Discover The Shell House on Isla Mujeres, a breathtaking Mexican island known for its clear water and stunning beaches.

The most unique and creative home you’re likely to feast your eyes upon, The Shell House, or ” Casa Caracol”  has been lovingly crafted to resemble a perfect sea shell, complete with incredible Caribbean views, a private pool, and easy access to shell and coral-studded beaches.

Sleeping up to 4 people in two separate shells, you’ll find every last detail has been thought about for an idyllic stay. The sunken living space with its circular couch is ideal for relaxing with your loved ones (and the occasional gecko!) while the large patio is perfect for al fresco dining. The walls are decorated with original art by Octavio Ocampo .

When it’s time to turn in, head up the circular stairs to the master bedroom. With its view-showcasing balcony, sumptuous shell-bath and a king size bed set under a spiral ceiling, you’ll feel like a celebrity! The ‘baby shell’ next to the main house is home to a second bedroom, also complete with shell-bath and a cosy king sized bed.

Friendly owner Raquel and your personal concierge are on hand next door to help your holiday get off to the best possible start.  Now it’s time to relax…you’ve just arrived in paradise itself.
