Luxury villas in Selvamar, Playa del Carmen
Design, licensing and construction of high-end villas, with remote control for the owner.
Selvamar is a residential community in Playa del Carmen built around protected green areas, with a development rulebook and management that reviews setbacks and trees. A luxury villa here sits between preserved jungle strips, inside the city but with a garden that feels wild.
Green areas that stay green
The community’s protected green areas and the trees on each lot are reviewed by management before construction. We map the trees, keep the ones that matter and design the house to borrow the neighbouring green as part of its view.
Family living, city services
Services are at the kerb and the city is minutes away, so the villa can focus on daily comfort: an open kitchen and living area onto the garden, a pool family members actually use, a studio for remote work and good storage.
A quiet, efficient build
Compact limestone, a deep water table and an internal subdivision road make construction straightforward. We keep the site tidy for neighbours, respect working hours and build with a structure that local crews execute well.

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.
