When an international buyer asks for the most ambitious residential area in Playa del Carmen, the answer has a name: Corasol. It's the only master plan in Riviera Maya combining 236 hectares designed from scratch as an integrated destination, architecture signed by Sordo Madaleno and CUAIK — two of Mexico's most recognized firms — with international hotel-level resort amenities and an inheritable lifetime membership system that secures the owner's lifestyle for generations.
This is the silent reason why Corasol maintains sustained appreciation in Playa del Carmen's ultra-luxury segment: it's not just another gated community with 24/7 security. It's a residential tourist community where every amenity — from the golf course to the sushi restaurant — was designed with destination vision, not subdivision mindset. That's why residents don't leave and resale supply is scarce.
This guide covers everything Corasol offers: Costa Beach Club with its 35 amenities, Gran Coyote Golf, The Park, the 3 paths to the sea, the 3 memberships with prices, the 6 residential products in the master plan, how it compares with Playacar, and the 2026 available inventory. Every detail is verified with official material from developer Origina.
Who develops Corasol?
Corasol is developed by Origina, one of Mexico's leading real estate developers with headquarters in Santa Fe, Mexico City (Torre Zentrum, Floor 14). Origina has 6 active projects: 2 in Mexico City (Origina Pedregal, Origina Santa Fe), 1 in State of Mexico (Valle de Bravo) and 3 in Quintana Roo. Its annual sales projection exceeds $4,000 million Mexican pesos, positioning it in the national top tier.
The master architectural team
- Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos (SMA) — architectural design of The Village and Palm Villas. 85 years of experience, one of Mexico's most recognized firms with residential, commercial and hotel work internationally.
- CUAIK Arquitectos — interior design and ambiance, materialized Costa Beach Club with more than 30 distinct amenities.
- Artigas Arquitectos — Punta Laguna and signature options at La Escondida (lots 16-32).
- Alonso y Asociados — structural project for the entire master plan.
- Fenix Farms — edible urban gardens with regenerative agriculture (landscape, edible and aromatic gardens).
Costa Beach Club: 42,000 m² with 3 named restaurants
Corasol's #1 competitive differentiator versus Playacar and the rest of Riviera Maya is the Costa Beach Club — a members-only beach club with 42,000 m² extension and 120 linear meters of private beach on the Caribbean Sea. It's the master plan's social and wellness heart.
Restaurants with named identities
Unlike other developments where the beach club has a generic "restaurant", Costa Beach Club operates 3 gastronomic concepts with their own identity:
- OPULA — Mediterranean cuisine with local ingredients, upscale-casual atmosphere.
- AMAKU — fresh sushi and Japanese food, contemporary sushi bar concept.
- FARETTO — pizzeria with wood-fired ovens, ideal for family and casual meals.
- Bar Arcos — main beach club bar under iconic architectural arches. Pool and beach service also available.
Spa with hydrotherapy ritual
The Costa Beach Club spa includes a complete hydrotherapy ritual: steam room, sauna, spa showers, jacuzzi, cold plunge, pool with hydromassage elements, and relaxation area. Additionally: 2 couples spa suites and 3 individual suites, complete locker rooms, showers and lockers.
Gym, kids club and water activities
- Professional gym — cardio, weights and strength, flexibility, Jungle Gym.
- Kids club and Toy library — organized children's activities.
- Water activities — kayak, paddle board, snorkel, water slide and pools.
- 4 pools — arches pool, family pool, kids pool, beach pool.
- Gourmet marketplace and candy shop inside the beach club.
- 35 enumerated amenities in the official Costa Beach Club master plan, including art gallery, marketplace, juice bar, ice cream shop, cafeteria, multi-purpose room, clubhouse, plaza, palm court, motor lobby and a speakeasy bar coming soon.
Private Owners Club
In addition to the members-only beach club, Costa Residences features an Owners Club — an exclusive space only for Costa Residences owners on the beach, with lounge, wine cellar and private rooms facing the sea. It's the most exclusive level of privacy within the master plan.
Gran Coyote Golf: 18 holes par 71 by Nick Price
Corasol's golf course was designed by Nick Price, World Golf Hall of Fame member and former world champion. Gran Coyote Golf is a championship course meticulously designed with strategic challenges for all skill levels.
