About this property

Beachfront Villa with pool & waterfall: Gorgeous sandy beach

Villa Tres Delfines is a beachfront villa located on the gorgeous sandy beach of Soliman Bay. Set in spacious, beautifully landscaped tropical gardens, this is the perfect get away with friends or family. Enjoy snorkeling and kayaking in the calm, protected, blue waters of the bay, take in the magnificent views of the Caribbean and the jungle from our roof decks, fly a kite, build a sand castle, walk the perfect crescent shaped beach, watch the pelicans overhead, the iguanas sunning on the rocks, or just relax in one of the many hammocks. Nearby are spectacular Mayan ruins, world famous cenotes (watery caves unique to the area), jungle adventures, scuba diving, and fishing, as well as restaurants and shopping in the quaint town of Tulum (about 10 minutes away). The villa includes daily maid service, satellite TV, Internet access, kayaks and an optional chef service.


Soliman Bay is a perfect crescent shaped bay, with a lovely sandy beach, calm protected waters, and fantastic coral reefs for snorkeling. The bay is a secure gated community of private homes, so you will have the beach to yourself.


Villa Tres Delfines has a spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. In the living room is a flat-screen TV, with Sky TV, and DVD player. There is also a music system, plenty of books, guidebooks and games. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, utensils, gas range/oven, fridge, microwave, blender, coffee-machine. We also have a washer+dryer for your use.


On the main floor are 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. All bedrooms have sliding doors leading out to beachfront covered patios. Upstairs is a huge master suite with a spectacular 180 degree view of the bay. The suite leads out onto a deck with a covered outdoor seating area and hammock. Finally on the roof is an observation deck with a 360 degree view of ocean, beach, mangroves and the sunset.


All linens, towels, beach towels are provided. Drinking water is provided. Daily housekeeping is included in the rental.


After booking we can connect you with our concierge partner that can arrange airport pickup, car rental, chef service, groceries, restaurant reservations, activities etc.


Three double kayaks are provided for your exclusive use with paddles and life jackets, including youth sizes. You can kayak out to protected reefs in the bay for great snorkeling, or snorkel from the beach. For the kids we also have sand toys, buckets and shovels.


The villa has it's own private pool with a waterfall cascading down into the water, and surrounded by a sun-deck with loungers. A perfect place to catch some sun, work on a tan or enjoy the sunset. Our resident iguana Spiky is usually sunning himself above the waterfall cascading into the pool.

A wonderful family holidat
The villa was exactly as described. A wonderfulsetting with many places to sit and relax. Mari and Jose kept the house and grounds in tip top shape. Beds were comfortable. We loved being able to quickly get to the beach. You do need water shoes if walking into the water in front of the villa. We went snorkeling and saw a large variety of fish and a couple of rays. Unfortunately the coral has died but some is slowly growing back. We had Vera as our chef for the week. With 2 babies with us it was so easy and the food was delicious and varied. D

Book Club Birthday Trip
Our book club of 20 years stayed at the house to celebrate a friend’s milestone birthday. The road getting down there is very bumpy and a bit treacherous, but once we were there, we had an amazing time. The pool and beach are gorgeous and Maria took such good care of us and the house during our stay. We also hired a chef for two meals through a recommendation from the concierge, and he was outstanding. Highly recommend this option, which was affordable and delicious! Property is close to town and the ruins and a short beach walk away from two restaurants.

Christmas Vacation
Our Christmas Family Vacation at Villa Tres Delfines was nothing short of wonderful! Nestled perfectly in Soliman Bay, a cab ride from Downtown Tulum, the location was perfectly private, with the shared beach just steps out the back door. Maria and Daniel kept the house and grounds pristinely. We highly recommend the Manta Ray restaurant just up the beach!

Stunning Location
The photographs do not do the home justice. Soliman Bay is fairly remote, you reach the home along a fairly bumpy dirt road, which may feel off putting, however it is short and there is a security gate before entering the properties. There is a stunning boutique hotel at the start of the bay, and aside from another beach restaurant (which only opened in December), there are no other commercial stores in the bay. Which was perfect for us. The newly opened bar/restaurant is amazing by the way. Possibly the best ceviche I have ever had. The house sits right on the beach, and we had every meal on the patio. The views are stunning. It is quiet, neighbours are quiet and respectful and the home is spacious and comfortable. Maria and Daniel who look after the home speak no English, but are the most generous and lovely people you will ever meet. Every morning the home was cleaned back to check in standard. This takes a lot of pressure off being parents :) All in all I would stay here again in a heart beat.

