Life in Paradise

Shaped by design, hospitality & the spirit of Tulum

Some places you visit. Tulum, you belong to — where the jungle meets the sea, a rarer kind of life begins, and home becomes a destination designed around you.

My journey

Julia Vasilenko

Lifestyle & Investment Strategist

A graduate of Les Roches Marbella in Luxury Hospitality & Event Management, I've lived and worked across Russia, Spain, Thailand, Canada, and Mexico — a multicultural perspective that lets me connect people, places, and opportunities.

Today, I serve as Head of Sales for Mayaliah MGallery Residences with Inmobilia, and collaborate with Faena — one of the most recognized branded residences in Tulum.

Over the past decade in the Riviera Maya, I've guided clients through life's most meaningful decisions — from second homes and investments to custom residences — alongside curated events, retreats, and travel designed around them.

This unique combination lets me approach every opportunity through both an investment and a lifestyle lens — transforming vision into reality through trusted relationships, thoughtful guidance, and a commitment to excellence.

Branded residences

Hotel living, made your own

Luxury today is no longer defined by ownership alone. The most successful developments understand that people aren't simply buying a residence — they're investing in a way of living. They want a home that enhances how they live, supports their wellbeing, and delivers the same care and personalization they'd expect from a world-class hospitality brand.

Mayaliah

Boutique character, curated care

Mayaliah is Mexico's first MGallery Hotel & Residences — Accor's boutique collection, proven across more than 120 hotels in 42 countries, now arriving in Tulum. The MGallery world rests on three signatures: memorable M Moments, the art of Mixology, and Mindfulness — storytelling, design and wellbeing woven into everyday life.

Just 95 branded private residences — alongside the hotel — sit between Aldea Zama and Tulum's main Cobá Avenue, minutes from Jaguar Park and the Caribbean Sea. Each turnkey home is serviced to a five-star standard, and ownership brings ALL Accor Diamond status, with privileges across Raffles, Fairmont, Sofitel and Orient Express.

Faena

Theatrical glamour by the sea

Faena is one of the world's most celebrated names in luxury — already legendary in Buenos Aires, Miami and New York, and now bringing its singular blend of art, culture and oceanfront drama to Tulum. Every Faena is a destination in itself: theatrical design, world-class art, and a cultural program that turns everyday life into something cinematic.

Here, a landmark district of 147 residences is anchored by a Faena hotel and its celebrated art galleries. To own is to live inside the experience — iconic service, unmistakable design, and the Faena spirit woven through every day — a home that is as much a statement as it is an investment.

Branded living offers more than a home — it offers a community, a standard of care, and lasting value.

Custom homes

Dreaming big?

Some clients don't want to choose a home — they want to create one. Working with an established network of architects, builders, and designers, I oversee custom residences end to end: site, permits, architecture, construction, and styling. The result is a private house built entirely around your life — open to the jungle, crafted from honest materials, and finished to last.

For homeowners

Away from home, never away from care

For owners who split their year between Tulum and elsewhere, I offer discreet away-from-home administration and management — maintenance, oversight, and concierge care that keep your residence impeccable whether you're here for the season or away for it.
