Akumal’s Most Coveted Beach for Private Getaways
Tucked between the tranquil shores of Akumal Bay and the lush jungle backdrop of Riviera Maya, Jade Bay is one of the most sought-after destinations in Akumal, Tulum—and it’s easy to see why. With its secluded charm, unique beach terrain, and exclusive villas, Jade Bay offers travelers the perfect balance of peace and proximity, making it ideal for families, friends, and couples looking for a private escape.
Quiet Luxury Just Minutes from Akumal Bay
Despite its tucked-away location, Jade Bay is just a 20- to 30-minute walk to the northern end of Akumal Bay, where travelers will find a colorful stretch of the town filled with restaurants, dive shops, souvenir stands, and friendly faces. But what makes Jade Bay so special is that you can retreat to serenity whenever you choose—without giving up access to Akumal’s best attractions.
Unique Mixed-Terrain Beaches for Snorkeling and Exploring
Jade Bay isn’t your typical stretch of white sand—it’s even better. The beach terrain is a mix of soft sand, coral rock, and natural limestone, creating beautiful tide pools that shimmer in the sun and offer endless opportunities for discovery. Because most beachgoers head to Akumal Bay’s more traditional shores, Jade Bay remains low-traffic and peaceful, even during peak season.
For snorkelers and divers, this location is a dream. Calm waters make for easy entry from the shore, and sea turtles often glide through the bay right in front of the villas—no long or bumpy boat rides required. Water shoes are recommended, but the reward is worth it: snorkeling in your own private bay feels like uncovering your own corner of the Caribbean.
Private Villas, No Hotels
One of Jade Bay’s most defining features is its exclusivity. There are no hotels—only private beachfront villas, ensuring that every guest experiences the comfort, space, and privacy of a home away from home. Whether you're planning a family vacation, friends' retreat, or romantic couples’ trip, Jade Bay has something for everyone.
