A Relaxing Vacation Off the Grid        

Imagine meandering for miles on people-free beaches. What a relaxing vacation! Time to unwind and let your thoughts go off the grid. Ahhhh....you'll find powdered sugar soft white sand, coconut palms and azure blue Caribbean waters. Each morning take your coffee on your own private beach as you watch the sunrise and majestic brown pelicans soar overhead.  As evening approaches, you can wander to the other side of the retreat as the sun sets over the mangroves. You will likely see great white ibises, flamingoes and roseate spoonbills.

The Smiling Iguana is a unique Tulum eco-tourism destination, and caters to more discriminating and eco-conscious travelers. The Retreat is located two hours south of Cancun, near Tulum and is six miles inside the Sian Ka'an Nature Preserve. The property has both ocean and mangrove access.  A cozy hideaway for those seeking to get away from the urban buzz, we are the perfect answer for nature-lovers and those looking for something just a little different; something a bit more private, unique and special.

Spend the day kayaking in the endless mangroves or try snorkeling in the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world. The reef is just a stones throw from the Retreat. You will see trumpet fish, manta rays and schools of queen angelfish. Then again there is always time at the Smiling Iguana to just read a book, enjoy a cool drink, listen to the surf and swing in the hammock under a coconut palm.
