A different way of living Tulum

At Selvarum we believe that having a home in the jungle and caring for the environment can go hand in hand. That is why we created a residential development where sustainability is not merely proposed: it is practised and learned. Compost, native bees, a nursery, an edible forest and systems designed to reduce our footprint and give life back to the land.

More than a subdivision, we are building a community of people who share a more conscious way of inhabiting the jungle.

Our Solar Maya

Permaculture Centre

Over 10,000 m² devoted to producing, conserving and learning.

Inspired by the Solar Maya —where home, orchard, animals, trees and bees traditionally live together— our Permaculture Centre works as a living amenity.

Here you can see first-hand the processes of composting, stingless-bee keeping, plant propagation, food production and responsible resource management.

It is not a decorative garden. It is a living system that is already running.

Learn it and replicate it

Selvarum wants every resident to bring sustainable practices into everyday life.

Learn to
  • Make compost from your own waste.
  • Grow food in your own space.
  • Propagate and care for plants adapted to the environment.
  • Get to know and protect native bees.
  • Understand where the products you consume come from.

Sustainability stops being a concept and becomes a daily practice.

Natural cenote

At the heart of Selvarum

At the centre of our project lies an open natural cenote, integrated as one of Selvarum's most special amenities.

A space that is part of the land's original landscape, one we aim to conserve, respect and enjoy responsibly, keeping its natural relationship with the jungle.

Rather than creating an amenity, we chose to give value to something that was already here.

The Ring

At the heart of the Solar Maya stands a monumental ring inspired by the Ball Court of Chichén Itzá.

Designed and built following the movement of the stars, it works as a symbol of regeneration, nature and Maya culture. During the full moon, the moon visually occupies the centre of the ring.

A piece that embodies the relationship between culture, territory and nature that inspires Selvarum.

The Tulum to come

Why Selvarum?

Tulum is entering a new stage. Against a market dominated for years by projects focused on vacation rentals, Selvarum proposes something different: a development designed to be lived in.

For those who want to live here, stay for longer seasons, build community and have a more conscious relationship with the place they chose.

The Tulum to come will be more conscious, more mature and more human.

Your home, your way

Residential lots

Lots to build a single-family home within a condominium regime with building regulations, designed to keep the development in harmony and protect the value of every property.

Lots of various sizes where your house, garden, orchard, compost, native plants and even your own stingless-bee hive can live together.

What you see working at Selvarum, you learn to replicate at home.

Tulum's new residential district

Selvarum sits in an area planned for Tulum's residential growth under the Urban Development Plan.

A location that lets you be part of a new stage for the city: more residential, better connected and designed for those looking to make Tulum their home.

BioVillas

Soon you will be able to choose a Selvarum BioVilla: bio-construction homes designed with you, for those who want to live inside the project without building their home from scratch.

An alternative built on the same principles as Selvarum: design, nature and a more conscious way of building.

Selvarum is not for everyone —and that's fine.

We are looking for people who share our vision: those who love nature, respect the local culture and want to be part of a community seeking to inhabit the jungle in a different way.
