Faena Tulum is a cultural-residential master plan conceived by Alan Faena —the same creator of Faena Buenos Aires and Faena Miami— integrating residences, hotel, ocean club, wellness center and art pavilion into a single community on Avenida Cobá, in Tulum's Hotel Zone. Architecture is by Brandon Haw Architecture (former Senior Partner at Norman Foster), drawing from the solidity of ancient Maya construction to design contemporary homes that merge into the jungle: raw concrete softened with warm wood accents, a palette of sky blues and ochres, interiors crafted with local chukum plaster and burnt sienna privacy screens that cast golden light across terraces.
The 147 residences —ranging from 1 to 3 bedrooms— operate under Accor Branded Residences. The entry unit is FAE3-1A-102, a Type A Ground Floor 1-bedroom, 1-bath of 81.5 m² (877.3 ft²) with amenities view, listed as available on the developer price list.

Services included in the fee: Owner Relations Manager, Concierge, Doorman & Valet, 24/7 Security, common-area maintenance and poolside F&B.
