Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Villa Kaan unique?
Villa Kaan combines three elements rarely found together in Tulum: design by Co-Lab Design Office (one of the region's most awarded tropical architecture studios), location within Holistika (Tulum's most established wellness community) and a turnkey 301 m² format with 3 bedrooms plus office, private pool and garden, ready for personal use or rental program placement.
Who designed Villa Kaan?
Designed by Co-Lab Design Office, the Tulum-based studio founded in 2010 by Joana Gomes (architect from University of Porto, former MVRDV Rotterdam) and Joshua Beck (Master in architecture from UC Berkeley).

Their most recognized Tulum projects include Tulum Treehouse, Casa Aviv, Villa Petricor, Casa Areca, Casa Tepui, Artia, Skyjungle and Essentia.
What is Holistika Tulum and why does the location matter?
Holistika is Tulum's most established wellness community, in the heart of the Mayan jungle. 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.
What are Villa Kaan's technical specifications?
301 m² of construction on a 301 m² lot. 3 bedrooms (master with terrace access) plus private office overlooking the garden. 2.5 bathrooms. Panoramic living-dining area open to the garden. 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 or placed in vacation rental program 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.
Is it a good vacation rental option?
Yes, especially given the 3+1 bedroom format that allows premium rates for families or wellness retreat groups, and being in Holistika with established demand from international wellness travelers. Properties with Co-Lab-signed design and Holistika location typically generate 6-9% gross rental yields under professional management, maintaining 65-75% annual occupancy in the current post-correction Tulum market.
