Carmela is the boutique-scale entregado play. Smaller building, premium hospitality finishes in common areas, the kind of property that earns 5-star reviews on every stay because every detail was held to a higher standard.
Carmela · curated by HAB Group Consulting
Total units, finite supply
Four-level buildings
Designed footprint
Higher nightly rate vs. generic Tulum stock
Three reasons Carmela's scale is the feature, not a limitation.
Smaller buildings mean less noise, less elevator wait, less "construction site" feel even after delivery. Reviews compound — and Carmela's scale stacks the deck in your favor.
Lobby, pool deck, landscaping are finished to hotel-standard, not standard-condo. Guests feel it. They post photos. They rebook.
56 units. Three buildings. Once the prime corner / top-floor / pool-view units sell, the back inventory is what's left for the rest of the cycle. There is no Phase 2. The math compresses fast.
Nightly rental ADR is a function of review velocity and review quality. A 5-star property charges 30–50% more than a 4.5-star property in the same neighborhood — and the gap widens every year.
Carmela's boutique format is engineered to push every stay toward 5-star territory. Less density, better common areas, less wear on touch points. The reviews come naturally.
For buyers who care about the long-run brand value of their listing, not just the short-run yield, Carmela is the format that compounds.
Spaces that photograph well and live well. Real interiors from the delivered units.
Riviera Maya — the address that drives nightly rate and review velocity in this market.
Material choices that lift listing photos into the top decile of the local comp set.
Shared spaces that earn the property a 5-star review — pool, lounge, the lifestyle stack.
Standard HAB structure: down at signing, monthly progress, balance at delivery. Exact figures per unit on the brochure — talk to Samantha for the live unit availability matrix.
Locks the unit, the floor, and the orientation. Fideicomiso paperwork begins in parallel.
Spread across the construction window. Pre-delivery walkthrough scheduled before hand-over.
Keys, fideicomiso registered, condo regime in place. Ready to occupy or rent immediately.
Yes — through a fideicomiso (bank trust) for properties within the restricted coastal zone. Tulum qualifies. Standard practice for the last 50+ years. We work with the same fideicomiso bank across HAB so the process is clean and repeatable.
Down payment at signing, monthly progress payments through construction, balance at delivery (Move-in ready). Specifics vary by unit; Samantha will pull the exact schedule for any unit on a 20-min call.
Move-in ready. Carmela is delivered and operational right now — you can rent or occupy immediately into the 2026–27 high season.
DarKitectos is the studio behind some of Tulum's most distinctive recent developments. The mindfulness brief shows up structurally — light wells, sound separation between units, indoor-outdoor flow, biophilic material palette. The result rents at the top decile of Tulum nightly comps from day one.
On certain units, yes — the pre-delivery walkthrough is structured to allow finish input where construction stage permits. Earlier reservation = more decision points. Ask Samantha which units still have finish-selection windows open.
Resale-before-delivery is allowed and HAB has helped buyers do this when life changes. Carmela's near-ready timeline actually makes pre-delivery resale particularly clean — pricing is generally favorable to early buyers.
No. HAB has a property-management arm if you want it, but you're free to use any Tulum operator you prefer. We can refer the operators we've seen produce the highest gross-yield numbers on similar stock.
