TAO Santamar is a brand new, serene gated community, beautifully nestled between the Caribbean sea and the green jungle.

It is located just south of Akumal, 20 minutes from Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and 60 miles from Cancun International Airport.

To properly enjoy everything this area has to offer, we recommend you rent a car.
There is free parking nearby.

No Smoking
To protect community health and the fragile coastal ecosystem, smoking is strictly prohibited inside the unit, on balconies, and in all common areas. Thank you for helping preserve this special place.

Getting Around
The setting is peaceful and tucked away from the busier resort zones. To fully enjoy nearby beaches, cenotes, dining, and day trips, we strongly recommend renting a car. Taxis and transfers are available, but a car offers the greatest flexibility—especially for longer stays.

Dining Nearby
Several beachside dining options are located nearby, including Beached Bikini Grill & Bar, a local favorite just a short walk along the coast. For fresh seafood, visit Jungle Fish Beach Club. Additional restaurants, cafés, shops, and essentials can be found in Akumal Pueblo and Akumal Playa.
