Villa Renovation in Isla Blanca, Costa Mujeres: from refresh to full repositioning
Isla Blanca beach houses are renovated to resist the most exposed coast in the area: hurricane-rated envelope, raised floors where needed and new off-grid systems. We renovate villas on the golf course and the canals of Costa Mujeres: from a cosmetic refresh before the season to a complete repositioning with new envelope, MEP, kitchens, baths, glazing and pool.

Villa Renovation in Isla Blanca, Costa Mujeres
Isla Blanca beach houses are renovated to resist the most exposed coast in the area: hurricane-rated envelope, raised floors where needed and new off-grid systems.
Low-density beach houses and small boutique projects on large lots; many are built from scratch, often self-sufficient, by owners who want privacy and nature rather than a gated community.
The setting: Narrow peninsula: open sea and Chacmuchuch lagoon
The most exposed sector: wind and salt from two sides, storm surge risk and sandy soil; structures are designed for hurricanes, raised where needed, with stainless or galvanised metalwork.
What a Costa Mujeres villa usually needs
Many villas here were built in the 2010s with good structure but finishes, glazing and A/C that now look dated next to new towers. Salt air attacks aluminium, metal and sealants, so a renovation usually combines a design update with envelope work that protects the investment for the next decade.
Renovating without losing the season
We phase the works around rentals and your visits, keep the site clean and secured inside the community, and close noisy stages within the allowed working hours.
Rules in this sector
Isla Mujeres municipal licence with DRO and, on coastal and lagoon lots, environmental authorisation and ZOFEMAT concession; municipal water, power and sewer are not available everywhere, so systems are designed per lot. Exterior changes (facade, colours, terraces, pool) normally need the community's architectural approval and a municipal licence with DRO; interior works need notice to security and registered crews.
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.
