Luxury villas in Punta Brava
Design, licensing and construction of high-end villas, with remote control for the owner.
Punta Brava is a private residential stretch in Puerto Morelos, reached by a private road off the highway, on sand and coastal rock with the protected reef close by. A luxury villa here is built on a calendar set by the environmental file, because the reef makes this one of the most watched coasts in the state.
The reef sets the calendar
The Puerto Morelos reef is a protected national park, and coastal works nearby are scrutinised closely. The federal environmental file, with its conditions on runoff, lighting and construction methods, sets the calendar; we prepare it first and plan construction around its conditions.
Coastal rock and sand
Unlike pure sand beaches, parts of Punta Brava have coastal rock at or near the surface. We investigate the ground in each part of the footprint, because rock and sand side by side need different foundations under the same house.
A private road and private neighbours
Access is by a private road, and neighbours are private homes. We agree delivery times and road use with the owners’ association, protect the road surface and keep the site discreet.

Punta Brava sits with the front-row coast: severe salt, a very high water table and federal reef-coast filings. Mixed rock and sand foundations and the environmental conditions shape the budget.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the environmental file so important in Punta Brava?
Because the protected Puerto Morelos reef is close offshore. Conditions on runoff, discharge, lighting and construction methods are strict, and they set the programme.
Is the ground in Punta Brava sand or rock?
Both, often under the same lot. We investigate the full footprint so foundations suit each part of the ground.
