La Reserva Tulum: Co-Lab Design Residences in Region 15

42 homes on one hectare, 80% kept as green space — final units available

Set on a single hectare in Region 15, across from Aldea Zama. La Reserva Tulum is a 42-unit residential development designed by Co-Lab Design Office, with studios through three-bedroom residences and penthouses. Units start at 593 sq ft (55.2 m²) and from $265,000 USD (approximately $4,558,000 MXN). The development is in its final phase, with a mix of move-in-ready and preconstruction units remaining.

La Reserva sits in Region 15, Tulum’s western expansion zone, directly across from Aldea Zama — the town’s most established residential area and its nearest commercial strip of restaurants and services. The location keeps that proximity while holding the larger footprint and lower land cost Region 15 still allows. Tulum International Airport and the Tren Maya station are both a few minutes’ drive, which is the zone’s structural long-term advantage.

What makes La Reserva Tulum a distinct product in the market?

La Reserva is not priced as a Region 15 entry point. It is priced as a Co-Lab Design product, and the two are different things. Co-Lab Design Office is an architecture firm whose work has been published by Architectural Digest, Vogue, Dezeen, and EST Living, and was nominated to the AD Top 100. The finish level shows it: natural stone floors, floor-to-ceiling hardwood carpentry, double-height mezzanines, energy-efficient glazing, central air conditioning, and private gardens, with a custom Co-Lab furniture line available. The sustainability infrastructure is specific rather than gestural — a communal solar PV plant across the third-floor rooftops developed with Tesla and Solarfuel, five-stage wastewater treatment feeding automated irrigation, a central reverse-osmosis drinking-water plant with a four-day backup, green roofs, and organic-waste composting — developed with Ron de Gruyter, former Director of Regen Villages NL, toward the stated goal of becoming Tulum’s first net-zero development. This is the quality the Adoro by Heron designation marks.

How does daily life work at La Reserva Tulum?

The site is built to function on its own. Only about 20% of the hectare is built; the rest is a 4,000 m² private jungle park wrapping all four sides of the buildings, which sit 45 meters apart and never rise above treetop height — a degree of separation uncommon in Region 15’s current pipeline. A 19 m (62 ft) community pool, organic restaurant, yoga and meditation pavilion, jungle library, and creative-space pavilion give the community a daily-life infrastructure that runs independently of outside services. Owners also receive a private cenote experience in Cobá, preferred access to IKAL Beach Club, and entry to community events at sister project Naum Tulum. The result suits an owner-occupier who wants design and quiet, and holds its case as a rental in a market crowded with near-identical new condos. It sits alongside other design-led Tulum properties in Heron’s portfolio.

Foreign nationals can own residential property in Region 15 with full rights; the right structure depends on your country of residence, tax position, and intended use, and Heron advises on how foreign buyers purchase property in Tulum.
