Villa and Hotel Construction in Punta Maroma

Turnkey new builds in Punta Maroma: design, permits, foundation, structure and finishes under one contract, one site manager and one fixed price.

Recrea has been building houses in Punta Maroma, Punta Bete and the coast north of Playa del Carmen since 2008 — 196+ completed projects across the Riviera Maya. Our architecture, electrical, carpentry and ironwork crews are in-house, so your build does not depend on subcontractors who appear and vanish.

What a Boutique Hotel Costs to Build in Punta Maroma

Construction cost per key (finished room, excluding land and operations), with island logistics already included. A 12 to 20 key boutique hotel is the format that works best on the island.

What a hotel needs beyond the build

• Municipal operating licence and Civil Protection sign-off
• Wastewater treatment plant sized to occupancy
• Water supply and storage: cistern, pumping and, where needed, a desalination unit
• Contracted electrical capacity with CFE plus a backup generator
• Kitchen, laundry and service areas to health regulations
• Hurricane protection: glazing, closures and a season protocol

Construction Process Step by Step

This is how we run every new build, with the timings we actually see in Punta Maroma:

Total: 8 to 14 months of construction plus 3–5 months of design and permits.

Permits and Building Rules in Punta Maroma

Punta Maroma is in the Solidaridad municipality, but its zoning is hotel/tourism rather than ordinary residential: the height cap is 3 levels or 15 metres and land use has to be checked lot by lot before you buy. On top of the municipal licence with a DRO come the ZOFEMAT concession on the beachfront and the environmental authorisation, which carries more weight here than anywhere else on the coast because of the reef and the dune. Permits are granted sparingly: the project is designed to fit the rules, not the other way round. Lodging adds another layer: a land-use certificate with hotel designation — not every lot allows it, and it is the first thing we verify — the operating licence, Civil Protection sign-off, a CFE electrical project sized to occupancy and tourism registration. A restaurant open to the public adds health and capacity requirements.

The lot: what decides your foundation

Coastal dune over limestone: the finished floor level, respecting dune vegetation and managing runoff matter as much as bearing capacity. Full marine spec across the build — greater cover, protected rebar, anodised joinery, hurricane-rated glazing and reinforced waterproofing — because exposure here is direct, with nothing to break the salt wind.

Punta Maroma is the most exclusive beachfront north of Playa del Carmen, with hotel/tourism zoning and a 3-level or 15-metre cap. The product here is an exceptional residence or a very contained boutique project: permits are granted sparingly and the design is made to fit the rules.
