It includes the Holistika boutique hotel with yoga shalas, vegetarian restaurant, co-working space, weekly cacao ceremonies, meditations and sound healings in the main dome. The area attracts wellness professionals, premium digital nomads and buyers seeking privacy and nature connection, away from mass coastal tourism but with quick access (5-10 min) to beaches, restaurants and services.

Fully equipped kitchen. Rooftop terrace with panoramic jungle view. Private pool in integrated garden with native vegetation. Luxury finishes, sustainable materials, cross ventilation and biophilic design. Turnkey and furnished.
Does fideicomiso apply for foreign buyers?
Yes. Tulum is within Mexico's restricted zone (50 km from coast), so foreign buyers acquire via bank trust (fideicomiso), a standard legal vehicle regulated by Mexico's Foreign Investment Law. Approximate cost: $2,500-4,000 USD initial setup plus ~$600 USD annual maintenance. Term: 50 years, renewable indefinitely. Grants full ownership rights — use, sale, inheritance, rental, modification.
Is the property furnished and move-in ready?
Yes. Villa Kaan is delivered fully furnished, with equipped kitchen, ready bathrooms, operational electrical and plumbing systems. Turnkey means it can be occupied immediately for personal use without additional investment in furniture or setup.
How close is the property to Tulum's beaches and services?
Holistika is approximately 5-7 minutes by car from downtown Tulum Pueblo (restaurants, supermarkets, services) and 10-15 minutes from the beach hotel zone. Cenote Calavera is less than 5 minutes away. The location combines jungle privacy with quick access to all of Tulum's infrastructure.
Can Villa Kaan be used as a vacation rental?
Villa Kaan is delivered furnished and equipped, and ownership, whether direct or through a fideicomiso (Mexican bank trust), includes the right to rent it out. What determines whether it can be rented by the night or by the week are the current rules of the Holistika community, so before buying with that plan it is worth asking the community administration in writing whether it allows short-term rentals and under what conditions: minimum stay, guest registration, additional fees or permits. Nautilus Real Estate does not publish income, nightly rate or occupancy projections for this villa: they depend on those rules, the season and who manages it, and any general figure would be a promise nobody can keep. This listing does not yet document the villa's fixed costs (utilities, property tax and, if applicable, a community fee), so it is worth getting them in writing before running any numbers. If you decide to rent it out, we help you get the manager's proposal in writing and go through it with you before you sign.
