Project summary

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.

  • 147 branded residences, from one to three bedrooms
  • Roof gardens with infinity-edge pools and outdoor kitchens
  • Interiors in chukum, natural wood and exposed concrete, with burnt sienna screens
  • Gated district anchored by the Faena Hotel and Faena Ocean Club
  • Minutes from Parque del Jaguar, the Tulum ruins and Tulum International Airport
  • Foreign ownership handled through a fideicomiso, required throughout Tulum's 50km coastal zone
  • Covered terrace with burnt sienna screens, Faena Tulum

  • Location – On Carretera Tulum Boca Paila, in a gated setting beside Parque del Jaguar, a short walk from the Caribbean.
  • Delivery is projected for 2027, with pre-construction pricing available while inventory lasts.
  • 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

    Find answers to the most common questions about our properties, services, and buying process. If you need more help, feel free to reach out to us

    Can foreigners legally buy a residence at Faena Tulum?

    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.

    How much do I have to pay up-front?

    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.

    How long does the purchase process take?

    The closing process, including the fideicomiso and notary registration, typically takes 60–90 days once the purchase agreement is signed.

    What's the best way to get Financing?

    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.

    What are the closing costs when buying in Tulum?

    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.

    How can I ensure the property I purchase has a clear title?

    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.

    How safe is Tulum?

    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).

    Where exactly is Faena District Tulum?

    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.
