Custom home builder in Tulum.
PlayaBuilder designs, permits and builds luxury custom homes and related projects in the Tulum region of the Riviera Maya — including nearby Xpu-Ha — for owners who often live abroad.
Sereno in Xpu-Ha, on the Tulum coast.
PlayaBuilder built the Sereno model residence designed by OZ Architecture, with interiors by Emiko Design, and coordinated design and permitting for a planned 50-unit development (designed and permitted, not built). It is our clearest published proof of work on the Tulum-region coast.

Stricter environmental review
Tulum’s rules are tighter than many parts of Solidaridad because of the underground river and cenote system. Plan more time for environmental and land-use checks before design is final.
Utilities on jungle lots
Municipal water, power and sewer are not always at the lot. Price those systems before you price the land.
Coastal materials still apply
Heat, humidity and salt air still drive detailing — same discipline PlayaBuilder uses across the Riviera Maya.
Base construction range
New custom homes with PlayaBuilder run 22,000–35,000 MXN per m² of construction, excluding land. Location add-ons (site work, utilities, studies) sit on top of that range.
