Luis will be delighted to accompany you before and during your stay through the platform, while Juan will always be available to help you with whatever you need during your time at the property. At check-in, either of them will greet you with a warm welcome, providing you with details about the house and sharing tips and suggestions to make the most of your stay. We're here to ensure you have a wonderful experience.


Exploring, immersing oneself in the waters of Bacalar Pueblo Mágico, is delving into a unique experience. Few are privileged to visit this corner steeped in rich cultural and geological history. It is the second-largest body of water in Mexico, home to one of the world's largest colonies of stromatolites. These ancient life forms patiently await on the shore of our property, ready to tell their stories to those who pause to observe.

Our location, just 9 blocks from the bustling town center, plunges you into an authentic experience, immersed in vibrant local life. The central park stands as a charming stage where local crafts, typical cuisine, and the lively atmosphere of restaurants and bars create a captivating atmosphere. We suggest visiting this effervescent spot during the afternoons, where you can share the ambiance with tourists and listen to the locals' conversations, still spoken in their ancestral Mayan language.

In this journey through time and culture, we invite you to explore the Fort, now transformed into a museum, to immerse yourself in the fascinating narratives of the Mayans, Spaniards, mestizos, and the intriguing tales of pirates who left their mark on this land. The choice of the name "Casa Villa Real" for our property is not just a designation but a tribute to the history that has left an indelible mark on this magical corner.

Welcome to Aldea Villa Real, where each step is a gateway to the history, culture, and natural beauty of Bacalar Pueblo Mágico. We await you with open arms for you to live this unique experience!

Guests have exclusive access to the entire villa, including all indoor and outdoor spaces. Enjoy the private garden, outdoor dining area, barbecue zone, and loungers overlooking the lagoon. You'll also have direct access to the lagoon for swimming or kayaking, with kayaks provided for your use. The parking area is available for one vehicle, ensuring convenience during your stay.

Welcome to Casa Villa Real
Your private escape in front of the stunning Bacalar Lagoon. A space designed to slow down, disconnect, and enjoy nature in a comfortable and stylish setting.

The Space
The villa blends indoor and outdoor living effortlessly. On the main level, you’ll find an open-concept living and dining area connected to a fully equipped kitchen—perfect for sharing meals and moments together. Large sliding doors open completely, letting in natural light and the fresh breeze from the lagoon.

Upstairs, there are three cozy bedrooms, each with its own air conditioning to ensure a comfortable night’s rest. The rooms are compact but thoughtfully designed.

The main bedroom offers direct access to a spacious balcony with beautiful lagoon views—an ideal spot for morning coffee or sunset relaxation. The other two bedrooms connect through a hallway and also share access to this balcony.

All bedrooms have a view of the lagoon, each from a different angle. One of the rooms includes a bunk bed (double bed on the bottom and single on top), making it perfect for families or groups.

A shared full bathroom is located on this level.

Outdoor Experience
Step outside and enjoy a lush garden leading to your private lagoonfront area. Lounge by the water, take the kayaks out to explore, or enjoy a meal outdoors in the dining area. Whether it’s sunrise, sunset, or a quiet afternoon, this space is designed to be enjoyed.

Sleeping Arrangements

Bedroom 1: Queen bed (A/C)
Bedroom 2: Queen bed (A/C)
Bedroom 3: Bunk bed (1 double + 1 single) (A/C)

Design & Atmosphere
Casa Villa Real features a Nordic-inspired design, combining wood, metal, and concrete to create a modern yet warm atmosphere. Every detail is curated to offer a relaxing and memorable stay.

- You can get to bacalar in different ways, the airports of Cancun and Merida are approximately 380 km away, however from Cancun consider a trip with more traffic so it is slower. The Chetumal airport is only 35 km away but you will surely have to make an air connection in Mexico City. From any of the above points you can arrive by road either by car or bus and whose station is located a few blocks from the property. The town is small and you can get around on foot from the property to the main points of interest or in the local taxis at low cost.

- The air conditioning system automatically turns off when doors are open or rooms are unoccupied to conserve energy.
- Mosquito nets are not installed to enhance natural airflow, though fumigation is conducted regularly. Guests may encounter some insects due to the villa’s lush surroundings, so we recommend bringing insect repellent.
- Some areas of the villa, such as stairs and the lagoon front, may pose risks for young children, so adult supervision is essential.
- Drinking water is not provided, so consider purchasing bottled water upon arrival.
- Occasional maintenance may be required due to the rural location, but we are always available to assist with any issues promptly.

Our short stay

The outside living area is very nice with beautiful views of lagoon. Outside area should have been swept/cleaned better before our arrival. The downstairs living area and bathrooms were nice, but the bedrooms/beds left much to be desired. The property managers were very easy to communicate with and responsive. Overall, the property was good but not great.

We called it the glass house as you could see the water from every angle of the house. The house was clean and communication was perfect during the entire process. This house is walking distance to all needs but we had a car because we went at the end of June and the humidity was high so we drove many places. The AC worked great but only in the rooms but the two fans downstairs would cool the kitchen and living room to bearable. The furniture was cozy, Beds are firm, outdoor furniture was great and the kayaks was a bonus as you cannot see the sunset unless you are on the water. Kayaking was a highlight. The full moon rise and sunrises were picture perfect. Bathrooms are great and water pressure is nice. The kitchen had basic kitchen needs. We made breakfast everyday but ate out dinner every night. If we needed anything Luis or Juan were there to help. They went as far as buying us games to play at night. More than accommodating. We stayed 10 nights and paid more than we usually do on a house but we were celebrating my son’s graduation and 18th birthday but it was worth it to be right in the water. No complaints it was a lovely vacation and the house was everything we wanted! We can’t wait to go back!
