Villa Alux

The Space

Villa Alux is a luxury villa located within Villa Balam, a gated community with 24-hour security, nestled in the jungle on the outskirts of Tulum. The villa spans 320 square meters (3,600 square feet) across three floors and offers four bedrooms and six bathrooms.

The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen, dining room, guest bathroom, and living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining and living areas open directly onto the main pool. The space benefits from high ceilings over 3.6 meters (12 feet), creating a bright and airy atmosphere.

The dining room includes a parota wood table that seats 12 guests. The living room is divided into two zones: one with a large sofa and a 75-inch TV equipped with Netflix, perfect for relaxing and watching shows; the other area is designed for socializing, ideal for drinks or playing board games such as Monopoly, Jenga, and Risk.

There is one bedroom on the ground floor and three spacious bedrooms on the second floor. All bedrooms have centralized air conditioning, ceiling fans, built-in wardrobes with safes, and en-suite bathrooms stocked with shampoo, shower gel, conditioner dispensers, and hair dryers. The second floor also houses an office equipped with a keyboard, monitor, and printer.

Additional Information

The area surrounding the villa has unpaved roads, which adds to the jungle experience but requires cautious driving, especially during the rainy season when potholes may appear.

The best way to explore is by renting a car, available from Cancun airport or Tulum. Alternatively, shuttle service to and from the airport can be arranged, along with taxi rides to Tulum center (approximately $3 to $5 USD) or to beaches and cenotes with a trusted driver.

Additional services available upon request include bicycle rentals, private chefs, and massage therapists.

Please note that an extra charge of $30 per person per night applies for guests beyond six. When booking, include the total number of guests so that Airbnb can apply this surcharge automatically.

Security and Connectivity

Two outdoor security cameras are active during guest stays—one monitoring the front porch and the other overseeing the garden.

Villa Alux offers reliable high-speed WiFi at 50 Mbps, which is significantly faster than the average Tulum speed of less than 10 Mbps. However, occasional interruptions may occur due to the remote location and possible power outages. A WiFi speed comparison is available in the photo section.
