Selva Maya

Sunset light on the canopy at the edge of the corridor. Región 15 borders the jungle that the developers haven't yet built into — the residents who chose the corridor for the proximity to the trees take the late-afternoon bike ride to the edge.

Región 15 is the residential band that has absorbed most of Tulum's expansion over the past decade. The neighborhood sits inland of the hotel zone, west of downtown, and forms the corridor where new construction has organized around wide boulevards, lower density, and a residential rhythm distinct from the commercial pulse of downtown. The local infrastructure is now real — bakeries, specialty coffee, yoga studios, small grocery stores, the kind of restaurants where the cook knows the residents by name. Downtown Tulum and Avenida Tulum's commercial corridor are five to seven minutes by car or fifteen minutes on foot; the beach corridor and the archaeological zone are ten to twelve minutes east; the cenotes of the inland system — Gran Cenote, Cenote Calavera, Cenote Carwash — are five minutes by bike. The corridor's growth has been quick but the residential character has held.

Inside Selva Maya, the project reads as a villa collection scaled for the corridor — boutique density, drawn around private outdoor space. Each home spans 2,056 square feet across a layout that organizes living spaces around the cross-breeze and an exterior of pool, deck, and shaded outdoor room. Full-height openings pull the jungle light deep into the interior; the materials are honest — wood, stone, concrete, glass that respects the climate. The footprint was kept residential, not hotel-scaled, so the project reads as a small community of neighbors.

Seven villas in total, one still available, immediate delivery. Pricing at $518,646 USD. Selva Maya sits in Región 15 at the rare scale of a private villa with a pool inside Tulum's most active residential corridor — a footprint the denser condo projects cannot replicate. For the buyer who came to Tulum for the version of the city with a yard and a key, this is one of the most considered addresses in the neighborhood.