Fabulous!
It was 6 of us staying at this amazing property. It was our little beach gateway after attending a wedding in Merida. The property is as advertised....right on the beach. There is a pool behind the house on the non-beach side, which is perfect as you can spend the mornings in the pool when there is still a bit of shade and then you migrate to the beachside in the afternoon. As this is a private beach / gated community it is super quiet. As many other guests have pointed out the caretakers of the property are amazing, beyond attententive, and always ready to help...with anything!!! From keeping the place spotless (inside and out), to hanging up clotheslines for our washing to organizing drivers for day trips. And no, they don't speak English, which isn't a problem at all, just makes some good use of your miming skills, your basic Spanish and Google Translate ;-) To summarize: this is exactly as advertised! And we enjoyed every second of it!

A wonderful vacation!
We loved our 9-day stay at Tres Delfines. The beach and outdoor areas were beautiful and we spent most of our time outside. Mari and Chef Benito were a pleasure-- Mari kept the house supremely clean and Chef Benito cooked us delicious dinners for most of the nights we spent here. We would come again!

An outstanding property for our annual family adventure. Directly on Soliman Bay, your 50 feet to water’s edge. Tired of ocean play, the pool provides a fun alternative. The staff is attentive and friendly, and the meals prepared for us were excellent. We’ll be back!

Perfect Location
Set right on the beach this authentic villa is the perfect base for your vacation. The layout works well for families with different spaces to relax. The pool area is like a sheltered oasis and waking up to the sea view is an experience you can never tire of. Within easy access of Tulum (with a car) we were able to venture out easily as well as enjoy the peace and quiet at the villa. The caretakers are near by , discrete but keep the villa clean and look after you as needed. Benito , the chef services are to be recommended.

Everything about Tres Delfines lived up to expectations. Absolutely beautiful location topped off by attentive and caring staff. Bonito's food was very tasty, presented beautifully and timed perfect. His time is very reasonably priced but be aware that groceries can be expensive. Mari is a great housekeeper and was very respectful of our privacy. She kept the house spotless. A perfect getaway and highly recommended to all.

Tres Delfines!
We (party of 8- ages 5 thru 71) had a fantastic time at Tres Delfines. Arul did a great job communicating, and we appreciated the detailed directions to find the house. The house/groundkeepers, Maria and Daniel, were friendly and efficient in all they did. The house was spotless when we arrived, and they ensured it stayed that way. Overall the house is well equipped...and there was ample hot water in the bathrooms. Only complaint was there was no hot water in the kitchen. Beds were firm and comfortable. We loved the variety of seating areas and hammocks- no matter what time of day you could find either shade or sun. It was fairly windy several days, but with the pool on the back side (opposite of beach) it was protected from the wind. Pool was clean. Overall a great stay with great hosts.

Soliman Bay vacation
The property is right on the water with loads of outdoor chairs and hammocks scattered around. It is a charming villa with beautiful tile work. The only two issues are 1: that it is difficult to swim from the beach directly in front of the villa as there is so much rock and coral to navigate. 2: The other is that the furniture could use some updating. The seating indoors is uncomfortable, particularly for older people. We spent 8 lovely nights. The maid and her niece were terrific and we appreciated all that they did that There was always enough fresh water to drink. We hired a private chef which I would highly recommend with small children. The kitchen is well supplied. The weather was perfect. The host was excellent in communicating with us

Beautiful Location, Peaceful Stay, Amazing Staff
This property is about 15mins away from both Tulum and Akumal, lots to do nearby. It's a 7 min drive down a gravel road from the highway and in the neighborhood there is a hotel restaurant (we didn't get a chance to go), not much else, but this makes it very quiet/private/feels very safe. You definitely need to be prepared as far as food and needs because it's a bit of a trip to get anything as far as groceries (we had some groceries delivered on arrival). What we loved: The pool is so refreshing and is good for young kids, our 3 yr old could stand in the shallow part and loved playing there. They have a crib and highchair. Property supplies enough drinking water in large jug. We had Chef Vera make us dinner 3 nights and this was the best food we had on the trip. Highly recommended. Marie kept the house spotless every day. The beach was nice, some rocks as you wade in but otherwise very calm, kayaks were great. Saragasso was not terrible most days and there was service that cleaned it up in the morning. The AC in the bedrooms works well. What could have been better: No AC in the common area which made it not as pleasant to be together in the evenings after dinner or in the morning while eating breakfast inside. Would be nice to have some sort of AC there. Without the chef, would have been hard to prepare meals because there are no basics like oil, etc stocked in the kitchen. Would have been great to have small supply of kitchen basics and small amount of laundry detergent.

