Casa Las Ceibas | A Private Jungle Sanctuary in Puerto Morelos

The magic begins the moment the gates open.

Casa Las Ceibas is not simply a home. It is a hidden compound nestled in the lush jungle of Puerto Morelos, where towering Ceiba trees stand like quiet guardians. Fruit trees are scattered throughout the expansive grounds, palms rustle overhead, tropical birdsong fills the air, and monkeys pass through as welcome visitors. This is a place for those who crave privacy, land, and a deep connection to nature without giving up everyday convenience.

Set on a large lot in the Zona Urbana neighborhood of Puerto Morelos, Casa Las Ceibas unfolds as a thoughtfully designed compound, offering multiple living spaces that invite both togetherness and retreat.

At the heart of the property sits the primary residence, a striking round palapa that immediately captivates. Soaring ceilings and natural roofing create an airy, organic feel, while the wide open living and dining areas are designed for gathering with friends and family. Walls of windows surround the space, framing views of the tropical gardens, pool area, and jungle beyond, allowing nature to become part of daily life.

The kitchen is equally inspiring, surrounded by windows and filled with natural light, with generous counter space and storage that will delight the cook in the family.

Life at Casa Las Ceibas unfolds at a gentler rhythm.

Mornings begin with light filtering through the palms, coffee in hand as the jungle wakes up. The pool becomes a natural gathering place throughout the day, whether you’re floating in the shade, reading quietly nearby, or sharing long, unhurried afternoons with friends.

The expansive palapa living space invites connection. Meals linger, conversations deepen, and days naturally flow into evenings, all within a space that feels both grounding and open to the world around it.

Within the main palapa are two spacious, light-filled bedrooms, each offering serene views of the surrounding tropical gardens. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, a large walk-in closet, an en suite bath, and space for both sleeping and lounging.   The guest room also offers a comfortable space to relax, a full closet and en suite bath.   There's also an office - but it might be hard to get any work done when nature is offering such an amazing shot right outside the windows.  A guest bath is conveniently located off the main living area.

Beyond the main house, the compound continues to unfold. A beautifully designed studio casita sits apart from the palapa, offering peace, privacy, its own patio, and a full bathroom. Another casita features two queen-sized beds and a full bath, ideal for guests or extended stays. There is also a dedicated laundry room with an additional area suitable for staff accommodations, complete with a bathroom.

The property is exceptionally well equipped for full-time living, with covered parking, abundant storage, a pool house, and a dedicated dog run.

With multiple structures thoughtfully placed across the grounds, Casa Las Ceibas offers a rare balance of shared experiences and personal space. Guests and family can enjoy their own private retreats while still coming together easily for poolside afternoons, shared meals, and evenings under the stars.

Surrounding it all are the majestic Ceiba trees, sacred in Mayan culture and deeply symbolic of connection, protection, and balance. Their presence gives Casa Las Ceibas an unmistakable sense of reverence and place.

This is a home for those who value privacy and land, yet love being connected. The beach is less than a 15-minute drive away, with no highway involved, just a straight, easy route. The vibrant La Colonia area of Puerto Morelos is under seven minutes away, offering shops, cafés, and everyday conveniences.

Casa Las Ceibas is a rare offering. A secret jungle sanctuary where life moves slower, gatherings feel effortless, and nature is not a backdrop, but a daily companion.
