectation! We stayed with 9 adults and 2 toddlers, and the house was perfect for our group. It was stunning, spacious, and beautifully maintained, with a fully stocked kitchen, BBQ, and plenty of room for everyone. The lagoon views were breathtaking, and we loved the easy access to snorkeling, kayaks, and the paddleboard. The pool, sandy area, and excellent A/C made it perfect for all ages. The home was so beautiful we barely wanted to leave. Alberto and Cynthia were exceptional, taking care of every need and making us feel completely at home. We’ve traveled all over the world, and this is the nicest vacation home we’ve ever stayed in. Even people walking the lagoon stopped to tell us it was the best house in the area! The grocery delivery and airport transportation coordinated by Akumal Villas were affordable, seamless, and made traveling with a large group effortless. We can’t wait to come back!

Frank, thank you so much for your feedback, we are so pleased you had a great time at villa Gauguin, it was a pleasure assisting you.  We will be happy to host you any other time.

We had an unforgettable stay at the villa. All the staff are extremely nice and helpful. One of the most beautiful places we've visited! We will be back!

Nous avons passé un séjour inoubliable à la villa. Tous le personnel est extrêmement gentil et serviable. Un des plus bels endroits que nous avons visités! Nous reviendrons!

Thank you Eva, it was a pleasure to host you and your family. Hope you can come back another time! The Akumal Villas team

Seriously, look no further, this place is fantastic! We've just come off a six-night stay with two families for moms' 60th birthdays. Parents and our six adult children loved everything about this house and location. Beautiful, comfy, clean, spacious. Everything we needed/wanted was in Akumal, either walking distance or just a short drive away, and simply spending time at the house by the pool/ocean was amazing. Off the rocks to the left into the lagoon was beautiful snorkeling. Walking: great restaurants, the best authentic gift shop, massage place. A walk or a run for exercise was great, too. Alberto and Cynthia were delightful, helpful, kept the house clean and tidy day-to-day, what a treat. We even hired them to cook one night, best shrimp tacos ever, at a fraction of the cost of advertised chefs. Property manager Rhett was super helpful and friendly, stopped by and gave us tips on restaurants, things to do and be wary of. Two thumbs up from all of us!

Thank you for your wonderful review Karen! Hope to see you in sunny Akumal again soon. The Akumal Villas team

Spectacular stay at Villa Gauguin. We had an amazing time and felt so well taken care of. Chefs Adriana and Rodrigo were fabulous—highly recommend. Alberto and Cynthia took great care of us as well. Incredible place to spend a peaceful and luxurious week!

Francie, thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to hear you had a great time.  We will be happy to host you any other time.

Villa Gaughin was amazing.  The views were spectacular, the bedrooms lovely, the pool area wonderful for lounging and reading.  Alberto and Cynthia attended to our every need (and made exceptional breakfasts!) and management was also very responsive and helpful.  We were only 5 people so the house felt huge.  Very comfortably could have accommodated more.  The house was kept spotless, the kitchen is clean and attractive.  Beds were comfortable.  And again, the views -- from every room.  The house is striking and tastefully designed.   We hope to return!

Thank you Lisa, we enjoyed having you stay. Hope you come back again soon. The Akumal Villas Team

This place is great! Alberto and Cynthia are the best!

Thank you for staying with us again. Hope to see you on your next visit!

Villa Gauguin is fabulous! Our family of ten (ranging in age from 19-88) had a wonderful time. Cinthia and Alberto are just super - thank you!

Thank you for your feedback, Robin. We will be happy to host you any other time!

This place is a GEM. Especially if you love to swim. We swam right off the rocks and over to the left to the lagoon and cenote every day. We rented bikes and rode to "town". The house itself is gorgeous and worked really well for our group of 12. Plenty of room to spread out, but also really nice gathering spaces. The management company is extremely warm, helpful, and responsive. The on-site caretakers handled everything, and we HIGHLY recommend getting the additional chef's package! What a treat! I want to leave a terrible review so that no one else discovers it...hahah. But seriously, it was a flawless experience.

Beth, we are so happy to read your feedback, thank you so much! We will be happy to assist you any other time! have a great 2025!

The Villa was absolutely beautiful. I went on holiday with my family, it was a total of 14 of us and we all had a lovely time, Cynthia and E were absolutely helpful, friendly and caring. I will definitely be staying again.

Eduardo, thank you for your nice feedback, we will be happy to host you again!

Loved the location! The house was very spacious and it felt very peaceful and relaxing.

Thank you, Israel, we are glad to hear you loved the villa.

Roberto and Cynthia were absolutely AMAZING. I would definitely visit again and again.

Thank you for your feedback, we will be happy to host you any other time.