Me and my family of 6 stayed for 10 days. Last minute trip planned but everything worked out amazing. Arul was very easy and patient to work with. The house was beautiful, cozy and charming. The private beach and community was everything that we hoped for and more. William and the other workers did an amazing job cleaning up the sea grass every day. Maria so very kind and cleaned the house everyday. Unbelievable! Benito cooked us breakfast and dinner and was better then the restaurants we visited while in tulum. I loved the seclusion of the house and waking up to the sunrises every morning. Such a beautiful stay for a recharge from life. I will definitely come back in stay. Mucho Gracias!

Beautiful Tulum Escape
Our family of 7 really enjoyed our stay in Mexico at Tres Delfines. The location is ideal for privacy and feels secure. The view is stunning and there is an abundance of wildlife to enjoy. The amenities at the property were sufficient and there are services to really enhance your stay. I highly recommend Chef Bonito. Maria and her brother are both great and really do their best to keep the house in order. Of course, it's another record breaking year for Sargassum in the Caribbean, but we were lucky to have relatively clean oceans and beaches on our arrival. If you do stay here, I recommend taking Arul's word and kayaking out to the buoy to snorkel. The coral is very much alive here and it's worth the experience. Arul is above average when it comes to communicating with guests, which definitely improves the experience. We would certainly bring our family here again, it was a great trip.

Senior getaway
A short trip for my son (recently turned 18) and some friends of his to celebrate being seniors and just a getaway before the next step in life! The house was perfect. The house was spacious, with 4 bedrooms, allowing the girls to stay upstairs and have their own bathroom, and the boys downstairs sharing 2 additional bathrooms. Spacious kitchen, kayaks, etc. The pool was small, but with the house being on the bay, who really needs a pool? We had chef Benito come a total of 3 nights for dinner. Wonderful food, fresh, quality ingredients. Highly recommend. No one got sick, or anything. Everyone loved it. We had early flights and late departures and Arul was very accommodating giving us an early check in and late check out. Very much appreciated. We look forward to our next visit!

Slice of Heaven
Our spring break at the villa was just perfect! It started with the excellent and prompt communication we had with Arul both during the booking and leading up to us checking in. The detailed information that we got was very helpful in planning our travel and stay. Once we got to the villa we absolutely love the indoor outdoor set up. The pool, the palapas, the traditional architecture and the trees for shade outside set the right vibe. Maria and Daniel were a big part of the enjoyable stay that we had, keeping the house and the property spotless, and always being available to help with anything needed. We had Benito cook us dinner almost every night, and we enjoyed the food very much. Before travelling we had been very concerned about the seaweed and had hoped that our travel was early enough to avoid it. However this year it turned out that it got there much earlier in the year. The Seaweed while not ideal did not stop us from snorkeling or enjoying the beach. Daniel did a pretty good job of clearing the seaweed every day and keeping a path open for the kayaks to enter the water, once you clear the shoreline you are usually good. Our kids spent a lot of time on the beach and had a great time. We could not imagine staying anywhere else on our next visit, and highly recommend Tres Delfines.

Little piece of paradise!
Had a wonderful stay here in Tulum. The location was perfect. Beautiful beach in a calm protected bay. The water was crystal clear which made for easy swimming for our five year old daughter. Water shoes are helpful to get past some coral near the shore. We snorkeled right from shore and saw some cool fish but it is best to take the kayaks to the reef nearby as we saw alot more fish out there. The ocean was extremely warm which was nice. There was a small amount of sargassum but this was cleaned up every morning by the grounds keeper. I recommend bringing your own snorkel set and sandtoys if you have little ones. The house was open bright and authentically Mexican. Maria kept the house spotless and was always happy and smiling. The beds and rooms are very comfortable and each bedroom has an AC unit. We had Chef Baara cook for us during our stay and the food was exceptional! His meals were by far the best we had in Tulum. Everything he used was so fresh and flavorful. He cooked something special every day for our daughter as well. We highly recommend his service. We were hesitant with the price but after comparing to to cost of eating out and groceries it was actually very reasonable. Our stay would have not been the same without him! Solomian bay is a great location in Tulum. It's away from the noisy area but I would recommend a car to get around. There is a nice restaurant in the bay but pricey. Overall best holiday ever and we will be back!!!

