Santamar Akumal Penthouse with Sea Views and Private Rooftop Terrace
Description
Some properties are about rental projections.
Others are about how you feel the moment you step outside.
This Santamar penthouse in Punta Sur, Akumal is all about the views, the breeze, and that rare feeling of having your own private rooftop space just across from the Caribbean Sea.
Located in Building F, PH303 offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a wide sea-facing terrace, and a private rooftop with panoramic ocean views. The rooftop is currently a blank canvas, which is part of the opportunity. Add lounge furniture, a pergola, solar panels, or even explore the possibility of a jacuzzi or plunge pool, and this space could become the true heart of the property.
Priced at $329,000 USD, the seller is motivated and looking to free up capital, making this one of the more interesting value plays currently available inside Santamar.
Why This One Stands Out
The condo itself is positioned across the street from the sea, with vacant lots in front that currently allow for open, unimpeded views toward the Caribbean.
From the primary bedroom and main living area, you step onto a terrace that stretches across the front of the unit. From there, stairs lead to the private rooftop terrace, where the views become even more impressive.
This is where the property really comes alive.
Morning coffee with sea breezes.
Sunset drinks from your rooftop.
A future pergola for shade.
A possible plunge pool or jacuzzi.
Maybe even solar panels to improve efficiency over time.
For a snowbird buyer, this is exactly the kind of space that makes winter in Mexico feel like a very good life decision.
The Condo
PH303 offers a comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bath layout suitable for seasonal living, full-time use, or part-time personal use with rental income while away.
The lifestyle here is relaxed and coastal, with the strongest features being:
- Sea views from the main terrace
- Sea views from the primary bedroom
- Private rooftop terrace
- Panoramic ocean views from the rooftop
- Excellent sunset views
- 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
- Across the street from the Caribbean
- Motivated seller pricing
This is not the most heavily furnished rooftop you’ll ever see. In fact, it is not furnished at all right now. But that gives the next owner a chance to create the exact rooftop experience they want.
About Santamar in Punta Sur, Akumal
Santamar is a resort-style residential community in Punta Sur, Akumal, known for its coastal setting, modern condos, rooftop pools, gym, wellness amenities, BBQ areas, and access to beach club-style amenities. Multiple pools, rooftop pool areas, fitness facilities, beach club access, and 24-hour security are what creates the Santamar lifestyle.
The area is peaceful, natural, and much quieter than central Playa del Carmen or Tulum. That is a major part of the appeal.
This is ideal for buyers who want:
- Akumal calm
- Caribbean views
- a slower coastal rhythm
- beach club access nearby
- a private rooftop lifestyle
- a home base between Playa del Carmen and Tulum
It is worth being clear: most owners will want a car here. You can walk the shoreline to beach clubs in roughly 15 to 20 minutes in either direction, but daily conveniences are not right outside your door. That trade-off is also what helps keep Punta Sur feeling peaceful and uncrowded. And yes, there is plenty of parking!
Investment Perspective
Could this condo be rented when you are not using it? Yes.
Santamar has active vacation rental demand, and there are many units already operating in the development. That said, rental competition inside the complex is real, and buyers should be thoughtful about expectations. With many similar units available, nightly rates can be competitive.
For that reason, we see this property as best suited for a lifestyle-first buyer, especially a snowbird or seasonal owner who wants personal use first and rental income as a bonus.
If you are buying purely for maximum rental returns, we should have that conversation honestly.
If you are buying because you want sea views, rooftop potential, Akumal peace, and a motivated price, this one makes a lot more sense.
Why Akumal Works
Akumal continues to perform well with buyers because it offers something different from Tulum and Playa del Carmen.
It feels quieter, greener, and more natural, while still being centrally located in the Riviera Maya. From Punta Sur, you are close to Akumal Bay, Tulum Country Club, PGA Riviera Maya Golf, ,cenotes, beach clubs, restaurants, and some of the region’s best coastline.
For many buyers, Akumal offers the version of Riviera Maya living they were actually hoping to find: more nature, less noise, and a slower pace near the sea.