Course technical data
- 18 holes par 71 — championship course.
- Designer: Nick Price — 3-time major champion, World Golf Hall of Fame member since 2009.
- Practice range included (driving range).
- Signature hole: #5 par 3 Hcp 17 with view of the green and large lake. Its two bunkers in front and behind complicate par attempts. Tee distances: 165 / 148 / 141 / 123 / 104 yards.
- Full integration with natural ecosystem: lakes, native vegetation and Caribbean views from several holes.
Investor tip: properties with direct golf course views at La Escondida (lots 720-850 m²), Palm Villas (estate homes 4-5 bed) and El Amate (golf front lots — currently sold out) capture the most appreciation by combining architectural exclusivity with permanent landscaping.
The Park: 14 sports amenities for the whole family
The Park is Corasol's sports complex, located adjacent to the golf course. It's a space surrounded by vegetation with facilities for all ages — from children at the pump park to adults at padel and pickleball.
Official master plan — 14 enumerated points
- Tennis court
- Pickleball court — the fastest-growing sport in North America.
- Padel court
- Basketball court
- Pump park — bike and skate circuit.
- Water park
- Batting cage
- Play area
- Main avenue · parking · loading area · access · restrooms.
Access to The Park is included in all 3 Corasol memberships — from the $21K USD golf-only membership to the $50K USD full membership. The Park complements the beach club by offering an alternative sports zone for days when members prefer physical activity over beach relaxation.
3 paths to the sea: Corasol's unique flexibility
A frequent buyer question: "do I need to pay membership to go to the beach?". The answer in Corasol is no — because the master plan offers 3 distinct paths to the sea depending on owner profile:
1. Corasol public beach — no membership
All Corasol owners have access to the community's public beach without additional membership or cost. This beach allows coolers, folding chairs and portable palapas — ideal for those who prefer enjoying the beach with their own supplies without the obligation to consume at a beach club.
2. Costa Beach Club — $40K USD membership
For the premium experience with 35 amenities, the 3 restaurants (OPULA, AMAKU, FARETTO), the spa with hydrotherapy ritual, gym, kids club and 4 pools: the Costa Beach Club membership at $40,000 USD for 10 years (or $50,000 USD if you include Gran Coyote Golf). Inheritable and lifetime for Origina-Corasol owners.
3. Mareazul Beach Club — exclusive to Mareazul owners
If you buy at Mareazul Beachfront, you access a beach club EXCLUSIVE only for Mareazul owners, completely independent from Costa Beach Club. This benefit is included at no additional cost when buying the property — no Costa membership required. It's the smart "shortcut" for buyers who want a private beach club but prefer not to commit $40K USD to membership.
Flexibility summary: buy at Mareazul → exclusive beach club included. Buy at any other property (Costa, Palm Villas, The Village, La Escondida, Punta Laguna, AWA) → choose between free public beach or Costa Beach Club membership. No one is left without sea access.
The 3 Corasol memberships with pricing
Origina-Corasol operates an inheritable and lifetime membership system that secures the owner's lifestyle for generations. Three levels available depending on usage scope:
| Membership | Price (10 years) | Includes |

Award-winning architecture: the Sordo Madaleno signature
The Village Resort & Residences is the flagship development of the Origina + Sordo Madaleno collaboration in Corasol. Designed with biophilic concept — where architecture "breathes" with the jungle — it won multiple international recognitions that validate the master plan's design level.

Protected nature: Cenote Park and Organic Gardens
Cenote Park — two cenote caves
At the heart of Corasol, two cenote spaces are preserved: one designed for family life and another pet-friendly, both for community enjoyment. Each park features cenote caves with trees and native vegetation, creating a wild landscape immersed in a protected natural environment.
Organic Gardens by Fenix Farms
Corasol operates 3 types of gardens with regenerative agriculture: Landscape Gardens, Edible Gardens and Aromatic Gardens. The initiative, in collaboration with Fenix Farms, promotes local cultivation and consumption, fosters a healthy and conscious diet, connects residents with nature and strengthens the sense of community.
