Entering Spirit of the Sea, through double arched Caribbean-Hardwood doors the visitor is immediately drawn to the view of the Ocean. The architects glass window of 25 feet which reveals and frames the grandeur of the ocean. The Villa environment reminds one of the raw big ocean views of Big Sur in California. This is the last ocean front enclave of private Villas, located after the development of Akumal Sur, it is still close enough to walk into the town of Akumal, making it an ideal location. Currently there are no immediate neighbors on either side.
Villa Spirit of the Sea, a large Amarillo colored four-bedroom Villa has 5,500 square feet of Living space. Designed to maximize an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, patios are roof-covered and linked to the 45 foot long mosaic tiled Pool. The pool boasts a large 8-person Jacuzzi tub viewing the ocean. In the entrance foyer, the visitor sees the 6-foot tall black wrought Iron chandelier suspended from a domed ceiling 25 feet above. The hand-honed circular stairwell is embedded with river rock and bound by a hand-hammered artisan spiral railing all the way to the roof. The first floor of Esprit del Mar has a large Living Room, a Dining Room with a 12 candle enclave wall. A professional kitchen of black granite has two sinks and a dishwasher and is large enough for everyone to watch meal preparation. A separate Bar of Amarillo Onyx graces the hallway. There is a King sized 4 Poster Bed in the Library Bedroom which is located on the first floor. This bedroom has an en suite bathroom of honed Mayan marble and an oversized rainfall shower. Glass doors clad in wood, open up to large exterior Bar and Grill and a covered rock layered patio adjoins the pool.
The Library Bedroom, a large bedroom suite, is located on the first floor and has a four-poster Caribbean-hardwood bed. This bedroom overlooks the Caribbean Sea and the jungle. Its en-suite bathroom has double sinks, an oversized shower with rainfall shower heads.
Second Floor - Bedroom Description:
The Master Bedroom Suite occupies one entire wing of the villa, with a total living space of over 1,800 square feet. The King Size bed is framed with a rare fossilized hardwood tree root from the depths of the Yucatan jungle. The 360 square foot bathroom is clad floor to ceiling in a honed off- white Mexican marble called Crema Maya. The Master Bathroom boasts a large 6 foot round soaking tub, a separate oversized marble shower with a rainfall showerhead. Two marble sinks capture views of both the Caribbean and the jungle through windows of the en suite bedroom. This suite opens up to an oversized private balcony with seating, overlooking the pool and the Caribbean Sea.
The second Bedroom Suite – the Caribbean Suite – is a spacious suite with more than 550 square feet of living space. The King-sized bed, adorned with jungle vines, looks directly at the Caribbean Sea through 9’ wide glass doors. While all bedrooms are air-conditioned, most of the year one can sleep with the doors open and the ocean breeze suffices. The marble-clad bathroom has a hand-made egg-shaped tub that protrudes into the bedroom offering stunning views of the Caribbean (all with complete privacy) while you shower or bathe. The oversized private balcony offers a refuge from it all with double wooden cushioned loungers and a seating area.
Bedroom Three – the kids’ Jungle Camp Suite – offers a playful accommodation for up to six children, ages seven to seventy…. Naturally harvested tree trunks adorn the four beds in this large room with its own bathroom, double sinks and double shower heads to accommodate a crowd. Doors open to a large adjoining balcony overlooking the jungle, which has a built in twin-size bed and an outdoor shower, should someone wants to sleep “outside” but not too far away from those inside of interior bedroom Jungle camp.
All four bedrooms have air-conditioning and ceiling fans, yet due to the location with its natural sea breezes, we expect the A/C will be seldom used at Punta Sur. All four bedrooms have direct ocean views and very large outdoor balconies with seating areas. Beds are made to perfection with thick pillow-top mattresses, luxury linens and plush pillows. All bathrooms are furnished with cotton towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner and a hair dryer. Three of the bedrooms have a safe deposit box for valuables
The second floor has a desk-computer area for two people, with WiFi service provided at no charge.
