Private Villa Meets Boutique Hotel
Casa Xixim is more than just a vacation rental – it’s an experience. You know you’re on vacation when the chef has fired up the grill and you have a cold drink in hand. Other key indicators: yoga on the roof deck, bespoke concierge, private pool, freshly raked beach, projector + big screen, beach loungers + shade, curated adventures, an unbelievably amazing night sky, kayaks, snorkel gear, and more.

CHEF SERVICE
We’ve pioneered a new wave in travel with our ecoluxe boutique villa, distinguishing us from standard vacation rentals and hotels. Going even further, we enlisted renown Chef Joaquin Cardoso of Mexico City to create our menu and personally mentor our two chefs. Our gourmet ‘family-style’ menu provides a range of options while featuring Cardoso’s guidance–shared main courses paired with hearty salads and small plates. Cardoso’s dishes are influenced by regional traditions, and reinvented with a touch of his signature magic. Ingredients sourced local, seasonal, and organic when possible.

MENU
Every Casa Xixim reservation includes 3 family-style meals per day by our 2 chefs. In advance of arrival, we'll have you select your 1st dinner and 1st breakfast from our menu. The menu has instructions, and if needed the concierge and chefs can help you select the rest of your group’s meals once you've arrived. A family-style menu means 1-2 main entries, and 2-3 sides/salads for everyone to share.
PROVISIONS
Because of our remote location our chefs do grocery shopping in advance of your arrival, and then shop every 1-2 days thereafter. The chefs ask to be reimbursed with cash pesos every few days based on shopping receipt totals. We generally estimate a range of 500 – 800 Mexican pesos per person per day, not including alcohol or seafood.
COFFEE
We consider coffee an artisanal delight, and Mexico produces some of the finest coffees in the world. We serve Drip Café Especial coffee of Mexico City–who partners with small, local coffee growers. Beans are roasted by owner Santiago Sota and shipped fresh to Casa Xixim. Sota's roasting style highlights the natural qualities of the bean and subtleties of flavor.

CONCIERGE
We’ve transformed the experience of planning your stay at Casa Xixim, with our insanely helpful Casa Xixim Guest Planning Portal. It’s a central hub with everything you need. You’ll receive personal itinerary support from our House Manager/Concierge and Casa Xixim owners, including an in-person welcome tour to get you settled in and finalize all your details.

TRANSPORTATION
From the Casa Xixim Guest Planning Portal we can assist you in booking a door-to-door private airport shuttle with our transportation partner. For getting around during your stay we can coordinate a rental car to be delivered to the house, assist with taxis, or you may inquire about private vehicle + driver rates.
WELLNESS
Tulum is famous for an abundance of highly skilled wellness practitioners and Casa Xixim has curated a wealth of in-house wellness services. Start your vacation right with scheduling private massages, group yoga on our rooftop deck, a sound healing journey, or bootcamp on our beach. We have something for everyone.
ADVENTURES
We have personally curated an adventure guide highlighting cultural tours and nature adventures. We take care in partnering with operators that respect the environment and Mayan heritage. We provide a list of recommendations ranging from family-friendly activities, to culinary delights, sporty adventures, and beyond.

HOUSEKEEPING
Your vacation time is precious so leave the housework to us. Our housekeeper prepares the house for your arrival, provides daily service to tidy up rooms, and changes bedsheets and towels every 3 days.

BEDROOMS
Casa Xixim has 4 primary suites that have their own unique personalities to fit everyone in your group. Each suite is spacious, private, includes a patio or terrance, and are outfitted with Tuft & Needle mattresses, AC, laptop safes, and Haiku efficient ceiling fans.
AMENITIES
Due to our off-grid sustainable waste water wetlands system (no septic tank) we provide eco-friendly bath products. Suds up with our all natural honey shampoo, conditioner and soaps made by Yucatan Senses. To eliminate plastic waste we refill our vessels for each guest.
LINENS
You’ll sleep easy in our luxe Parachute sheets. Beds are topped with a cozy cotton blanket and an extra throw. Additional pillows and blankets are in each closet. Baths are outfitted with plush towels. Fresh towels and linens are provided on the third day of your stay.

GROUNDSKEEPING
Our groundskeeper lives on-site at the property entrance in the studio casita. He tends to the daily care of the home, gardens, and beach.

POOL + BEACH
Our groundskeeper is typically up with the sun to rake our private beach, skim the pool, water the gardens, and tend to our variety of beach gear. We keep a supply of snorkel gear and sand toys in a beachside cabinet, and have a variety of kayaks and SUP boards for your enjoyment on tranquil Soliman Bay.
SLIDING DOORS
As an ecoluxe home, we don’t have glass windows by design and instead our doors have louvers with screens to keep the elements out. We recommend leaving the sliding to our staff as they can be quite heavy, and the floor pins can be tricky. They’ll typically open all doors in the morning and close them at twilight. You can request to keep any doors closed.
ASSISTANCE
While our groundskeeper tends to various maintenance and care of our facilities, he is always available to help pull in a kayak, call for a taxi, carry a suitcase, and is a master with his machete and a coconut.
