Ambre et Epices — 8-Bedroom Villa in La Veleta, Tulum

Moroccan-Mexican architecture, two pools, commercial licenses in place — a rare dual-purpose asset in Tulum’s most established residential zone.

Ambre et Epices is an eight-bedroom private villa in La Veleta, Tulum, listed at $2,800,000 USD (approximately $48,160,000 MXN). The property offers 512 m² (5,511 sq ft) of construction across a Moroccan-Mexican architectural composition — a Moorish facade opening into Mediterranean-inspired interiors where indoor and outdoor spaces integrate through soft lines, ornamental detail, and lush tropical gardens. Each of the eight bedrooms includes a king-size bed, a private bathroom, and a bathtub or stone jacuzzi integrated into the suite. The property includes two pools — a 22 x 4 m main pool in the garden and a 3 x 3 m patio pool — alongside a jacuzzi, outdoor spa, and barbecue area. Accommodation, restaurant and bar, and commercial uso de suelo licenses are all current, as are construction and fin de obra certifications.

What makes Ambre et Epices a rare asset in the Tulum market?

The combination of characteristics this property brings together is structurally uncommon in Tulum’s real estate inventory. The architectural identity — a fusion of Moroccan and Mexican design executed across 512 m² with two pools, eight en-suite bedrooms, and a 22-meter main pool — is the result of a purposeful hospitality conversion that cannot be replicated at this price point. The commercial licenses in place are a significant asset: accommodation, restaurant and bar, and uso de suelo commercial certifications are current, giving the buyer immediate operational flexibility that would take considerable time and cost to establish from scratch in a new build. The infrastructure specification reflects a hospitality-grade property — an optimized 8-meter CFE connection, emergency generator, water filtration system, gas boiler, wastewater filtration, fiber optic, WiFi, and CCTV. The rooftop is currently under expansion, adding a further dimension to the property’s future configuration. Subject to permits, the property has potential to expand capacity, which would increase revenue performance and asset value simultaneously. La Veleta is Tulum’s most established residential zone — built out, liquid, and the reference point for pricing across the Tulum market.

What is the lifestyle and location offer at Ambre et Epices?

The property sits in La Veleta, five minutes from Tulum’s town center and 15 minutes from the hotel zone, where the most recognized beach clubs and restaurants on the Tulum coast are concentrated. The design creates a self-contained world within the property — the patio jacuzzi leads to the dining area and then onto the main pool and the Caribbean garden, where endemic trees provide a natural canopy that filters the light and reinforces the sense of refuge. Each bedroom suite is designed as an independent experience, with the bathtub or stone jacuzzi integrated architecturally rather than added as a fixture. The several lounges — lobby, open-space poolside lounge, and large oriental lounge overlooking the main pool — give the property a scale of social space that works equally for private residential use and for groups. Foreign nationals can purchase this property 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.
