Villas de Coco | 2 Bedroom Coconut Fiber Villa in Región 15, Tulum

📍 Location Región 15, Tulum 🌴 Position Manzana 189 on 25 Poniente bis, eight minutes from Tulum Beach

The Idea

The walls are made of coconut husk. Not clad in it, not accented with it. The structural walls of this house are built from coconut fiber, an agricultural byproduct that Quintana Roo produces in volume and usually burns or buries. Thirty centimetres thick. That single decision changes everything downstream, and it is the reason this house does not look, feel, or behave like the concrete boxes going up around it.

The House

Three levels, 210 m² / 2,260 sq ft of construction on a 145.7 m² / 1,568 sq ft lot. The ground floor opens as one continuous run: integral kitchen with stone countertops and custom hardwood cabinetry, breakfast area, pantry, living room, half bath, and floor to ceiling glass sliding back onto a private plunge pool and a 19 m² / 205 sq ft garden. One parking space.

The second level holds both bedrooms, each with a full bathroom, custom wardrobes in woven cane and hardwood, and the acoustic quiet that thick fiber walls produce naturally. Morning light comes through sheer curtains onto the canopy.

The third level is given over entirely to leisure. A rooftop garden with a built in bar and open views across the Región 15 treeline, which at this height means jungle in every direction rather than the neighbours.

The Material

Coconut fiber walls provide thermal and acoustic insulation that concrete cannot. Interiors stay cooler and quieter without leaning on air conditioning, which is the practical benefit a buyer feels every single day in Tulum. The developer reports that the walls absorb CO2 as they cure and continue to strengthen with age rather than degrade, and cites annual energy savings above 60 percent against conventional construction. These are the developer's figures and are not independently certified. Buyers should request the supporting documentation directly.

Around it, the architecture is built to move air. High ceilings, large format windows, cross ventilation designed so heat rises and escapes rather than collecting. The house breathes.

The Water

In place of a conventional septic tank, the project runs a biodigester paired with a constructed wetland. Organic matter breaks down biologically, then plants and natural substrates finish the purification before water returns to the ground. In a town built on a limestone shelf riddled with cenotes and underground rivers, that is not a marketing gesture. It is the difference between a house that sits on the aquifer and a house that protects it.

The Position

Región 15 sits between La Veleta and the coast, with Aldea Zamá across Avenida Kukulkán. This particular pocket, Manzana 189 on 25 Poniente bis, keeps a high density of original vegetation and quiet streets, and reads as a neighbourhood built for people who actually live here rather than a corridor of short term rental inventory. The immediate surroundings include Atman Residences, Mistiq Gardens, Naia Tulum, and Jungle Villas. Eight minutes to the sand.

The Scarcity

There are two villas. That is the entire project. Unit 1 currently serves as the showroom and is ready for immediate delivery. Unit 2 is under construction with delivery projected for 2027. When both are placed, there is no third.

The Terms

List price 7,950,000 MXN per villa, approximately $461,000 USD at current rates, which works out to roughly 37,857 MXN per square metre of construction. Three payment structures are available:

• Cash. 90 percent on signing with a 5 percent discount, 10 percent on delivery.
• 30 60 10. 30 percent down, 60 percent across construction interest free, 10 percent on delivery.
• 50 40 10. 50 percent down, 40 percent across construction interest free, 10 percent on delivery.

USD figures move with the exchange rate. Pricing is set in Mexican pesos.

Ownership

Tulum sits inside Mexico's restricted zone, within 50 km of the coastline. Foreign buyers acquire through a fideicomiso, a bank trust granting full rights of use, lease, sale, and inheritance, or through a Mexican corporation where the use case supports it. Standard, routine, and handled at closing.
