Laze in the hammock on your private balcony and let the warm ocean breezes sooth your soul.

This is one of the member suites (we are members) of the 5-star Villa del Palmar Cancun in the tranquil Playa Mujeres area.
Designed with a nod to Mayan legacy, first-class amenities are cradled within a palm-studded resort that offers a world-class spa and extensive fitness facilities. This idyllic beachfront resort is perfect for families, friends and lovebirds.
Villa del Palmar Cancun has a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor with 8,000+ reviews averaging 4.4 stars ("Very Good") — and in 2025 received its highest level of recognition for all-inclusive resorts, the “All Inclusive Premier Plus" (of which there were only 2 awarded at the time, out of 100+ Cancun resorts in that category).
The elegant, spacious 1-bedroom suite (~1,152 sq ft) can accommodate 4 and has a state-of-the-art full kitchen, a spacious living room, 2 bathrooms, a private terrace, and laundry facilities and was recently renovated with beautiful furnishings.
The bedroom has a soft and inviting king-size bed and an oversized en suite bathroom with whirlpool bathtub, a separate shower, and his and hers sinks.
The expansive living room has well-appointed spaces for relaxation and is furnished with a sofa bed, perfect for the kids. Whether you are swinging in the hammock or hanging out in the seating area on your private terrace overlooking the beautiful panorama of the sea below, the view will both impress and rejuvenate you.
Your fully-equipped kitchen is the perfect place to practice your culinary skills and share a meal with family and friends at the 4-seater dining table. It includes a writing desk, Nespresso® machine, fully-stocked wet bar, coffee/tea maker, 50-inch smart TV, and a spacious bathroom
Note: We also have access to smaller studios (see our listing) and larger 2-bedroom suites with 3 full bathrooms (for a higher cost, of course) — as well as suites in the more-upscale Garza Blanca and the even more upscale, adults-only Hotel Mousai — both sister resorts next door to Villa del Palmar. Just ask.
Also note: Availability on VRBO doesn't mean there's availability at the resort. When you inquire or book with us, we'll confirm availability with the resort before accepting the reservation.
For an extra fee you can opt for a truly all-inclusive experience — with all fine dining and activities only steps from your suite — and create a magical retreat away from everything.

// THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Supremely situated in the Playa Mujeres beach area north of Cancun, one of Mexico’s most coveted locations with miles of undeveloped land behind it, it boasts one of the best stretches of white sandy beach in the area while the sea’s waves and currents are gently buffered by Isla Mujeres just across the horizon.
It's a tranquil area worlds away from the Hotel Zone and the tourist clamor of Cancun but close enough to enjoy if that's your thing (11 km from downtown and about 30 mins from the airport).
Take a short stroll to the Greg Norman-designed Playa Mujeres Golf Course and El Meco Mayan archeological site. It's just 12 km to the Urbano Kabah Park.
A short ferry ride from Punta Sam next to the resort or Puerto Juarez downtown takes you to Isla Mujeres (8 miles across the sea) and its beaches, village, and boutique shops.
// GETTING AROUND
Taxis, excursion buses, and hotel transportation are all available via the concierge. The public bus also passes in front of the resort (live like a local!). Airport transfers can be arranged through the resort in advance for a fee.
// THINGS TO NOTE
The member suites (like ours) are nicer than the hotel suites, are on higher floors (better views!) and away from the elevators (less foot traffic!). Nearly all suites have at least a partial view of the ocean; the few that don't have a direct ocean view still face into the center of the beautifully landscaped resort (as opposed to, say, the back of the property) — as do all the suites.
As members, we have priority but can't guarantee an ocean view if you book with little lead time and during high season.
During US holiday seasons (Presidents' Day, Holy and Easter Weeks, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years), there's a 7-night stay requirement, and reservations must begin on Saturday or Sunday.
Suites and public areas, including pool area, are wheelchair accessible, and there are units equipped with safety features for the disabled. Please note any special requirements, so we can make sure that the appropriate accommodations are reserved.
Cribs, high chairs, and rollaway beds are available upon request as long as occupancy is not exceeded. (Rollaway beds may be subject to an extra fee.)
Extra fees, like the all-inclusive option and certain amenities (spa, laundry service, etc.) are payable directly to the resort.
Villa del Palmar is a smoke-free property, but there are a couple designated smoking areas.
