Luxury villas in Ciudad Mayakoba
Design, licensing and construction of high-end villas, with remote control for the owner.
Ciudad Mayakoba is a new planned city west of Playa del Carmen, with services at the kerb, schools, parks and design standards set by the master plan. Luxury here means a family villa in a well-run neighbourhood, built quickly on easy ground with full urban services.
Services at the kerb
Power, water, drainage and paved roads are in place before you build, which removes the infrastructure surprises of newer coastal zones. We connect to the networks the master plan provides and spend the budget on the house rather than on transformers and treatment plants.
Design standards with room to breathe
Façade criteria, heights and setbacks are set by the community, but within a family-scale urban plan. We design generous indoor-outdoor living, a private pool and shaded terraces that fit the standards and make the most of the plot.
Easy ground, fast programme
Compact limestone with a deep water table is the best ground on the coast. Foundations are straightforward and a basement or semi-basement is possible, which shortens the programme and opens design options.

Ciudad Mayakoba sits in the planned urban band: low salt, compact limestone and services at the kerb. The figures are among the most predictable we quote; high-end finishes and a basement push towards the top.
How we run a villa at this level
A single contract covers concept, executive design and engineering, filings with the responsible engineer, construction with our own crews, special installations, pool, landscaping and handover with as-built drawings, datasheets and manuals. We coordinate the client’s architect or interior designer where one already exists; we do not insist on also being the authors of the design.
The budget comes out as line items with quantities and unit rates, and every change is priced and signed before it is executed. Payments go against verified progress on site, never against calendar dates.
Remote control and a handover ready to operate
Most of our clients are outside Mexico during construction: a weekly report with dated photographs, a fortnightly video call from site and a live budget available at any time. We work in Spanish, English, German, French, Russian and Chinese.
We hand over an operable house: equipment commissioned, a six-monthly maintenance plan, an inventory of critical spares and, if the property will be rented, the documentation the operator needs from day one. In the restricted zone a bank trust is the usual vehicle, and we coordinate notary and bank in parallel with the works.
