Casa Shalva — frequently asked questions

Is Casa Shalva beachfront, and what is walkable?
No. Casa Shalva is in gated Aldea Premium within Aldea Zama. A guest review mentions cafés, shops, and restaurants within a short walk.
Is chef service included?
Chef service is not listed as included and can be arranged as a paid experience.
Can a large group dine or take a wellness class together?
The villa works for intimate group stays, but it is not the strongest choice for very large full-group dinners or 40-person wellness sessions.
Is Tulum a good destination for a group trip?
Yes. Tulum works especially well for groups that want a mix of private-villa time, beach days, dining, wellness, excursions, and nightlife. The experience changes considerably by location. Some villas are directly on the beach, some are central and close to restaurants, and others are private jungle estates. We will help you choose the area that matches the way your group wants to spend the trip.
Which part of Tulum is right for our group?
It depends on the rhythm you want. The Beach Zone puts the coast, beach clubs, and restaurants closest. Aldea Zama is central, polished, and convenient. La Veleta feels more residential and creative, with cafés and casual nightlife. Region 15 and other jungle areas offer more privacy and a stronger villa-first experience. We will explain the real tradeoffs in access, noise, roads, and transportation for the property you are considering.
How long does it take to reach Tulum?
Tulum is approximately 40 minutes from Tulum International Airport and about 1 hour 45 minutes from Cancún International Airport. Actual travel time depends on the villa, traffic, and road conditions. Our concierge can arrange airport transfers and coordinate different arrival times for the group.
