Nectar Tulum is a 15-unit luxury condominium development located in the heart of Tulum, Mexico. 

The property was designed by EC Architects, a Mexico-based industrial architectural firm. They maintain a focus on each project's surroundings, thus achieving a balance between the spiritual and the material. Nectar Tulum was designed for visitors who wish to experience local culture and lifestyle in local style and while living amongst the locals.

Nectar Tulum is a luxury gated community, notable for its modern architectural design and high-quality finishes, set against the backdrop of the natural wonders of Tulum. Nectar Tulum feels magical, because living in Tulum is magical. It is the first development to integrate nature, vacation and art in the heart of the town of Tulum.

The property was acquired by the developer in 2018 and construction is approximately 80% complete. As of September 2020, seven of the units have been pre-sold for an average price of $210,000. The development is expected to be completed in Spring 2021.