The villa was exceptional. We thought we were in Hollywood! However, we have already rented a lot of property, to say that this one was exceptional! It is located in a bay which makes the water all the quieter and also the snorkeling in front is beautiful. Our hosts were very responsive and very attentive. We used their service to cook one night and it was great! Villa was very well maintained and clean, rooms very large. We had everything we needed! We used the online racing service offered by the Villa to have what we needed on the day of arrival and it was great. Located 30 minutes from Tulum, idem from Playa Del Carmen, large surface level races idem, so it's a very nice location. Within the village of Akumal some very nice restaurants to discover too! In short, it was a perfect stay with 8 people: children and grandparents including, we'll be back with pleasure!

La villa était exceptionnelle. On se serait cru à Hollywood ! Nous avons pourtant déjà loué énormément de biens, autant dire que celui-ci était exceptionnel ! Il se situe dans une baie ce qui rend l’eau d’autant plus calme et aussi le snorkeling devant est magnifique. Nos hôtes ont été très réactifs et très attentionnés. Nous avons utilisé leur service pour cuisiner un soir et c’était super ! La villa était très bien entretenue et propre, les chambres très grandes. Nous avions tout ce qu’il nous fallait! Nous avons utilisé le service de course en ligne proposé par la Villa pour avoir ce qu’il nous fallait le jour de l’arrivée et c’était très bien. Situé à 30 minutes de Tulum, idem de Playa Del Carmen, grande surface niveau courses idem, c’est donc une très belle localisation. Au sein du village d’Akumal quelques restos très sympas également à découvrir ! Bref, c’était un séjour parfait avec 8 personnes : des enfants et des grands-parents y compris, nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

Thank you Genevieve, you were fantastic guests.

Had an incredible stay, incredible home, my family was so comfortable.  Housekeepers Alberto and Cynthia were lovely and did cook a few delicious and reasonable meals for us!

Marc, thank you for staying at villa Gauguin, we will be happy to host you again.

Incredible vacation ! It was perfect for the 8 of us. Alberto and Cynthia were always there if we needed anything and were so very attentive and nice. It did help that one of us spoke Spanish so communicating was never a problem. We also didn’t rent a car so having access to a golf cart was very helpful when we wanted to go to a store further away and didn’t want to walk, however there are fabulous restaurants within walking distance.  The house was immaculate and had everything thing we needed ! The fresh guacamole and salsa waiting for us when we arrived was a nice surprise ! The location is very convenient to many excursions and most will come and pick you up right at the house. When I say we didn’t want to leave I’m not kidding , we will definitely be coming back as this is now one of our favorite destinations!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!!

Lisa, thank you for your nice words.  We are pleased you had a great time, we will be happy to host you again!

We had such a wonderful time at Villa Gauguin. We were welcomed by the amazing Alberto and Cinthia even though are travel had been delayed quite late. The view is incredible and continually takes your breath away. The house had everything we needed and Rhett was helpful checking in on us. You can walk to restaurants and the amazing snorkeling experience at the lagoon. Everything you could enjoy is right outside the door. We could not recommend this place enough.

We had an amazing time at the Gauguin Villa. Rhett and his team were amazing to work with! We had a slight issue with the baby crib, so we bought a new pack and play. When Rhett heard about it he quickly repaid us for the pack in play we bought. The pool heater was also not working so we were treated for in villa massages by Rhett, 6 massages for our group!! One of the best property managers we’ve ever dealt with. Plus the on site caregivers Alberto and Cinthia were great as well. From the amazing breakfasts they prepared for us to keeping the villa perfectly clean for us. Definitely one of our best Airbnb stays. We’ll be back!!

beautiful home, alberto was super helpful and made the stay very welcoming

The location is just incredible if you are a lover of snorkelling with 100s of fish in your backyard. The house is staffed by Alberto and Cynthia that also did a fabulous job with Alberto cooking us some local caught Marlin, which was delicious as well as Tacos de arracherra, shrimp cocktails and fresh guacamole. Akumal beach, itself is very small with a few restaurants so if it is a peaceful vacation you are looking for this is a great spot. We stayed with 11 and had ample space. As a group we would highly recommend the villa for location, tranquility and helpfulness of the staff.

We had an excellent vacation Villa Gaughin. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling in the Yalku lagoon. Sunsets and views from the pool and terrace were breathtaking. The house in general in excellent condition. Its location was very good, for visiting archaeological areas and various cenotes.

Pasamos unas vacaciones excelentes Villa Gaughin. Los niños disfrutaron mucho de hacer snorkel en la laguna Yalku. Los atardeceres y las vistas desde la alberca y terraza fueron impresionantes. La casa en general en excelentes condiciones. Su ubicación fue muy buena, para hacer visitas a zonas arqueológicas y diversos cenotes.

Absolutely breathtaking house! The views are simply amazing!

The home was perfect. Everything as expected. You won’t find a better uninstructed view anywhere.

The house is spectacular, with a great view and very spacious spaces. The pool is the perfect size. The location within Akumal is perfect. The description of the house and its service is as advertised.
