Hotel Classes We Build

Eco-Lodges

Low-impact cabins and treehouse hotels with off-grid water, power and wastewater.

Hostels & Economy

Efficient layouts, durable finishes and low running costs for budget travellers and long-stay workers.

Eco-lodges and guesthouses

Projects are small and nature-led: cabins, small blocks of rooms, pools set among trees. Construction keeps vegetation and uses local materials where they perform.

Serving the parks and cenotes

Visitors to Xel-Há, cenotes and beaches want an affordable base outside Tulum; economy and boutique hotels here fill that gap.

SEMA and karst

As part of Tulum municipality, SEMA comes first. Karst with voids needs a soil study before foundations, and wastewater treatment is required.
