This is the Caribbean the way it's supposed to feel. 120ft of private beach, an oceanfront pool with its stunning hand-painted mural wall, and murals at every turn — including a life-size jaguar painting that stops every single guest in their tracks. Fiery sunrise every morning. Reef 200ft offshore. Exclusive screened lanai. Solar powered. 3 bed · 2 bath · sleeps 5.
Privately set on a wild stretch of Caribbean coast 15km north of Mahahual, Castaway Palms is the kind of place you have to know about to find. 
Before you even set foot inside, a hand-painted life-size jaguar mural stops you completely — a crouching jaguar on ancient Mayan stone, staring straight at you through the wild garden, surrounded by heliconia blooms and jungle palms. 
This is your welcome to Castaway Palms. The main house is the warm, colorful, art-filled heart of the estate — and once you arrive, you will understand why guests never want to leave.
A fully solar-powered Caribbean home on the Mahahual coast. 120 feet of private beach. An
oceanfront pool with a spectacular hand-painted mural wall. A sunrise that will ruin all other sunrises for
you. Hand-painted, hand-built, and filled with love from the arched picture windows to the tiled kitchen.
— ARRIVAL —
Look for the bold yellow pillars painted with 'Castaway Palms' — you'll spot them easily from the beach
road. Pass through the warm honey-coloured hardwood gate and the world disappears. The pool wall stops you first — a breathtaking panoramic Caribbean beach scene painted in vivid colour: swaying
palms, a beach cottage, tropical birds in flight, turquoise ocean. Follow the garden path through wild bougainvillea and the jaguar mural appears — life-size, vivid, and completely unexpected. 
There is parking space for up to 4 vehicles.
— THE BEACH —
120 feet of your own private Caribbean beach. White sand, coconut palms heavy with green coconuts,&nbsp;and water that shifts from aquamarine to jade to deep sapphire as it reaches the reef. An opening in the&nbsp;reef creates a natural bowl of warm, calm sand — perfect for swimming, shallow enough to stand and&nbsp;watch the fish right beneath your feet. Go for a morning swim, rinse off under the outdoor shower, and&nbsp;settle into a hammock with your coffee while the birds sing in the palms. Beach loungers and chairs are&nbsp;set up and waiting.





— THE POOL —
The oceanfront pool sits right on the beach behind its magnificent curved privacy wall — hand-painted&nbsp;with a panoramic tropical beach scene on the outside and a glorious golden-haired mermaid rides the painted waves on the poolside, where a built-in bench runs along the wall. Float in the pool while watching the real Caribbean just beyond.

— THE SCREENED LANAI —
The screened lanai is a world of its own — a beautiful shaded room open to the tropics, with&nbsp;hand-painted tropical bird murals across its walls. Sit inside the painting. Hear the ocean through the&nbsp;screens. Watch the coconut palms sway. This is where mornings happen at Castaway Palms. The&nbsp;screened lanai is reserved exclusively for main house&nbsp;guests.



— MAIN LEVEL · 4 bed / 2 bath · sleeps up to 5 —
The main house is warm and alive with personality. Arched picture windows frame the
Caribbean like a living painting from the dining room and living area — golden yellow walls, colorful
Mexican woven throws, ceiling fans, and hand-painted tropical bird murals throughout the lanai. 
The Master Suite has a king bed and a queen bed, both beneath a stunning hand-painted tropical mural
covering the wall above you as you sleep. Open your eyes to ocean views every morning. 
A dedicated workspace for those who need to stay connected is also in the master suite. 
The Toucan Room has a queen bed beneath a
gorgeous large-format painting of a toucan perched in tropical jungle leaves — warm terracotta tile
floors, matching lamps, dark wood nightstands, a personal sink and mirror inside the room, and its own
private bathroom right next door. 
The third room, a.k.a The Nook, is semi-private, separated from the living area by a half wall and has no door — a queen bed, perfect for families or flexible groups who want a little space without full separation. Both bathrooms have a built-in shower seat and all towels are provided. The fully equipped kitchen has Talavera tile details, gas range, full refrigerator, dishwasher, a wooden island with bar seating, and a sliding door straight out to the palms. The dining table seats 6 with the Caribbean framed in arched windows right in front of you.
— THE REEF & OCEAN —
The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef — second largest in the world at 600 miles long — lies just 200 feet&nbsp;offshore. Snorkel, free-dive, kayak, paddleboard, or simply wade out and watch the fish beneath your&nbsp;feet. An opening in the reef creates a sheltered bowl of sand that makes swimming calm and magical&nbsp;even for young children. To the south, 500 metres away, is a famous fly-fishing spot for permit,&nbsp;bonefish, triggerfish and jacks. Spearfishing is world-class — bring your gear and ask the owners about&nbsp;the honey hole. A freshwater lagoon nearby adds even more fishing to the mix.





— OFF-GRID COMFORT —
The entire estate runs on a whole-house solar system with full electricity backup. The Caribbean trade&nbsp;winds keep things cool and fresh nearly every day of the year — air conditioning is available but rarely&nbsp;needed. Fresh rainwater cistern with UV filtration for clean drinking water. BBQ grill, Starlink WiFi,&nbsp;smart TV, and a full suite of water toys — kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear, and boogie boards.&nbsp;&nbsp;Beach massage can be arranged before arrival — ask the owners! 




A weekly fresh food truck brings local produce, fruit, eggs and meats. Mahahual town is 15km south for restaurants, supplies and day trips.
Taxi to and from the airport are available. 
Pets welcome (max 2, fee applies).
A note on sargasso: Summer is the "off season" and sargasso often shows up, but&nbsp;we are fortunate that when it comes ashore, there is always clear water to&nbsp;the right of us for swimming, kayaking and snorkelling.

— EVENINGS AT CASTAWAY PALMS —
When the sun goes down, the estate comes alive in a different way. Light a campfire on the beach and
watch the stars appear over the Caribbean — the night sky out here is something you will not forget. Or
climb the rose-pink Stairway to Heaven to the rooftop and stargaze from the hammocks at palm canopy
height, with the ocean stretching to the horizon one way and the lagoon the other, views in every direction. Main house guests are welcome on the rooftop (please note: the upper terrace is the private space of upper suite guests when both units are separately rented).
— THE LOCALS —
Dicey the beach dog will meet you at the gates. Kitty the garden cat moves on her own schedule. Both
are very much part of the Castaway Palms family.

There is not public transporation that travels north of Mahahual. Taxis are plentiful in Mahahual. There is public transportation as far as Mahahual. Once at Castaway Palms , there is secured parking inside a fence.
Please note that due to addressing in this part of Mexico, our Airbnb map pin shows incorrectly in Mahahual town — we are actually located 15km north in El Placer / Rio Indio. 
Do not rely on the map pin for navigation. Look for the yellow Castaway Palms pillars on the beach road, and we will send you full directions upon booking confirmation.
We recommend stocking up on groceries in town on arrival — a fresh food truck visits weekly with vegetables, fruit, eggs and sometimes meats, though service can be irregular.
