La Veleta is the fastest-growing residential zone of Tulum — more affordable than Aldea Zama and with the best vacation-rental ROI, in high demand from investors. A boho-chic style dominates (chukum, wood, natural tones). Being in the municipality of Tulum, every project requires SEMA environmental authorization ($50,000–$150,000 MXN, 2–4 months); jungle lots need a land-clearing permit with reforestation, and many include a cistern and water treatment. We handle SEMA and coordinate everything friction-free — ideal for investors who do not live here.
| Type | MXN/m² | USD/m² |

| New boho-luxury villa | $20,000–$30,000 | $1,100–$1,650 |
| Ultra-luxury (chukum, signature design) | $30,000–$40,000+ | $1,650–$2,200+ |
