Tulum is one of the most attractive destinations in the Caribbean, thanks to its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and vibrant lifestyle. However, not all developments in Tulum respect the environment and the local community.
That’s why Cardinal Tulum stands out as a sustainable and innovative community that offers a unique opportunity for investors and residents who want to live in harmony with nature and enjoy a high-quality of life.
What is Cardinal Tulum?
Cardinal Tulum is a community of 20 exclusive townhouses in Selvazama, a new urban area in Tulum that integrates innovative architecture and sustainable design. Selvazama is a master-planned community that preserves 60% of the natural vegetation and promotes social and environmental responsibility.
Cardinal Tulum offers three types of townhouses with different sizes and features, ranging from 2 to 4 bedrooms, with private patios, plunge pools, outdoor bathtubs, and rooftop terraces.

Cardinal Tulum follows the concept of Slow Living, which promotes a balanced holistic well-being lifestyle that celebrates the connection among all living beings and nature. Slow Living is based on four pillars: health, ecology, awareness, and leisure.
Cardinal Tulum has a variety of amenities for its residents, such as a lobby, a coworking space, a swimming pool, a spa, an edible garden, a celestial observatory, a fire pit, a beach club, and a jungle playground.
