Riviera Maya Haciendas rents a private collection of luxury villas in Puerto Aventuras, a gated marina community on Mexico’s Caribbean coast. Four full hacienda estates, Casa Cangrejo and Villa Nautica sit inside the gates, and each one is booked as a whole property for a single group at a time. Every hacienda comes with a resident staff: a chef, a butler, a bartender, housekeeping, groundskeeping, and a concierge.
Booking is direct. One inquiry to our team, one point of contact, no marketplace layer between you and the property. For availability and rates, write to rentals@rivieramayahaciendas.com.
Puerto Aventuras sits about an hour and a half south of Cancun International Airport. It is closer than Tulum and calmer than Playa del Carmen, which is part of why families and private groups keep coming back to it.
Puerto Aventuras works for a luxury stay because it combines a gated, secure setting with direct beach access and a short drive from the airport.
The community is a private marina town with controlled access and on-site security. Inside the gates you have a working marina, dive operators, a golf course, and a string of beach clubs, most of them within walking distance of the villas. You are not driving out to attractions. You are already inside the part most visitors come to see.
Distance is the other reason. From Cancun International Airport, the drive to Puerto Aventuras runs about one hour and thirty minutes. Tulum, by comparison, is roughly two hours and fifteen minutes away. Playa del Carmen is closer, around forty-five minutes, but it trades quiet for crowds and nightlife. Puerto Aventuras keeps the calm.
What keeps people coming back is the texture of the community itself. Puerto Aventuras is small enough to walk, with the marina at its center, restaurants and a few shops around it, and the beach a short stroll from most of the villas. It feels less like a resort strip and more like a private town that happens to sit on the Caribbean.
Six private estates, with a combined capacity above one hundred guests, all inside Puerto Aventuras. Each estate is always rented in full, so you never share it with another group.
Choosing between them usually comes down to two questions: how many people, and how close to the water. Hacienda Magica takes the largest groups. The three beachfront haciendas and Villa Nautica put you on the sand. Casa Cangrejo offers the same staffed experience facing a cove at a smaller scale.

These estates were built for groups, not for couples after a single hotel room. Three kinds of trips fit them best.
Multigenerational families are the most common. Grandparents, parents, and kids under one roof, with enough suites for everyone to have privacy and enough shared space (pool, terrace, dining) for the time together that is the point of the trip. The resident chef handles the logistics most family vacations stumble over: feeding a dozen people three times a day.
Friend groups come for the same reasons in a different shape. A block of couples, a milestone birthday, a reunion. Whole-estate privacy means the group sets its own rhythm, with late dinners, a bartender on hand, and no shared resort spaces to compete for.
Corporate retreats round out the list. The haciendas have the capacity for a full team, the privacy for working sessions, and a concierge who can turn the estate into a venue for meetings by day and dinners by night. Hacienda Magica, at up to 36 guests, is the usual choice when the whole team needs to stay together.
Every hacienda, Villa Nautica and Casa Cangrejo comes with a resident staff, so the estate runs like a private boutique hotel for your group alone.
The chef plans menus with you and cooks on site, from breakfast to a private dinner on the terrace. The butler and concierge handle the day to day: reservations, excursions, special requests, the small logistics that usually eat into a vacation. The bartender runs the bar. Housekeeping keeps the estate in order throughout the stay.
At the beachfront haciendas (Magica, del Mar, Jaguar, and Corazon) you step from the property onto the sand. The concierge can arrange airport transfers, in-villa spa treatments, private tasting menus, boat charters, and dive trips through the on-site operators.
Full resident staff is included at the four haciendas, Villa Nautica and at Casa Cangrejo. When you inquire, we confirm exactly what is included for the property and dates you have in mind.
On food and drink: the chef cooks on site, and groceries and beverages are usually billed at cost. Menus are planned with the group, so dietary needs, kids’ preferences, and a celebratory dinner can all be handled without leaving the estate. Some groups eat every meal in. Others use the chef for breakfast and dinner and explore the area’s restaurants at lunch.
One inquiry to our team starts a direct booking. There is no coordination across separate hosts and no marketplace in the middle.
Minimum nights vary by property and by season, and high season books out early. The fastest way to hold dates is to write to us directly.
The community itself is the amenity. Most of what you will want is inside the gates or a short drive away.
Within Puerto Aventuras you have the marina, a golf course, dive shops, and beach clubs. Cenotes and the reef are close by, and the ruins at Tulum make a reasonable day trip.
For a three-night stay, most groups settle into the estate, spend time on the beach, and book one excursion. Five nights leaves room for a reef dive or a cenote tour plus a day in Playa del Carmen. Seven nights is enough to add Tulum and a slower pace. The concierge builds the plan around your group.
A few things are worth building a day around. The reef off the coast is part of the Mesoamerican system, with dive operators on site. Cenotes, the freshwater sinkholes the Yucatan is known for, are a short drive inland. And for slower mornings, the golf course and the beach clubs are a few minutes from the door.
About one hour and thirty minutes by car. We arrange private transfers as part of the concierge service when you book at an additional cost.
Yes. It is a gated marina community with controlled access and on-site security, which is one reason it is popular for multigenerational family stays.
At the Hacienda del Mar, Magica, Jaguar, Corazon, Villa Nautica and Casa Cangrejo, a resident staff: chef, butler, bartender, housekeeping, and concierge. Bookings are handled directly at rentals@rivieramayahaciendas.com.
Hacienda Magica sleeps up to 36 guests. Across all four haciendas combined, capacity runs above one hundred guests.
The resident staff, including the chef, is part of the stay. Food and beverages are typically billed separately, and the team plans menus and stocking with you before you arrive.
Yes. Because you have the whole estate, private dinners and group gatherings are part of what the space is for, and the concierge can help arrange catering, setup, and staffing. Tell us what you have in mind when you inquire. Keep in mind that there’s an event fee for special events with external guests
It depends on the property and the season. Write to rentals@rivieramayahaciendas.com and we will confirm the minimum stay for your dates.
Yes. Airport transfers are part of the concierge service at an additional cost.
Puerto Aventuras is a quieter, gated marina community. Playa del Carmen is livelier and more urban, with more nightlife and foot traffic. Groups that want privacy and calm tend to choose Puerto Aventuras as their base, then visit Playa del Carmen for a day.
