Brief

A luxury eco-resort designed to harmonize with its tropical environment through sustainable architecture.

Nestled along the pristine coastline of Tulum, this boutique eco-resort was designed to immerse guests in the natural beauty of the Yucatán Peninsula while offering modern comfort and sustainable luxury. The resort includes 18 private villas, a beachfront restaurant, wellness spa, and yoga pavilions, all carefully integrated into the surrounding jungle and dunes.

The design embraces local materials such as bamboo, thatch, and locally-sourced stone, maintaining a low environmental footprint and respecting the delicate ecosystem. Elevated pathways protect native vegetation and allow for natural water flow, while open-air structures minimize the need for artificial cooling.
