Mayab Tulum

Early afternoon at the corner café. South Tulum is the southern residential band where the first specialty coffee shops have anchored the daily rhythm of the new residential blocks — and the construction sites along the boulevard are still going.

South Tulum is the residential band that stretches south of downtown toward the highway extension. The corridor has absorbed much of the city's most recent expansion — wide new boulevards, residential lots still being mapped, the first generation of townhouse projects already breaking ground. The neighborhood pairs lower density with proximity to everything: downtown is five to seven minutes by car, the beach corridor is ten to twelve minutes east, the archaeological zone is ten minutes north, and the inland cenotes — Gran Cenote, Cenote Calavera, Cenote Carwash — are five to ten minutes by bike. The local infrastructure is still being written: the first specialty coffee shops, the first yoga studios, the first small grocery stores. South Tulum reads as the part of the city where the residents who came early stayed.

Inside Mayab, the project reads as a residential condominium scaled for the corridor — boutique density drawn around the jungle light. Each residence spans 646 square feet with a full-height opening to a balcony that faces the canopy, a kitchen drawn for someone who actually cooks rather than reheats, and a bathroom organized around the natural light. The materials are honest — wood, stone, glass — and the building's density was kept residential rather than commercial.

Forty-four residences in total, sixteen still available, delivery set for December 2026. Entry pricing begins at $199,514 USD. Mayab sits in South Tulum at the scale of a forty-four-residence boutique condominium on the corridor — an accessible entry point for the buyer who came to Tulum for the residential side of the city rather than the hotel zone. For the buyer at the one-bedroom scale ready to move inland, this is one of the most considered addresses in the neighborhood.
