Private Villa on the beach in Sac Bajo

Located on the Sac Bajo Peninsula on Isla Mujeres, you will enjoy a private lovely vacation in a safe and friendly environment.

The Villa at Quinta Ixchel is set up to accommodate adult individual travelers or couples looking for a romantic get away. You'll find everything you need in this newly remodeled and delightfully decorated villa. There is a small kitchen with a 2-burner stove; microwave, coffeepot, a king-size bed, gas BBQ grill, smart TV, heated salt-water pool, WiFi Internet - Your home away from home!

The main house of Quinta Ixchel is located on the same property next to the Villa. When on the island, my father stays at the main house and you will find him to be helpful for advice about the island. At the back of the property is one other very small house where the caretaker, Poli and his wife, Gladys, live. They are wonderful people who you would only see when they are cleaning the pool, raking the beach or watering the plants. Gladys is also an incredible cook. If you would like to have her cook food for you, she would love to do so for an extra fee. They take great pride and are very protective of our property - we are very lucky to have them. Thanks to them and the privacy of the house,  the property is very secure. There are also surveillance cameras on the property for the safety of everyone.

We also have a new dock in the lagoon with a beautiful palapa to enjoy morning coffee or afternoon cocktails!

It is located in the Sac Bajo neighborhood of the island, close to Villa Rolandis and Dolphin Discovery. It is very easy to catch a taxi in front of the house for a short ride to town.

The Villa is equipped with two sets of sliding glass doors that open completely to the outside on both sides to expand your living experience. Under the private palapa, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the pool and turquoise ocean, private beach, kayaks, and Cancun skyline. The villa is the perfect place for morning walks on the beach and faces west for beautiful sunsets.

We also have a generator that fully powers the entire property, including ACs.

If you love the ocean, this is an excellent chance to experience it. The views from the patios are remarkable and just a few steps away, your private beach and lounge chairs awaits you.

For safety and security, the Villa and pool are exclusively for our guests.

Known as a quiet fishing village full of Mexican charm, Isla Mujeres will take you away from the ordinary and fascinate you with its renowned white sandy beaches, flavorful cuisine and multitude of cultural events that will delight your senses.

FANTASTIC PROPERTY! This place is absolutely as good as promised. The sunrises on the private beach are the exact same view you get from Playa Norte. The property is immaculately kept by an onsite local that is extremely helpful with anything and everything. This property is really amazing and a really great value. The property is a short golfcart ride from everything and its located on the westside of the island in a very nice neighborhood so we always felt safe. If you want a private getaway in Mexico this is your place!

There is a reason why this is rated 10/10! Beautiful property, easy check-in, accommodating host, very private stay. The pool is great, the beach is beautiful, the guest house was clean, smart tv, wi-fi available. We were glad we reserved a golf cart through the host, and it was there upon our arrival. The host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. The only thing we regret is not booking a longer stay.

A tiny slice of paradise

Our trip to the Villa at Quinta Ixchel was everything we hoped for. Having Katy as an English speaking host/resource made a HUGE difference and was such a bonus to this entire experience. The villa was super clean, pool and beach were amazing and as a major bonus - the bed was SO comfortable!! A wonderful trip all around!

Great Experience

From arrival to departure the welcoming and attention to detail was fantastic. The property is pretty amazing and you cannot get better than your own private beach! Dave (the owner) is very nice and respectful of your privacy. The guard onsite keeps the grounds very nice and its great to have someone close the gate for the night. Katy (property manager) was great at communication and staying on top of needs we may have. Thank you both!

Exceeded Expectations!

Quinta Ixchel was everything we hoped it would be and more! For our first time on the island we debated staying in Playa Norte/Centro vs mid-island, and we were so glad we chose this place. We LOVED having a quiet retreat to come home to after exploring the island each day! The unit was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed and a very comfortable bed. But the private pool, palapa and beach access really exceeded our expectations! Not just a “dipping” pool, this is the real deal. We loved watching the beautiful sunsets from the palapa. Katy, her dad Dave and the caretaker Poli were all so incredibly helpful in arranging for our golf cart, couples massage (amazing!) and offering recommendations. They all went above and beyond. Dave is the coolest! Thank you all for such a wonderful experience, we hope to back soon!

I have traveled extensively around the world, but my recent stay at this private villa truly set a new standard for hospitality. From the moment I arrived, Poli and his wife went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was exceptional. Their warmth and attentiveness were unparalleled, making me feel more like a cherished guest than just another traveler. Poli provided fantastic recommendations for local restaurants, each one better than the last, and even organized memorable fishing trips that added a unique adventure to my vacation. One of the highlights was when Poli's wife prepared the fish we caught, turning our catch into a delicious meal that I will never forget. The villa itself was immaculate, with a fresh atmosphere and an air conditioning system that kept the space cool and comfortable. The pool was pristine & inviting, while the beach area felt like a mini paradise, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. I cannot recommend this place enough! For anyone considering a stay, I highly suggest renting a golf cart for easy transportation around the area. It truly enhances the experience and allows for more exploration. Overall, this villa is a hidden gem, and the level of hospitality provided by Katy, Poli and his wife is something I will carry with me on all my future travels. Don’t miss out on this incredible experience!

Everything about our stay thanks to our host. Katy was amazing. The beautiful, private, elegant master bedroom suite with private pool and beach could not have been more perfect. Enjoying the sunset, dinner overlooking the ocean in our private cabana and tooling around the island in our golf cart was a blast. we’d come back in a heartbeat. In fact we’re thinking about our next stay. it’s a 10 out of 10. And I’ve never given a rating like that before, and we have literally been all over the world.

Pictures are amazing but in real life, it was even better!! Will not stay anywhere else in the island moving forward. Gorgeous pool, exclusive beach access, and a comfy bed. What more could one ask for? Poli had our golf cart waiting for us when we arrived and it has easy access to many wonderful restaurants. Love that it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the north end, yet a quick golf cart ride should we decide to shop, etc.