Great Tulum Vacation!!!
We had never visited the Tulum area and I did a random search for a place to stay. I found many but Casa Tres Delfines checked most of our boxes. The home is just as you see it in the listing. The home fit our needs perfectly. It is located in a nice quite community just minutes away for the busy town of Tulum which was perfect for us. The beach and pool were perfect! There is a very nice restaurant located at the entrance in the same community. We had dinner there a couple of nights. Gives you an option of not going into town for meals. It is right on the beach which fit our liking perfectly. Now for the wonderful staff on property. Maria is so wonderful and is there for you no matter your needs. Within reason. Maria kept the home picked up and very clean daily. She also helped us several times when we couldn’t figure out how to use a couple of the appliances. She is so very friendly and helpful. She made our stay so special and enjoyable. Daniel kept the grounds in immaculate shape the whole time we were there. He is also a pretty good handyman! Both Maria and Daniel added so much value to our stay at Casa Tres Delfines which made our trip even better that just having a beautiful home to stay in. Thank you Maria and Daniel!!! The owner Arul was very responsive and informative before and during our stay. Thank you Arul!!! Your home and staff are absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed our stay even more than what we had hoped for. Until we meet again!

Amazing! Can't say enough good things!
My wife and I have been to Central America on many occasions. Aside from one time in a Costa Rican guesthouse off the beaten path, we often find ourselves in the mega resorts. Never again! When I first saw this place on AirBnB I didn't think it was real. After actually spending the entire week there...I still can't believe it was real. The pictures do not do it justice. It is absolutely amazing! 1. The villa sits on a private bay lined with villas. You have a perfect amount of beach front and not on top of your neighbors (the plot next door is empty and just vegetation). The area is safe. The bay is protected by a barrier reef so the water is calm compared to Tulum. It is beautiful and secluded. 2. The staff (Christobal and Bere..who was subbing for Olivia) was amazing. They kept the place spotless and were not intrusive at all! We loved having them around. Bere's cooking was unreal. We took advantage of it all but 2 nights...also first time in Central America not getting sick from the food. Unbelievable perk! They don't speak fluent English but it's very easy to communicate with them. No need to speak Spanish.. 3. You have everything right outside your front or backdoor. A pool perfect for a dip or just hanging out. A perfect beach for sun bathing, reading, paddle ball, hanging out, etc. Amazing water. Snorkeling around reefs that sit a hundred yards away from your beach (get there via the 3 2 person kayaks Arul provides). We went to Tulum one time and decided never to leave the house again. 4. You are 10 - 15 minutes from Tulum and a large modern grocery store (think mini-Walmart). There is no need to speak Spanish there. Navigating the grocery store is a piece of cake and has everything...super cheap too! 5. Arul is a great host. He provides tons of information and is very quick to answer questions. I was very impressed. For example, our arrival was delayed, but Arul made sure food was ready for us as we arrived. Incredible. I really just can't say enough about this place. We hope to go back many times in the future. I think I may be the first AirBnB review. For more reviews look up Tres Delfines or Arul on Home Away.

About the host

Hosted by Arul

Host profile image
We are a family of four living in the Pacific Northwest. Our kids are in high school now but have grown up at the Villa Tres Delfines, and love to take their friends down on vacation too.

Why they chose this property

My wife and I discovered the Yucatan back in 1992 when there was nothing south of Cancun but beach and jungle for hundreds of miles. After visiting and dreaming about the area for years, we finally found the perfect spot in the Villa Tres Delfines.

What makes this property unique

Being part of a private beach community, the villa is one of a thin ribbon of homes along the perfect crescent-shaped beach, with the blue Caribbean on one side and mangroves behind. There are no big hotels or crowds, and the beach is very private.
