More Than Just a House on the Beach. This is the extraordinary La Casa de la Playa.

Posted on 12/19/2024

There’s something beautifully simple about naming a boutique resort The House of the Beach. It creates a certain visualization of what vacationers might experience here. Turns out, all the visions are true.

Since it opened, La Casa de la Playa has quickly become known as a below-the-radar gem for those looking for something exceptional and unusual.

Tailor-Made Experiences

At La Casa de la Playa, experiences are specifically designed for individual guests, and the results will leave you with lasting memories. For instance, instead of a private romantic dinner on a beach, why not dine next to a cenote right in Xcaret Park? Instead of an ordinary spa treatment, how about a Purification and New Being ceremony at Xel-Há Park? Because of this hotel’s shared ownership with the network of nine of the best eco-parks in the Cancun/Riviera Maya area, exclusive access is limited only to the imagination.

Special Access Where X Marks the Spot

As mentioned, guests at La Casa de la Playa are able to get special access to parts of the parks owned by the group. This includes the Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor, Xplor Fuego, Xenses, Xenses Insomnia, Xoximilco, Xenotes and Xavage, plus experiences on the high seas by Xcaret Xailing. 

Sensory Experiences

Fine food is one of the greatest pleasures in life, and at La Casa de la Playa, that fact is well-recognized.  Not only are the restaurants already extraordinary, with four venues dedicated to regional flavors of Mexico that offer deeper dives into the country’s specialties.

For example, at La Chocolateria, a candy boutique by designer and master chocolatier Mao Montiel, homage is paid to one of the Mayan culture’s greatest contributions to gastronomy: cacao. At Bodega, a hand-picked collection of some of the country’s finest tequilas and mezcals are on offer, and when you get there you are welcome to sample across the full range as you learn about the unique characteristics and traditions behind each bottle.

In-Room Touches

The key part of any modern-day hotel stay is the personalization you encounter. And that means the room, which is another example of luxury at La Casa de la Playa.

While there are only 63 suites for an intimate, true boutique vibe, across three buildings, each of the suites are at least 1,065 square feet, and offer specific benefits for each category. These include wellness amenities, an ocean view, spa benefits, oceanfront, and beachfront settings. As a baseline, they all start with a 65-inch TV, full dining table for room service indulgence, electric curtains, steam showers, and outdoor space including, in some cases, volcanic rock bathtubs with hydromassage or heated pool access. Plus, there’s butler service and twice daily housekeeping to keep your private spaces as refreshed as you feel.

Included Private Transportation

Many hotels and resorts offer the luxury of private transportation to and from the airport. But at La Casa de la Playa, high-end private transfers to and from Cancun and Tulum’s airports are part and parcel with every stay, in premium vehicles with personalized service. This ensures that from start to finish, every moment around and between a stay at La Casa de la Playa is an extraordinary experience.

Well Awarded

Earning awards is already an extraordinary feat. But earning some of the most competitive rankings in the world? Well, that’s levels above. La Casa de la Playa earned five stars with the Forbes Travel Guide in 2024, AAA Five Diamond Status, and won best hotel in Mexico – and second best on the planet – from Travel + Leisure for the World’s Best Awards.
