Candela is a collection of 12 exquisitely designed private villas surrounded by the leafy jungle, minutes from the pristine Caribbean beaches of Tulum, Mexico. Envisioned to honor the natural environment, Candela villas are situated around a botanical, garden-style arboretum, immersing residents in a pristine jungle setting. Unlike any other residential offering in the region, Candela presents absolute privacy, intentional luxury and a community built upon holistic wellness, resulting in an effortless living experience meant for enjoying the celebrated lifestyle of Tulum. . ARCHITECTURE Candela is the result of the extraordinary, environmentally conscious vision of Architects Salvador Macias and Magui Peredo of Estudio Macias Peredo who have designed some of the country’s most celebrated projects, garnering multiple national and international awards along the way. Their work is reconciled with local traditions and blends the use of local materials in a creative, contemporary approach. A homage to Tulum’s ancient Mayan culture in both look and feel, villas present a compelling juxtaposition that merges past with present day. It’s this rare duality—pyramidal-shaped structures resembling ancient archeological ruins blending in harmony with fresh, contemporary interiors—that creates an authentic, modern living experience that honors the history of Tulum. ELEGANTLY REFINED INTERIORS A canvas for individual expression, villa interiors at Candela showcase the contemporary, sophisticated vision by the esteemed designers at Habitación 116 . Airy, open spaces showcase elegance through simplicity, meticulous attention to detail, with hand-sculpted features and modern finishes, while locally sourced, organically inspired materials, such as wood and natural stone, are found throughout each space in the expansive villas. AMENITIES & SERVICES Rooted in a mission to improve quality of life for residents, Candela has designed amenities and services to support holistic health, focusing on an integrative approach that nourishes each aspect of one’s well-being—physical, emotional, intellectual, environmental, spiritual and social. From thoughtfully designed central spaces to each carefully curated experience, Candela inspires and elevates daily life. THE ARBORETUM: Fostering a Sense of Community Reminiscent of an ancient Mayan settlement, villas surround a central, modern arboretum, a botanical garden-like setting beneath the shade of the jungle trees at the heart of Candela. Designed for intimate gatherings and grand festivities, The Arboretum provides a source of restoration, connection and engagement. Here, slow mornings lead to long, casual afternoons that heat up as the sun sets and the jungle comes alive. Secluded walking paths, communal fire pits, observation zones and casual lounge areas are anchored by El Santuario, a temple-like structure that hosts yoga classes and gatherings, making the destination an integral part of everyday life at Candela. UNRIVALED EXPERIENCES AWAIT Sun-soaked days meet lively nights in Tulum, blending wellness and respite with celebration and engagement. Through world-class, chef-driven activations, live music and festive, wellness-focused rituals, Tulum embraces a distinctive spirit all its own. Candela places owners just minutes from the newly constructed and soon-to-be-opened beach road, Av. Kukulcán, which connects Downtown Tulum to the beach and provides direct access as well as the opportunity to retreat as one pleases. SUSTAINABILITY Candela sits within a new area earmarked by the Mexican government for high-end, low-density development, ensuring privacy and views will be preserved for generations to come. Encompassing 2.5 acres of land with more than 70% being preserved, Candela sets a new standard for forward-thinking, environmentally sensitive, resource-efficient residential design in Tulum. From the initial concept of the master-plan to developing permaculture guidelines, Candela has gone to great lengths to protect its precious surroundings. Constructing a Sustainable Community IMPLEMENTING ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES Candela was inspired by ancient Mayan culture, with villas rising up vertically through its natural surroundings in a pyramidal formation in order to minimize the jungle footprint. With low-density at the core of the community’s plan, each of the 12 private villas comes to life under strict building and construction practices, including utilizing eco-friendly building materials, setting limits for the acceptable distance of freighted materials, and designing efficient uses of walls and windows to naturally lower indoor temperatures and minimize energy consumption. Environmental initiatives have also been implemented, from installing water treatment facilities to creating strict waste management protocols. EXACT GOOGLE EARTH LOCATION: https://bit.ly/3j9Qvkn
