** Clarification for Summer Season (JUNE - JULY - AUGUST)
At Palapa Nah Balam, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to blend harmoniously with nature, offering a unique experience unlike the traditional city lifestyle. Our semi-open structure is naturally cooled through large openings, wide windows, and the ventilation provided by the shape of the roof.
For the hottest nights, we have installed an air conditioner strategically positioned above the main bed to provide additional cooling. This is complemented by ceiling fans and standing fans, ensuring enhanced air circulation and maximizing the fresh ocean breeze.
It’s important to note that the air conditioning is not designed to cool the entire palapa, as this is not possible given the property’s sustainable design. Unlike a fully enclosed home in the city, this space embraces an open, eco-conscious approach to comfort.
Here, the experience is different: waking up to the sound of waves, feeling the sea breeze, and reconnecting with a unique environment that celebrates simplicity, luxury, and harmony with nature.
We appreciate your understanding and are confident you’ll fall in love with this authentic and charming proposal. Welcome to the true spirit of Nah Balam!
