A great location on the Mexican Caribbean Coast of the Mayan Riviera. Villa Encantada, "Enchantment", is a fabulous four bedroom, four bath beachfront luxury villa in the exclusively residential area of Jade Beach, 60 miles south of Cancun.

Arranged on three levels amid a lush tropical landscape, the villa sits directly on its own palm fringed Caribbean beach. This architect designed home, owned by a renowned painter and sculptor. The focus of the villa is a four level circular tower, penetrated through its center by a shaft of light.

A circular dining room, steps down into an elegant sunken living room with 11 foot ceilings. Floor to ceiling glass doors look out to the swimming pool, palms and the turquoise sea beyond.
