Peace & Tranquillity
If you are looking for a peaceful and laid back vacation on the beach - on the gulf coast of Mexico – Sapphire Villa may be the Yucatan beach rental for you.
This charming 2 bedroom 2 bath villa
is located in the state of Yucatan, in the small fishing village of Chelem, 45 minutes from the culturally rich colonial city of Merida
and 15 minutes from the Port of Progreso where cruise ships now
visit. It is a one hour drive from Merida airport and a 4 hour
drive from Cancun airport.
Our lovely property manager Petra speaks English very well and she will greet you and help you settle into your vacation villa on the beach. She can arrange cleaning and laundry service if you desire and can answer any of your questions while there. She lives just off the main square (zocolo) in Chelem and just off the beach.
The perfect retreat for Snowbirds!
The Area
The famous Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza is only 2 hours away. Uxmal is 50 miles south of Merida and is smaller than Chichen Itza, but architecturally more striking and mysterious. Dzibilchaltun is also smaller but is only a 25 minute drive away and has its own cenote (fresh water spring) for swimming.
Merida, known as the most beautiful colonial city in Mexico, will
enchant you when you want to go out for nightlife, culture, music,
great Yucatecan food and of course excellent shopping. You can find
hammocks, crafts, wall hangings, hats and clothes that will be a
happy reminder of your time spent in the Yucatan when you return
home.
