The Riviera Maya has no shortage of beachfront resorts — but if you’re looking for something that doesn’t feel like a resort, Playa del Secreto is still one of the last quiet pockets of the coast. Tucked between Puerto Morelos and Playa del Carmen, the “Secret Beach” lives up to its name: white sand, gentle surf, and almost no foot traffic.
We built Casa Chanty specifically for travelers who want that. Here are five reasons it works.
1. The beach is literally your front yard.
A private gate opens straight from the property onto the sand. No crossing a road, no fighting for a lounger.
2. The Penthouse has a 180° glass wall.
The entire living room faces the Caribbean. You can watch the sunrise from the kitchen.
3. You’re 20 minutes from the cenotes.
Hidden cenotes like Cenote Verde Lucero and Cenote Mojarras are a short drive. We’ll send you with directions.
4. Housekeeping three times a week.
The Penthouse and Casa Angelica include housekeeping, bottled water, and beach towels. No resort fees.
5. It’s family-run, not corporate.
The owners live on the property. Chef Beto has cooked for the family for two decades.
