Own a Faena Residence in Tulum
147 branded residences woven into the jungle where the forest meets the Caribbean. Conceived by Alan Faena, designed by Brandon Haw Architecture, and anchored by a hotel, ocean club, art pavilion and healing house.
The Faena District in Tulum
Faena District Tulum is a master-planned district by Faena, the luxury lifestyle group founded by Alan Faena and Len Blavatnik, whose districts in Buenos Aires and Miami Beach reshaped both cities. In Tulum, the district sits in a gated setting near the hotel zone, embedded in protected jungle a short distance from the Caribbean. Architect Brandon Haw drew on the solidity of ancient Maya construction to design 147 contemporary residences that recede into the landscape.
Why Buy at Faena Tulum
Amenities
Faena Tulum is built around a district of shared spaces rather than a single amenity block. Owners have access to the Faena Ocean Club on the Caribbean shore, the Faena Hotel, an art pavilion for exhibitions and performances, and a wellness house rooted in ancestral healing practice, alongside a residents-only pool and fitness centre.
- Faena Ocean Club – floating pools, beach service, signature restaurant and bar on the Caribbean
- Faena Hotel – boutique luxury hotel with services extended to residents
- Faena Art Pavilion – exhibitions, performances and cultural programming within the district
- Tierra Santa Healing House – wellness and treatments grounded in ancestral healing traditions
- Faena Rose Members Club – the group's private membership community and events programme
- Residents' Pool & Fitness Centre – private to owners, plus retail, restaurants and a multipurpose events space
The Residences
The 147 residences range from one to three bedrooms, each a contemporary reading of ancient Maya construction. Raw concrete is softened by warm wood accents and a palette of sky blues, ochre yellows and dusty pinks, with interiors finished in chukum, the local polished plaster. Burnt sienna screens provide privacy and shade, casting golden light across terraces draped in forest greenery. Roof gardens carry infinity-edge pools and outdoor kitchens with panoramic views over the canopy, while interiors include fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms with double mosaic sinks and whirlpool tubs. Ground-floor homes open onto private garden plunge pools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Foreign buyers can own property within 50 km of the coast through a fideicomiso (bank trust), or via a Mexican corporation for commercial use, with full rights to buy, rent and resell.
Most pre-construction properties require a refundable deposit of $5,000 USD to secure the unit. Our properties are in high demand so this deposit secures the unit while contracts are drafted. Typically buyers make a down payment of 30% but larger down payments lead to larger discounts. The rest of the payments are made according to negotiable payment plans spreading the cost over the construction time, allowing investors to enjoy better liquidity before delivery.
The closing process, including the fideicomiso and notary registration, typically takes 60–90 days once the purchase agreement is signed.
For foreigners investing in Mexico, the best way to obtain finance is to do so at home. In the US, you may take a Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Line of Credit. Financing in Mexico is typically 8%-9% plus fees and involves a lengthy process.
Closing costs are typically 7% of the property value. This includes the acquisition tax, recordation fee, certificate of no liens, municipal appraisal, legal and closing fees, and public notary fees. The yearly property tax in Mexico is typically 0.1% of the property value. HOA fees typically start from $2.5 USD per square meter per month depending on the amenities included.
To ensure a property has a clear title, conduct a title search through a reputable notary or legal professional. This process verifies that the seller has legal ownership and that there are no liens or encumbrances on the property. Working with experienced local professionals can help navigate this process.
Tulum is safe. Recent data shows that the crime index is in fact lower in Tulum than in major cities of the United States, such as Miami (see here). Occasional violent incidents usually do not involve foreigners and tourists, but are rather restricted to disputes between cartels. As for every destination prized by tourists, the usual precautions do apply in Tulum when it comes to irregular activities and behaviour. Many tips are available on forums for first-time travellers to Mexico on how to avoid scams and theft (example here).
Faena District sits on Carretera Tulum Boca Paila, the beach road, in a gated setting beside Parque del Jaguar and a short walk from the Caribbean. It is minutes from the Tulum ruins and close to Tulum International Airport.
