Villa Renovation in Punta Sam, Costa Mujeres: from refresh to full repositioning
Older beach houses in Punta Sam are repositioned rather than demolished: structural check, new MEP, impact glazing, terraces and a pool facing Isla Mujeres. 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 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; anything on the beach or the lagoon shore needs a ZOFEMAT concession and environmental review, and mangrove cannot be cleared. 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.
