Ak Villa-Akumal Bay, the ONLY villa on the prettiest beach in Paradise!

Ak Villa is a beautiful villa on Akumal Bay, and the ONLY villa on the prettiest beach in Paradise! 4,500 square feet in a Moroccan Mediterranean style with huge rooms, Moorish arched windows throughout and "Arabian Nights" decor. This villa has to be seen to be believed and a true fantasy that's come to life! Villa Ak is 20 mins to Tulum, 15 minutes from Puerto Aventuras and 30 mins to Playa del Carmen, by car!


Villa Description
The entry into this walled estate is lined with huge palms. There is a three cars covered garage and on top 2 of the 6 bedrooms are located in this detached guest house. This is a perfect place to keep the teenagers!!

When you arrive you'll walk up a sweeping curved stairway and enter through huge carved doors with stained glass windows on either side. You will immediately notice the incredible 30-foot cathedral ceiling, carved stone walls, Greek floors with Bali rugs, indirect lighting, domed brick ceiling in the dining room and unbelievable sweeping view of Akumal Bay.

The kitchen is immense, has a domed brick ceiling, is fully equipped and has a breakfast table and it even has a wet bar that passes through to the living room! There's a great powder room and the living room couches are decked out in tiger print fabric with lots of cushions.

Every room in Ak Villa has a beautiful view of the ocean. There are two large air-conditioned guest bedrooms downstairs with high ceilings, walk in closets, king-size beds and huge bathrooms. One of these bedrooms has a completely separate entrance, for extra privacy! You reach the immense and very dramatic master bedroom upstairs by ascending a spiral wooden staircase. The first thing you'll see is the canopied teak king-size bed in front of a carved stone wall. It has a wraparound covered balcony where you will want to spend many hours reading and enjoying the constant breeze off of Akumal Bay. The bathroom is actually three rooms: one for the toilet and bidet, one for the two basin main room and another for the double head shower stall. The decor is unique and beautiful with gorgeous tile work.

Ak Villa's fouth bedroom is located next to the main house facing the pool. Known as the PRANA BUNGALOW, for its energy flow and peacefulness, the Balinese-Hindu style of this room will delight. Fronted in the garden by "the Queen of the Seas" bronze statue and the pool deck, this room has it all. A king size bed and extra sofa/twin bed along with the stoned walled outdoor shower will make you feel like a king. Feel the river stone floor of the outdoor shower massage your feet while under the sun, the moon and the stars.

Ak Villa is on an incredible beach and has a gorgeous "lagoon style" swimming pool with Pagoda pool house on the beach side of the villa. There's a pass-through from the kitchen for outdoor entertaining and the entire roof of the villa is an observatory for looking at the stars or watching the spectacular sunrises over Akumal Bay. The villa was designed to enjoy the constant ocean breeze so it has no air conditioning in the living area and the ceilings are so high and there are so many windows that it stays very, very cool.

This villa is special, special decor, special location, location, location! For sheer luxury and elegence, take a trip to Ak Villa today!

The Perfect Vacation
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the third time we've stayed at Villa Taj Kumal. Once again, it was the perfect vacation! The house is the perfect size for the 12 of us. It is absolutely beautiful. Most of our time was spent at the pool. It is well maintained. I loved that the privacy wall has been lowered so you can look out to the ocean but yet still have privacy. The grounds keeper and housekeeping staff do a wonderful job. The rooms were cleaned daily and they were accommodating to our requests. David, the manager, was very helpful to us as well. We appreciated that there is 24hr security at the house. The location of the house is also a main attraction for us. No need to rent a car because everything we needed was within walking distance. Almost every morning we walked to Loncheria Alumalito for breakfast. I highly suggest the french toast and scrambled eggs with chorizo. La Buena Vida has a great ocean view while having dinner. The moonlight on the water was beautiful. La Cueva del Pescador has the best margaritas! I suggest the seafood soup while enjoying your margarita. Taverna Akumal is a new Italian restaurant with great food and a great atmosphere. Turtle Bay Cafe and bakery is also a great place. Lol-Ha has a great ocean view but the food is okay. Imelda's Ecocina is open for breakfast and lunch. It is tucked away so not real noticeable when you're walking around but keep looking for it! It had the best fish tacos! Next to the restaurants is a small area with local vendors if you're in the mood for shopping. If you're looking for shopping like the shops in Playa del Carmen then this is not the place for you. It was the perfect vacation for family and friends and I can't wait to go back again. I love Akumal and I wouldn't think about staying anywhere else besides the Taj Kumal.

Great location in Akumal
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The best part of this house is it's location. This was our second time staying here. It's a short walk to restaurants, bars, dive shop, market, bakery and more. I have teenage boys so it allows them a little freedom and me peace of mind because Akumal is a safe, small community. Enjoy and look forward to going back next year.

Good Friends, Good Times in Akumal
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second trip to Akumal and our second stay at the TajKumal. The location is perfect! Very close to the restaurants and shops. The staff at the house are wonderful. The house is spotless and the pool is kept clean. The snorkeling was awesome and we got a lot of use out of the kayak. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen making cocktails to enjoy at the pool and pigging out on the food we purchased at Sam's in Playa. We heard the TajKumal will be a B&B next year. We were disappointed to hear that. We love staying there and had planned on doing it every year. We still love Akumal and plan on going next year. We'll just find another place to hang out and have a great time! Thank you Akumal Villas for your help and a big thank you to Myrna for letting us stay at her beautiful house!!

February 2013
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 2nd stay at the Villa Taj Kumal. As we hoped, it was as wonderful as before! The location is perfect for swimming and snorkeling right out the back door. The beach is beautiful. The pool is perfect for lounging around in the afternoon and has plenty of shaded areas for those who have had enough sun. We love being able to walk to the Lol-Ha for lunch and to Turtle Bay for breakfast or dinner. Our rental golf carts came in handy for getting to destinations a bit further away. It's the most exotic yet simple and relaxing villa we have found. Myrna and her staff are very good to work with and take care of any needs that may come up. We would recommend anyone to stay at the Villa Taj Kumal. We plan to return!

The location was the best part
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was the best part but I think you need to clarify that the guest house is above the other unit above the garage because you made it sound like it was a place next to the pool. The cleaning personel were very nice but you should tell guests ahead of time about the suggested 5% tip which I think is very high.
