The Awen Sells Out (and fast): Paving the way for a New Era of Luxury Living in Tulum

The Awen - located in Soy Tulum, within the majestic jungle, directly in front of the hotel zone. It is the first-of-a-kind in Tulum; a private, gated community with 24 hour security, on site amenities, a beach club which is walking distance from the project, as well as many other factors which lead to such a fast sell-out. The concept succeeded partially because it is more similar to developments people see in more established parts of the Caribbean such as St. Barts and Barbados. However this could truly be the new path of luxury taking place in Tulum - the crown jewel of Mexico.

Although sold out, there are re-sales available so if you wish to learn more about this please request more info and we'll be happy to email you all the details.

Many of the investors in this private gated community plan to either stake and hold while we wait for major infrastructural changes such as several, revered, 5 star hotels activating in the area soon as well as many other holistic projects such as wellness and anti-ageing clinics.

If you're wondering about the status of the project, there are already 3 luxury villas under construction inside the community and the amenities are all completed and being maintained daily.

If you wish to learn about building a villa in The Awen, its much easier than you might think; our L'topia team are selling turn-key villas with world class management and concierge services for prices starting at 1.5 million USD. These villas are not just revenue generators, but timeless generational assets to be enjoyed and shared with friends and family.

Why The Awen Stands Out

Unlike typical jungle developments or crowded condo towers, The Awen offers rare features that appeal to discerning buyers:

  • Unmatched proximity to Tulum Beach (only 900 meters away)
  • Strict single family home guidelines (no condos) - contact us for more information
  • Extra Large, Manicured Gardens
  • Secure private gated access with 24-hour security
  • Low-density, large-lot design preserving natural jungle beauty
  • Strict architectural guidelines to maintain aesthetic integrity
  • Modern underground utilities and fiber-optic internet
  • Optional eco-luxury villa development packages by renowned Mexican architects

This combination of privacy, sustainability, and luxury has attracted a diverse group of buyers, including international investors, digital nomads, and remote professionals seeking long-term residence and capital appreciation.

Changing Buyer Demographics in Tulum’s Luxury Market

The rapid sellout of The Awen highlights a shift from short-term tourists to a new wave of buyers:

  • Remote workers and digital nomads looking for serene, secure homes
  • Crypto investors and retirees prioritizing capital preservation
  • Early investors aiming to build, live in, or rent out luxury villas

These buyers value peace, security, and lasting investment value in one of Mexico’s most sought-after destinations.

What’s Next for Tulum’s Luxury Real Estate?

With The Awen fully sold out, attention turns to similar developments offering:

  • Large, private lots near the beach
  • Gated communities with upscale amenities
  • Sustainable infrastructure and thoughtful design

The future of Tulum’s luxury real estate market will likely focus on gated communities, branded residences, and curated living environments rather than speculative condo towers.
