Akumal Penthouse with Private Rooftop Jacuzzi and Potential Closing Cost Savings
Description
Some condos are easy to describe.
This one is easy to imagine.
Morning coffee on the terrace, jungle views all around, a private rooftop waiting upstairs, and a jacuzzi ready for sunset. Add in a peaceful Akumal setting, access to one of the Riviera Maya’s most established gated communities, and a potential buyer advantage that could save the right purchaser approximately $25,000 USD or more in closing costs, and this Akumal penthouse starts to separate itself from the crowd pretty quickly.
Welcome to Akumal SOL at TAO, a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner penthouse in the KUN building inside Tulum Country Club.
Priced at $359,000 USD, this fully furnished condo offers approximately 2,088 sq ft of total space, including approximately 1,048 sq ft of interior living area, plus a covered terrace and a large private rooftop sundeck.
And yes, the property also comes with a little extra Akumal personality. During our video tour, a chachalaca stopped by the terrace like it owned the place. Honestly, it kind of fit the vibe perfectly.
A Rare Buyer Advantage
One of the most interesting parts of this property is the ownership structure.
The condo is held in a U.S. LLC, which may allow the right buyer to purchase the company shares rather than completing a traditional Mexican real estate transfer.
Subject to legal and tax review, this structure could potentially offer several advantages, including:
- Approx. $25,000 USD or more in potential closing cost savings
- Possible savings on acquisition tax and certain transfer-related costs
- Existing fideicomiso already in place
- Potentially faster closing timeline
- Familiar U.S.-style ownership structure
- Added separation of liability through the LLC structure
This is not legal or tax advice, and buyers should verify the structure with their own attorney and tax advisor. But for the right buyer, this could be a meaningful advantage compared with a standard real estate purchase in Mexico.
Private Rooftop Living
The private rooftop is one of the best features of this penthouse.
It feels open, peaceful, and surprisingly private, surrounded by jungle views and set far from the feeling of a busy condo tower. There is space for lounging, entertaining, enjoying the jacuzzi, or simply watching the light change over the treetops at the end of the day.
The rooftop includes a jacuzzi and outdoor areas that feel ideal for sunset drinks, quiet mornings, or relaxed evenings under the stars.
Heading up to the rooftop, the property includes quality stairwell details, and the overall condition of the condo reflects the care and pride the owners have put into the property over the years.
Thanks to its southwestern exposure, the rooftop is especially appealing for winter use, offering excellent sun throughout the day and beautiful sunset light in the evenings. For snowbirds escaping colder climates, that detail matters. This is the kind of rooftop where you can actually spend the day, not just take a quick photo and go back inside.
Comfortable, Turnkey Interior
Inside, the condo is fully furnished and ready to enjoy.
The layout includes 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with the flexibility to configure the beds as separate singles or push them together as king beds, which is useful for guests, family visits, or rentals.
The living area opens to a covered terrace with peaceful jungle views, giving the condo a strong indoor-outdoor feel.
Notable features include:
- Corner penthouse layout
- Private rooftop sundeck with jacuzzi
- Covered terrace
- Fully furnished and turnkey
- Laundry / utility room
- High-speed fiber optic internet available
- Washer and dryer
- Elevator access
- Wi-Fi controlled main living area air conditioning
- Flexible bed configurations
This is not a cold, generic investment condo. It feels personal, warm, and genuinely livable.
Life Inside TAO and Tulum Country Club
TAO is located inside Tulum Country Club, one of the Riviera Maya’s most established gated communities between Akumal and Tulum.
Over the years, this area has continued evolving from a golf resort setting into a more complete residential community.
Today, residents and owners benefit from access to nearby amenities and services such as PGA Riviera Maya golf, restaurants, wellness spaces, beach club options, the Mercadito grocery store, and an international school within the community.
Tulum Country Club is home to PGA Riviera Maya, a 27-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II, surrounded by jungle, cenotes, limestone, and a natural Riviera Maya setting.
Some amenities, memberships, golf access, beach club access, owner discounts, and community services may require separate fees or current owner verification. Buyers should confirm all current access and costs during due diligence.
Why Buyers Love Akumal
Akumal has a completely different energy from Playa del Carmen or Tulum.
It is quieter, greener, and more connected to nature, while still being close to beaches, cenotes, snorkeling, golf, restaurants, and day trips throughout the Riviera Maya.
From here, you are well positioned for:
- Akumal beaches and beach clubs
- Snorkeling and turtle watching
- Cenotes
- PGA Riviera Maya golf
- Tulum Country Club amenities
- Puerto Aventuras
- Playa del Carmen
- Tulum
- Coba and other day trips
For snowbirds, part-time residents, digital nomads, golfers, or anyone looking for a peaceful Riviera Maya base, Akumal continues to make a lot of sense.
Lifestyle First, Rental Income Second
Could this condo be rented when you are not using it? Yes.
But the best buyer for this property is likely someone who wants to enjoy the condo personally first, with rental income as a secondary benefit.
This is a strong fit for someone looking for a winter escape, full-time or seasonal Mexico home, golf and wellness lifestyle, peaceful Akumal base, or turnkey penthouse inside a growing master-planned community.
