3-Story 4BR Waterfront Villa w/Sunset Views. No Sargassum! | Villa in Maya Beach
4 Bedroom Villa in Placencia, Maya Beach
Welcome to Villa Vaya Vista! A 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom luxury waterfront villa with private chef included that is free of sargassum all year round!
Nestled on a private gated waterfront lot at the end of a quiet dead-end street in the prestigious Maya Beach area, Villa Vaya Vista is a stunning brand new 3-story custom concrete estate perched directly on the edge of the Placencia Lagoon. Open water views of the shimmering lagoon and the majestic Maya Mountains unfold from every level, and the sunsets here — watch as the sky erupts in color over the mountains and the lagoon every evening — are nothing short of spectacular.
Enter through the gates and you're immediately welcomed by attentive on-site staff who live in separate quarters above the garage and are available throughout your stay to ensure every detail is taken care of. The villa is located just a short walk from the Caribbean Sea and beach, and the on-site staff will happily set up beach chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, and paddleboards at the beach whenever your group is ready to head over. Access to the world-class Itz'ana Resort is also included, guests are warmly welcome to enjoy its stunning Caribbean beachfront, resort pool, and amenities just minutes away.
The ground floor of the villa is a true entertainer's paradise, a huge partially covered pool with a covered bar and entertainment area, flat-screen TV, sunken lounge seating, and a swim-up pool bar create the ultimate outdoor living experience. A private queen bedroom with en-suite bathroom is also on this level, along with a private workout room for those who want to keep up with their fitness routine. Head up to the second floor where three king bedrooms all overlook the lagoon, each with private en-suite bathrooms. The master suite features a private balcony, a large soaking tub, and a walk-in shower with lagoon views. The entire third floor is devoted to an expansive gourmet kitchen, large indoor living room, and a huge covered outdoor deck with dining area, pass-through window bar, and a gas BBQ grill — all framing those spectacular panoramic views of the lagoon and Maya Mountains.
**CHEF SERVICE**
Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed. Each chef day includes 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared fresh for your group. For example: a 6-night stay includes 3 chef days; an 8-night stay includes 4 chef days. You will only need to reimburse the chef directly for the cost of groceries. Nothing is marked up, and the chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions, and copies of all receipts. Food costs typically run $45–$50 per person per day based on the preset menu. Need the chef more often? Additional chef days can be added for $125 per day.
Grocery stocking service is also included with your stay. There is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive. The chef will purchase your groceries, and you only reimburse the items bought.
(+) Want to take it a step further? Enhance your chef service with our All-Inclusive Food Package for $75 per person per chef service day. The package covers all 3 meals, a fruit bowl, limited non-alcoholic beverages, and one lobster meal (in season) — with no additional grocery reimbursement required. Alcohol packages are also available. Ask our team for full details when booking.
