Architect Designed Villa Near Yalku Lagoon In Akumal

Casa Loro is not the typical Riviera Maya villa. Originally designed and built by a Mexican architect as his own private residence, this one-of-a-kind home combines circular palapa-style architecture, custom curved glass, tropical privacy, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living in one of Akumal’s most distinctive residential settings.

From the house, it is approximately a 3 to 4-minute walk through Yalku Residencial’s private pedestrian access to Yalku Lagoon. Yet once inside the property, the outside world almost disappears. Mature landscaping surrounds the home, neighboring houses are not visible from the main living areas, pool, or gardens, and the atmosphere is wonderfully quiet and peaceful.

The main living area sits beneath a dramatic palapa roof with a central skylight. Curved walls and largely frameless windows draw the gardens into the home, while custom furniture was designed specifically to complement the architecture.

The custom Italian kitchen and bar were made for entertaining. High-end appliances, black marble countertops, a central gas cooktop, backlit onyx, custom cabinetry, and bar seating keep the person preparing food or drinks connected with everyone else.

The open living and dining spaces flow naturally toward the pool and covered terrace, and the integrated Sonos system carries the atmosphere indoors and outside.

Casa Loro offers 3 dedicated bedrooms plus an ensuite media room that can comfortably function as a 4th bedroom. One full bedroom is on the ground floor, making it practical for guests or anyone who prefers to avoid stairs.
