Villas in Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen suits groups who want beach bars and the pedestrian Quinta Avenida in the same small town. Homes here mostly have a private pool and sleep about six, and some sleep far more. The centre gets lively late, so light sleepers should choose carefully.

About Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen is smaller and more relaxed than Cancún. Quinta Avenida is a cobbled, pedestrian-only street that runs for roughly 20 blocks, with prices higher along it than a couple of blocks away. Many bars are on the beach itself. Our homes sit in one tight cluster in the town. Most have a private pool, a garden and air conditioning, and a good share sleep eight or more. Shops and restaurants typically close around 22:00, but clubs stay open through the night.
Is Playa del Carmen right for you?
- Best for
- Groups wanting a private pool within walking distance of the beach
- Not for you if
