Sian Ka'an is the largest protected nature preserve in Mexico's Maya Riviera, world renown for its unique wetlands and unparalleled biodiversity. The name Sian Ka'an means "where the sky is born" in Maya. The Mesoamerican Reef—the world's second largest—is just a short swim from the beachfront directly outside your doorstep. Spend your days exploring the abundant nature and historic treasures nearby, or simply relax and enjoy the solitude of your private beach. At Casa Almaviva, you will find yourself in harmony with nature. A CULINARY JOURNEY David, the caretaker, is an excellent chef who specializes in Mexican and Mayan cuisine. He will prepare all your meals at Casa Alamaviva, using fresh, local ingredients. If you like seafood, you are in luck, because the local fisherman brings his daily catch right to the house. Ceviche and lobster paella are just two of the specialities of the house. -- GOURMET MEAL PLANS | Personal Chef | Family Style Meal plans are required for all guests. Choose either plan.

The villa is located in the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, a protected nature reserve next to the Caribbean Sea. It’s 21.5 km from the entrance to Sian Ka’an, which is located at then end of Tulum beach. It typically takes 50 to 80 minutes or more to drive to the villa from Tulum depending on road conditions. How far is the villa from the airport? You have two airport options: Cancun (CUN) and Tulum (TQO). From CUN, the drive is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes, and from TQO, it’s 1 hour 45 minutes, depending on road conditions. Can I get a late check-in? Our check-in time is 3:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. and late check-ins, when permitted, incur a $100 surcharge. We ask first-time visitors who are self driving to arrive before sundown, which can range from 6:00 p.m. in winter to 7:30 p.m. in summer. This because there are no lights or phone service on the Sian Ka’an road, and late at night there is very little traffic. When booking flight, your international flight needs to land five hours prior to arrival at the villa if coming from CUN, or 4 hours prior coming from TQO. (Allowing for immigration, customs, and car rental.) If your flight scheduled that it will put your estimated arrival past check in time, we encourage you to stay one night in Cancun or Tulum on your way in. What are the driving conditions? The road from the either airport to Tulum is a multi-lane paved highway and is a very easy drive. The road from the highway through Tulum beach is a narrow paved road with lots of pedestrians and can sometimes have a lot of traffic. The Sian Ka’an road is a dirt road that gets re-graded just once a year, and the schedule is unpredictable. For about nine months out of the year, this road is in rough condition with many potholes. You will want to drive carefully and leave yourself extra time to get to your destination. Should I rent a car or get an airport transfer? The vast majority of guests rent a car because it gives them freedom to take day trips without paying and waiting for expensive taxis. Transfers from the airport are available but costly. You can check prices at Canada Transfers. We recommend renting a sturdy vehicle and making sure your quote includes
