Quick answer: Yes. Mayan Mansion, an 8-bedroom mansion for rent in Playa del Carmen, has its own fully soundproof speakeasy in the basement, with a stone-top bar, a disco ball over a dance floor, and a soundproof room where the group can make plenty of noise without problems, plus a separate listening room designed by professional sound engineers, with twelve recliners on three tiers and a big screen. Both are for your group only.
Why these two rooms exist
Playacar is one of the most beautiful and secure places to stay in Playa del Carmen, and it has very strict noise rules. That’s usually where group trips run into trouble: the party has to stop just when it’s getting good.
Mayan Mansion solved that by putting the party underground. Mayan Mansion is a private 8-bedroom, 10-bathroom mansion for rent in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with its own soundproof speakeasy in the basement and a listening room designed by professional sound engineers, in the gated Playacar Phase 2 community, booked directly through PlayaDreams.
The speakeasy: what’s down there
Guests walk downstairs into a completely soundproof room with its own air conditioning:
- Emerald-green walls and arched display cabinets in fluted wood
- A long wooden bar with a stone top and six green leather stools
- A disco ball over an open dance floor
- Lounge seating around the room
- An antique carved Maya daybed, the centerpiece of the room
Upstairs, a round glass panel set into the living-room floor looks straight down into the speakeasy. It’s the first thing most guests notice, and the first photo they take.
Because the room is soundproof, Playacar’s noise rules don’t reach it. Inside, the group can make plenty of noise without problems — there are always limits, but the room is soundproof, and the neighbors never hear a thing.
Rose’s tip: Book a bartender for your big speakeasy night. You set the playlist, someone else makes the drinks, and the host gets to enjoy the party too.
The listening room: built for sound
The listening room is a different experience altogether. It was designed by professional sound engineers to feel like a high-end audio showroom: the room’s dimensions, acoustic materials and speaker placement were planned together, for that one room.
- Twelve gray leather recliners on three stepped tiers
- A fluted wood wall at the front
- A big screen for movie nights, concerts and the big game
- Its own air conditioning
Rose’s tip: Plan one “album night.” Everyone picks one album, and you listen start to finish in the recliners, lights down. Groups tell me it’s the night they didn’t expect to love.
How groups use both rooms
Most groups end up with a rhythm:
- Early evening: dinner by the pool, cooked by a private chef if you like
- Around 10 p.m.: when outdoor noise has to stop, the group moves downstairs to the speakeasy
- The quieter night: a film or an album in the listening room
- The morning after: the champagne brunch around the champagne bar in the kitchen, arranged for an additional fee
Who built the rooms
Building a soundproof room underground and a room tuned for sound are two of the hardest things in the house. Mayan Mansion was built by PlayaBuilder, a design-build firm that has built luxury homes in the Riviera Maya since 2005. You can read more about how the house was built.
