Villa Mao — 7-Bedroom Villa in Los Santos, Aldea Zama, Tulum

1,230 m² of construction, infinity rooftop pool, indoor spa — the largest private villa footprint currently available in Aldea Zama.

Villa Mao is a seven-bedroom villa in Los Santos, Aldea Zama, Tulum, listed at $4,150,000 USD (approximately $71,380,000 MXN). The multi-level property offers 1,230 m² (13,239 sq ft) of construction on an 890 m² (9,580 sq ft) lot, with 6.5 bathrooms, a ground floor lap pool, an indoor spa and solarium lounge, and a full rooftop level with infinity pool, jacuzzi, 10-seat bar, firepit lounge, BBQ kitchen, and private office. All seven bedrooms include private bathrooms, walk-in closets, balconies, and safes — the two master suites additionally feature jacuzzis and double rain showers. The villa accommodates 14 guests and runs on a solar energy system with backup generator. It is located within the Los Santos gated community inside Aldea Zama.

What makes Villa Mao a well-positioned asset in the Tulum market?

At $3,374 USD/m² ($313/sq ft), Villa Mao sits below the Aldea Zama villa benchmark of $4,000–6,000 USD/m² — a position that reflects the natural price per m² compression that occurs at this scale, where the sheer volume of construction at 1,230 m² distributes the cost across a footprint that smaller villas cannot match. The relevant comparison is not the zone average but the replacement cost: a villa of this specification — dual pools, rooftop bar, indoor spa, solar infrastructure, seven bedroom suites all with private bathrooms and balconies, in a gated community within Aldea Zama — cannot be built at this price point in the current Tulum construction market. The rooftop level alone — infinity pool, jacuzzi, 10-seat bar, firepit, BBQ kitchen, private office, and panoramic views — represents a configuration that functions as a self-contained entertainment floor above the main residence, a format that is rare in Tulum’s villa inventory at any price. The solar energy system with backup generator adds operational independence that supports both personal use and rental performance by eliminating exposure to CFE outages, which are a practical concern for high-occupancy properties. Los Santos provides resort-grade community infrastructure — pool, gym, padel court, solarium, and 24/7 gated security — that extends the amenity offer beyond the villa’s own considerable private facilities.

What is Los Santos and what does Aldea Zama offer as an address?

Los Santos is a gated luxury residential community within Aldea Zama — Tulum’s most established master-planned neighborhood, with paved roads, underground utilities, a commercial corridor, and direct road connectivity to the beach, the Tulum archaeological zone, and Downtown Tulum. Aldea Zama is the reference point for pricing and liquidity across the Tulum market — it consistently absorbs buyer demand first when the market moves and has produced the most documented resale transactions of any Tulum zone. For a property of this scale — designed for groups, multigenerational living, or premium short-term rental — the location’s infrastructure, walkability, and established identity are material advantages. The commercial strip adjacent to Los Santos gives residents and guests immediate access to restaurants, cafés, and services without a vehicle. Foreign nationals can purchase residential property in Aldea Zama with full ownership rights. The right legal and ownership structure depends on the buyer’s country of residence, tax situation, and intended use — Heron Real Estate provides personalized advisory on this as part of every acquisition.
