Designer Penthouse Paradise

Secluded Paradise in the Heart of Playa

Perfect for families, this penthouse combines immersion in nature with designer furnishings and upscale amenities. Enjoy a spacious, beautifully appointed living room, a fully equipped kitchen, a private rooftop terrace with a Jacuzzi, two pools, a well-equipped gym, and attractive common areas.

The property is located in a gated resort complex within Playacar, one of the safest areas in Playa del Carmen, with 24-hour security. The beach and Fifth Avenue are only minutes away.

The Space

This penthouse is located in the luxury Vaiven Del Mar development, designed by renowned architect Rodrigo de la Pena as a high-end residential community in Playa del Carmen.

The residence includes:

• Three bedrooms
• Three full bathrooms, which are uncommon in Playa del Carmen apartments
• A spacious rooftop solarium with a private Jacuzzi
• Access to a heated pool
• Beautiful common areas surrounded by nature
• A fully equipped kitchen
• High-end fixtures and appliances
• A washer and dryer

Vaiven Del Mar offers a secluded setting where the outside world feels far away, while remaining only a five-minute taxi ride from Fifth Avenue and the exclusive Playacar Beach. In our opinion, Playacar Beach is more beautiful and less crowded than the beach in the center of town.

Guests also have access to the development’s business center, gym, private solarium, and 24-hour security.

Private Amenities

• Heated pool, especially useful from November through April when afternoons can be cool and water temperatures drop

Many of the trees in the common areas are original jungle trees that the developers preserved by designing the development around them.

Additional Services

Maid service costs approximately $25 per day, depending on the current exchange rate. The service includes:

• Thorough cleaning of the apartment
• Washing and changing bed linens and towels
• Washing dishes
• Laundry upon request

We can arrange maid service; simply let us know when you would like it.

A professional, fully bilingual nanny service can also be recommended. This is the service we use for our own children.

For special occasions, we can recommend a private chef for either the duration of your stay or a single romantic dinner. Advance reservations are recommended.

Exploring the Riviera Maya

Although sargassum comes and goes, the Riviera Maya offers much more than its spectacular beaches. Nearby activities and attractions include:

• Nature reserves
• Parks
• Cenotes
• Boat tours
• Diving
• Sailing
• Day trips to Chichen Itza and Valladolid
• Mayan ruins

For beach lovers, we are happy to recommend local beaches off the beaten path that have been mostly unaffected by sargassum. These beaches remain beautiful and pristine and are approximately 10 minutes from the condominium.

Local Recommendations

As a kitesurfer, I can share information about local kiteboarding spots, recommended equipment, and the windy season.

We also enjoy dining out and exploring the Riviera Maya and are happy to offer our recommendations for the best places to visit.
