Akumal Homes for Sale

Akumal houses are the reason people who have looked at Tulum come here instead. The turtle bay has been a settled village since the 1950s, low rise throughout, and its housing stock reflects that: family-sized houses on real lots, not towers of studios stacked for the rental market.

What is for sale

Thirteen houses are currently listed in Akumal, priced from $320,000 USD for a four-bedroom jungle house on a 5,000 m² lot in Rancho San Martín, to $2,700,000 USD for beachfront estates directly on Akumal Bay. The median asking price is $1,133,000 USD. Layouts run large: nine of the thirteen have four bedrooms or more, and two – Villa Fantasea and a further oceanfront estate on Half Moon Bay – have seven and nine bedrooms.

Four of the thirteen sit directly on the beach: Villa AK on Akumal Bay itself, Casa Zama and Villa La Belle Vie on Half Moon Bay, and a nine-bedroom oceanfront estate with private beach access. The rest sit inside the gated Bahía Príncipe / Tulum Country Club villa cluster or on private jungle lots between the two bays.

Where they sit

Akumal is arranged around two bays. Akumal Bay is the main one – shallow, reef-protected, where the turtles feed and the dive shops and beach restaurants are. Half Moon Bay curves north and is quieter and more residential, home to most of the private houses. A cluster of villas also sits inside the gated Bahía Príncipe development a short drive inland, built around the golf course rather than the beach.

Who buys here

Families, long-stay owners and whole-house rental operators. The bedroom counts point at group rentals rather than lock-and-leave condo income, and the low building heights and 1950s village core suit buyers who want an established place rather than a construction site.
