Located near Tulum and the Sian Ka’an Biosphere, Soliman Bay combines natural beauty with a tranquil ambiance on the Riviera Maya. Soliman Bay villas take that serenity even further with private stays that harmonize perfectly with their tropical setting.
Originally part of a Mayan trade route, Soliman Bay emerged as a prime villa destination in the 2000s. Its quiet, nature-focussed atmosphere and strict environmental laws allowed it to stand in contrast to busier destinations like Playa del Carmen or Tulum. This protected status remains in place, allowing Soliman Bay to maintain some of the area’s best-preserved landscapes.
As a result, Soliman Bay villas beckon to those who want to experience a more untouched side of this celebrated coastline. This is where those who want to live in harmony with nature come to experience true relaxation.
