Casa Shalva

Casa Shalva is a remarkable architectural statement that celebrates the balance between raw materiality and serene modern living. Reimagining the traditional Mexican hacienda through a contemporary lens, this villa merges brutalist-inspired architecture with natural textures and refined craftsmanship. Designed to be both a private retreat and a social sanctuary, Casa Shalva embodies its Hebrew name — “Shalva,” meaning peace.

Architectural Elegance & Timeless Design

Defined by sculptural concrete forms and graceful arched openings, the villa unfolds around a tranquil courtyard and shimmering swimming pool, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Expansive double-height interiors and full-height glass doors invite natural light to cascade throughout the spaces, creating an enduring sense of openness and calm.

Warm Interiors & Organic Sophistication

Inside, Casa Shalva blends contemporary sophistication with organic warmth. A sunken living area with a custom firepit forms the home’s inviting centerpiece — perfect for gatherings or quiet reflection. Polished concrete, limestone, and tropical hardwoods pair with handcrafted furnishings and soft neutral textiles to create a space that feels grounded, elegant, and timeless.

Spaces for Connection & Retreat

The open-concept kitchen and dining area serve as the heart of the home, offering garden views and a seamless setting for entertaining. Each of the six bedrooms provides privacy and comfort, complete with en-suite bathrooms, tranquil lighting, and views of the lush jungle or inner courtyard.

Rooftop Sanctuary & Outdoor Living

An expansive rooftop terrace with a private pool crowns the residence, complemented by a lounge and bar overlooking the treetops — an idyllic setting for sunset gatherings, morning yoga, or stargazing under the Caribbean sky. Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, including shaded patios and tropical gardens, encourage a lifestyle that flows seamlessly between rest and recreation.

Location & Lifestyle

Perfectly situated in one of Tulum’s most exclusive neighborhoods, Casa Shalva offers both serenity and convenience — just minutes from the beach, cenotes, and the vibrant town center. Its striking design, natural materials, and deep connection to the jungle make it one of Tulum’s most extraordinary private homes — a masterpiece of contemporary living and timeless peace.
