Somewhere between the reef and the jungle, minutes from both, there's a quiet residential community where mornings start with birdsong instead of traffic. That's Selva Escondida 2—a bright, modern 2-bedroom condo inside a gated community built around resort-style amenities, in the fishing-village-turned-hidden-gem of Puerto Morelos.

EVERYTHING THE RIVIERA MAYA IS FAMOUS FOR, CLOSE BY

Puerto Morelos sits between Cancún and Playa del Carmen, which means quiet, uncrowded beaches and easy access to everything else on the coast:

Just minutes away:

Puerto Morelos beach, town square, and the Mesoamerican Reef (the second-largest barrier reef in the world)—approximately 5–10 minutes
Crococun Zoo and the Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marín Botanical Garden—approximately 10–15 minutes
The jungle Cenote Route, with cenotes like La Noria and Verde Lucero—approximately 15–20 minutes

A short drive:

Cancún International Airport—approximately 20–25 minutes
Playa del Carmen—approximately 20–25 minutes
Cancún's Hotel Zone—approximately 35–40 minutes
Xcaret and Xplor Parks—approximately 35–40 minutes

Worth the day trip:

Xpu-Ha beach—approximately 50 minutes
Tulum and its ruins—approximately 1 hour 15–30 minutes

Between excursions, catch a boat to snorkel the reef, book a dive to the C-56 shipwreck, or walk into town for fresh seafood at one of the palapa restaurants on the square.

A CONDO MADE FOR RESTING WELL

The primary bedroom has a queen bed, air conditioning, and its own private balcony overlooking the community; the second bedroom has two twin beds, perfect for kids or travel companions. Every room has a ceiling fan in addition to A/C. The open living-dining area has two comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, and the fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook in when you'd rather not go out.

RESORT AMENITIES WITHOUT THE RESORT

This is what really sets Selva Escondida 2 apart: two swimming pools, a covered gym palapa overlooking the jungle, a basketball court, a pickleball court, a clubhouse with a BBQ area, an outdoor firepit for evening hangouts, a kids' play area, and a dedicated coworking space—all included as part of the community, all just steps from your door.

A COZY DESK, IF YOU NEED IT

There's a dedicated workspace with a desk inside the condo itself, plus the community coworking space downstairs—useful if your trip needs a few working hours mixed in with pool days, without needing to pack up and go anywhere.

A FEW HONEST NOTES BEFORE YOU BOOK

We believe in setting the right expectations: the kitchen doesn't include an electric kettle (tropical humidity is hard on small appliances that aren't used constantly), but there's a drip coffee maker ready to go. And if the night ever feels cool without the A/C running, extra blankets are folded and waiting in every bedroom closet.

Self-check-in with a 4-digit door code, one assigned parking spot right in front of the building, and a team reachable by phone throughout your arrival—so nothing catches you off guard.

Book Selva Escondida 2 and make Puerto Morelos your base for everything the Riviera Maya has to offer.
