Villa Gauguin Akumal
Rated #30 of 84 Riveria Maya Corridor on BDW
About:
Villa Gauguin is the newest and best located house in Akumal.
Built at the entrance of the Yal-Ku lagoon, it has a unique view of both the ocean and the lagoon. Bordered by a rocky coastline, Villa Gauguin has direct access to the lagoon, a natural aquarium where you can snorkel, canoe or simply swim in its crystalline waters, looking for sea turtles which frequent the lagoon.
Villa Gauguin is an ideal place for those seeking a refined and luxurious environment for their holidays.
Villa Gauguin was built in a minimalist style with pure and simple lines allowing a full integration with the natural surroundings. The architectural principle of Villa Gauguin is the “sea” and all its shades.
Once you open the entrance door, you are amazed by the 180° view of the Yal-Ku lagoon. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow a perfect integration of the house and the sea.
