Pool Construction in Playa Mujeres

Playa Mujeres villas have pools facing the golf course or the canal; we design shells for the high water table and infinity edges towards the view.

New villas on golf and canal lots, lots still waiting for construction, and condo buildings with golf or sea views. Clients are mostly North American and Mexico City owners building a second home or a rental villa.

The setting: Gated community: golf, marina and canals

Golf and canal lots are sheltered from the surf but humid and close to the water table; foundations, pool shells and docks are designed for fill soils and salt.

Groundwater and soil

The water table in Cancún is shallow and the ground is sand over limestone, so shells are designed against uplift and drained correctly during construction.

Equipment that survives salt

Pumps, heaters and fittings are placed in ventilated rooms and specified for coastal air; salt chlorination is set up correctly to avoid corrosion.

Rules in this sector

The community's architectural review (setbacks, heights, façades, roofs, colours) comes before the Isla Mujeres municipal licence with DRO; crews and trucks are registered with security, and docks follow the marina's rules. New pools and changes to the exterior need the community's approval and a municipal licence; rooftop pools also need the tower administration and structural calculations.

Managed for owners who live abroad

You get one English-speaking project manager and one WhatsApp group, a weekly photo and video report, a live budget and payments by milestone after each stage is checked; most owners only fly in for handover.
