Beach Club and Spa Construction in Playa del Carmen
Playa del Carmen built its name on beach clubs: the strip around Calle 28 and the Mamitas beach, the clubs of Playacar, the quieter beaches of Punta Esmeralda and Xcalacoco to the north. Behind the beach, the town has also become a wellness hub, with yoga studios, spas and retreats in Playacar, Corasol and the centre. We build and renovate both, on a coast where erosion and sargassum change the beach every season.

A beach that changes every year
Playa del Carmen’s central beaches have seen severe erosion, sand replenishment and seasonal sargassum. A beach club here needs structures that can be partly dismantled, decks and furniture zones set back from the high-water line, and drainage that copes with tropical rain. We design with the history of the specific stretch of beach and the club’s ZOFEMAT concession in mind.

- ZOFEMAT concession for the federal maritime zone, with its terms on structures.
