Looking for a villa in Cancún for the December holidays? Short answer: book several months ahead and choose by group size. Sotavento ranges from Villa Punta Sam for 21 guests (from $2,588/night) to Azul Esmeralda for a more intimate stay of 14 guests (from $11,585/night). December brings dry weather, temperatures of 24–28°C and an unbeatable beachfront atmosphere, so here's everything you need to plan your holidays.
Why choose a villa in Cancún in December?
December is the best time of year in the Mexican Caribbean: little rain, calm seas and sunny days. A private villa gives you the space and freedom a hotel can't offer during the holidays, with a private chef and concierge so you can simply enjoy.
With Sotavento you can gather the whole family under one roof. Villa Bianca sleeps up to 20 guests (from $2,600/night) and Villa Punta Sam up to 21 (from $2,588/night), ideal for celebrating together without splitting the group across hotel rooms.
What are the best Sotavento villas for large groups in Cancún?
If you're coming with extended family or a big group of friends, these are your Cancún options:
Villa Punta Sam — 6 bedrooms, up to 21 guests, from $2,588/night.
Villa Bianca — 5 bedrooms, up to 20 guests, from $2,600/night.
Villa Sha — 5 bedrooms, up to 16 guests, from $3,300/night.
Azul Esmeralda — 6 bedrooms, up to 14 guests, from $11,585/night, for those wanting extra luxury.
All include concierge and an optional private chef, perfect for festive dinners without leaving home.
Which villa should I pick for a more intimate getaway?
Not every group is large. For couples, small families or a trip with close friends, consider Casa Enmar (5 bedrooms, up to 12 guests, from $3,393/night) or Azul Casa Del Mar (6 bedrooms, up to 14 guests, from $4,337/night).
Both offer the privacy of a beachfront villa with Sotavento's personalized attention, ideal for unwinding away from the crowds and welcoming the new year in peace.
