WELCOME TO VILLA MAKAX

A Hidden Sanctuary on
Isla Mujeres

Villa Makax is located on the west side of Isla Mujeres overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean with beautiful views of sunsets and the twinkling lights of Cancun in the distance. With our private beach and soothing heated saltwater pool, the Villa is truly a sanctuary hidden behind private walls.

Named for one of the sides of this double water front property, Laguna Makax, the villa is styled after the traditional Mayan Palapa, grass roofs crafted utilizing the same skills and techniques used 1000 years ago.

There are restaurants and shopping within walking distance and the Turtle preserve is a short walk south down our beach. Our guests can be picked up for their Isla Mujeres water tours at our private dock on the laguna side.

Our cottages are literally steps from the beach and crystal clear water, with views are as wonderful as the tropical energy and breezes. A beautiful pool invites you to lounge and chill. Once inside our enchanted villa, you’ll be in a world of your own choosing. So close to the beach, if any closer you would be in the water.

Amazing

“It was wonderful, quiet and beautiful views!”
— Peggy B

Peaceful Paradise

“What a dream to wake up to turquoise ocean views. The property was quiet, peaceful, and well maintained. The caretakers are very warm and friendly, and responsive. My wife and I enjoyed the salt water pool and tranquility of being on the quieter side of the island. There is a nice little restaurant walking distance, and we had a golf cart to get around. It was a perfect trip and we can’t wait to go back! It felt like home when walking in the door after a long day of exploring the island.”

Isla Adventures

“We have traveled extensively and this was by far one of our greatest trips! Steve and Lindell were amazing. Beautiful accommodations, wonderful salt water pool, wonderful views. I really enjoyed the location on the island: away from the “ hub bub” but close enough to get anywhere. Taxis are 100 pesos no matter where you go and I do recommend the freedom of a golf cart for several days. We will definitely be back!”
— Jennifer & Jim

Another Great stay!

“We have been to Villa Makax a few times now and love it. It is always very quiet and peaceful, which is just what we look for on a get-away trip. We go up to town for some entertainment and nightlife but are glad to get back to a heated pool and beach that are never crowded because of the limited number of guests. Juan and Serviana do a great job. And it is always fun to see Steve and Lindell.”
— Dave D.

Loved Villa Makax!

“Casa Grande, the palapa/casita we rented was comfortable and had everything we needed for a beautiful stay on Isla Mujeres. Steve, the owner, was jovial and helpful with all of our inquiries and needs. Loved waking up to the sound of the surf, tropical birds, and the little dog Cuca. The heated pool was amazing, I spent many hours soaking up the rays and enjoying this well appointed spot. Can’t wait to return!”
— Andrea B.

Private Paradise

“Really loved everything about the property. So private. We stayed in Cottage Sam which was amazing – from the bed you can look out to the sea and listen to the gently lapping waves. The pool was also amazing with lots of chairs and floating devices as well as a outdoor living space. A really rare find and would highly recommend Villa Makax.”
