Casa Cascadas

4 Bedroom Beachfront Villa for Sale in North Akumal, Riviera Maya
Property Description
Casa Cascadas is a turnkey 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom beachfront villa on the North Akumal headlands, a short walk from Akumal Bay on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Designed by Enrique Alcaraz, a renowned local architect and artist, it has the charm and curb appeal of a Spanish hacienda and features some of his original art. Every bedroom faces the Caribbean and has its own en-suite bath and A/C.
Steps lead from the elevated oceanfront terrace down to a semi-private cove with sand all the way to the water, which very few homes on these headlands offer. Wave action here keeps sargassum from settling the way it can in the bays. On the jungle side, a lighted pool with a rock waterfall is sheltered from the wind by the house and a garden wall, enabling guests to have sun or shade at any time of day.
Two king suites downstairs open onto the terrace; two more upstairs feature French balconies overlooking the sea and share a private courtyard. Casa Cascadas is wheelchair acessible, which is very rare in the area. Ramps connect every ground floor level, and the main floor suite has a widened doorway, open space for knees under the vanity, a comfort height toilet with grab bars, and a shower with a seat and grab bars.
A 2024 renovation brought new ocean-facing windows and sliders, new living room flooring and furniture, updated bathrooms and concrete repairs. It is sold turnkey with a separate caretaker’s casita that could be used as a guest house, and already runs as a well-reviewed vacation rental. The feel is relaxed and comfortable, which is why families come back year after year.
