About Casa Christensen
Casa Christensen is the perfect place to unplug, enjoy the quiet, and be healed by the sun and nature. We understand that in this modern age, WiFi is important, so we provide complimentary wifi internet access for our visitors. All bedrooms and the kitchen are cooled with ceiling fans.
Right in front of the villa is the natural aquarium that is Yal-Ku Lagoon, with views looking out over the Caribbean, and unlimited free access to the lagoon, with easy entrance immediately in front of the villa. The snorkeling and swimming here are fantastic! The white sandy beach of Half Moon Bay is also just a very short walk from the villa, and there are plenty of restaurants, boutiques, dive centers, and conveniences within walking distance of the house. Akumal is only 1.5 miles long from end to end and Casa Christensen is 1km from Akumal Bay. Ask us about renting a golf cart or bicycle to make accessing all of the village's amenities even easier.
Finally, we cannot recommend enough the cooking by Octaviana, who along with her husband Pedro, lives on-site. We especially love her chiles rellenos (veggie, vegan, or chicken)! Octaviana and Pedro have been with our home and family for over 30 years, and are a treasure!
Activities nearby include Mayan ruins, cenotes, adventure and culture parks like Tulum, Xel Ha, and Xcaret, beautiful beaches, diving, fishing, sailing, world-class golf, horseback riding, spelunking, and much more.
Decorated with authentic Mexican tiles and featuring local traditional architectural techniques, Casa Christensen has multiple shaded areas throughout the property for guests to enjoy during their stay. Featuring beautiful palapa-thatched roofs, a large oceanfront deck, a rooftop lounge area, and an impressively large living room and dining area with magnificent views of the water, this property is an excellent getaway for friends and families.
The Mexican colonial and Mayan Moorish design provide a bright, airy layout beautifully structured by the acclaimed architect of the famous Maroma resort. The location, Caribbean breezes, windows across the entire expanse facing the ocean along with waterfront decks and roof terraces provide natural cooling and views galore.
Enter the villa through double doors and be greeted by a large, open-plan, circular living space, with a peaked 30-foot ceiling and spectacular views of the turquoise waters immediately out front. There is an ample dining area, a large kitchen with a breakfast bar, and a library area where you will find a glass topped display table to enjoy while reading a great selection of Maya and coral reef literature.
Beyond the library are 2 adjoining bedrooms with 2 double/full beds and a private bathroom and each of which opens out to a shared covered terrace. The third bedroom on the lower floor is furnished with a queen bed, seating area, and has its own private entrance and private ensuite bathroom.
Follow the curved staircase leading up to an open plan study and seating area that overlooks the living room, a large roof deck facing the jungle and sunsets (perfect for happy hour!), and the primary suite.
The primary suite boasts a built in king-sized bed, a large private bathroom with twin vanities, and two large closets and storage closets in the bathroom. This suite has a private terrace facing the ocean, for sunning and enjoying both sunrises and sunsets.
