Villa la Golondrina

The Space

Villa La Golondrina is a beautifully crafted Mexican beach villa that blends traditional design with modern architectural elements. The villa features sun-baked Saltillo floors, glossy Mexican tiles, a colorful kitchen, and garden-inspired bathrooms. Created with care by the owner and her architect, the design draws inspiration from classic Mexican haciendas.

The villa includes four spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Each bedroom has remote-controlled air conditioning units, while common areas are cooled by fans and open French doors that invite refreshing Caribbean breezes. The villa’s high ceilings, elegant brickwork, and original Mexican artwork add to its charm.

French doors in all four bedrooms open to a lush, private garden with a full-size swimming pool surrounded by tropical plants and tall palms, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

A favorite gathering spot is the breezy rooftop terrace, accessible via interior or exterior stairs. Guests can sunbathe during the day or enjoy cocktails in the evening while taking in ocean views.

Location

The villa is located on a quiet cul-de-sac with no street traffic, offering a private PlayaCar address. It is just steps away from a white-sand beach and a 10-minute walk to La Quinta pedestrian thoroughfare (5th Avenue), where you will find numerous restaurants and shops.

Additional Information

• Air Conditioning: The villa does not have central air conditioning, which is common in Playa del Carmen. The bedrooms are equipped with individual AC units, while common areas rely on fans and open doors for cooling. Guests planning to visit in late July or August should consider that summer temperatures can be quite hot. Summer rates are discounted accordingly.

• Housekeeping: Cleaning is provided twice weekly during a one-week stay. Additional cleanings can be arranged for an extra fee.

• Beach Toys and Snorkels: While beach toys and snorkels are not typically provided, some guests occasionally leave items behind.

• Seaweed Notice: Due to climate change and changing ocean currents, the Riviera Maya may experience naturally occurring seaweed during the warmer months. The local neighborhood association arranges daily beach cleaning. Prospective guests can request recent beach photos before their arrival.
