THE PROPERTY
Soliman Bay is the best kept secret on the Riviera Maya and the hidden gem of Tulum. The Casa Playa Maya property is situated in the central location on Soliman Bay which has a rock-free beach with soft, white sand. The beach is at your doorstep and largely private and undiscovered, so the beach is never crowded. All the beach toys are included: Kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear
Entry to Soliman Bay is protected by our Security checkpoint staff.
Protected by the second largest coral reef in the world, we have the safest snorkelling, calm, warm water and abundant sea life.
TURTLE NESTING
Between July and October is turtle season. Because Soliman Bay is quiet, abundant sea turtles choose Soliman Bay to make their nests. Many of our guests have had the once in a lifetime opportunity to view this amazing natural phenomenon of nesting and hatchlings returning to the sea.
SERVICES

• Stocked fridge upon your arrival – including beer, wine, tequila*

Luis will even cut you a fresh coconut from one of our many trees for the perfect afternoon cocktail.
* Fees apply
GETTING AROUND

About the host
Hosted by Glynis Fleming

We really want to share this amazing location with others and make memorable holidays and memories. Casa Playa Maya is located in pristine Bahia Soliman. It's a beautiful private beach in a protected bay. Unlike busy Tulum beach, our location is quiet with a beautiful sandy beach.
Entering the north end of Tulum Beach in town now comes with a fee for visitors.
When you rent with us your private beach is included...no need to pay to visit a busy commercialize beach. Just a few steps to the sandy beach, you can slide into your snorkel gear and experience amazing sealife. Jump into a kayak or onto a paddleboard and explore this calm turquoise bay. Its amazingly beautiful. All gear is included.
There are 2 restaurants on the bay and Tulum is only 15 minutes away if you want more shopping and restaurants.
We want our guests to come away feeling like they have truly had a vacation in a tropical paradise.

Why they chose this property
Soliman Bay remains the best kept secret on the Riviera Maya and we feel blessed to have discovered it and want to share it with you !
What makes this property unique
This is the polar opposite of an all inclusive resort. There are no crowds, but Tulum is close enough for some night life, great award-winning restaurants, mayan ruins and other attractions. Soliman Bay hosts only 48 properties and sits on the 2nd largest reef in the world. The beach and water have lovely white sand, the water is warm and aquamarine. Because the bay is uncrowded, guests can expect to see lots of sea life like sea turtles, rays, tropical fish, crayfish and more. Our community operates the Bahai-Soliman Turtle Protection Program and we hatch over 3000 baby turtles on the bay each year and it's climbing. These are only a few special things...the rest are you...when you visit.
