Villa Renovation in Playa Mujeres: from refresh to full repositioning
The first Playa Mujeres villas are now old enough to reposition: new glazing towards the golf or canal, updated MEP, bigger terraces and outdoor kitchens. 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.
What we do
Cosmetic refresh
Paint, floors, lighting, fixtures and carpentry updated without touching the structure.
Full interior
Kitchens, bathrooms, floors, doors, A/C and electrical rebuilt room by room.
Complete repositioning
Layout changes, new facades, impact glazing and terraces for resale or premium rental.
Waterproofing and envelope
Roof membranes, sealants and facade repairs against salt and storms.
Pool and terraces
Pool resurfacing, equipment, decks, pergolas and outdoor kitchens.
MEP and smart home
New wiring, panels, efficient A/C, water treatment and home automation.
Villa Renovation in Playa Mujeres
The first Playa Mujeres villas are now old enough to reposition: new glazing towards the golf or canal, updated MEP, bigger terraces and outdoor kitchens.
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.
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
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. 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.
