As the first week of November brought you below-freezing temperatures, nightly frosts and – in some places like Calgary – even snow, we were pleased to bring you the first three of our 25 Top Beaches series – Xcacel, Tulum North and Shangri-La. Have you been enjoying them? We’ve sure been enjoying getting them ready for you, picking out the best beach areas, preparing pictures and videos, and making sure you know what they offer and where they are here in our Playa del Carmen real estate territory.
As we start week 2, we bring you the fourth of the series, Xaman-Ha beach in Playa del Carmen. This is the second in-town beach, after Shangri-La which is located pretty much at the north end of the main action of downtown Playa del Carmen. Xaman-Ha beach takes us down to the south end of town, the upscale, gated community of Playacar.
The beach takes its name from the ancient Mayan name of Playa del Carmen, “Xaman-Ha,†which means “the place of the water.â€Â The ruins of the original religious site are located just inside of Playacar, surrounded by green vegetation, preserving the original natural jungle of the surrounding area. Playacar is a combination of beautiful, upscale homes and a very green community with plenty of trees and natural spaces. The bike trail running through the community is shaded by the trees making it very comfortable. Some of the homes are in the beachfront area, known as Phase 1, and others surround one of Playa del Carmen’s finest golf courses in Phase 2. The community also offers very nice condos.
In all cases, Playacar is located a walk or a short bike ride away from Xaman-Ha beach. This beach is part of the area that was recently re-widened and is now very spacious and open – an ideal place to enjoy the warm sun and comfortable water. Since Xaman-Ha is located in the Playacar neighborhood, it is quiet and exclusive – an ideal place to relax; yet is still only a short walk from the heart of downtown Playa del Carmen where you can enjoy bars, restaurants cafes and much more either directly on or very close to the beachfront.
Take a look at our page for Xaman-Ha beach. Watch the videos, see the pictures. Share with a friend, and let yourself dream about what life would be like here. Just remember, though, there’s no need to dream too long, when it could be a reality …
You can watch for our next Top Beach on Wednesday, Nov. 9, either on this blog, or on our Top Beaches site.
