About Half Moon Bay, Akumal

Half Moon Bay is one of Akumal’s most established beachfront settings, known for its protected shoreline, clear Caribbean water, and easy access to the reef and nearby lagoon areas.

The bay’s gentle curve helps create calmer conditions than more exposed stretches of coast, giving it a setting that feels scenic, usable, and suited to everyday enjoyment.

The immediate surrounding area offers a convenient mix of restaurants, dive services, and other amenities within walking distance.

Located between Tulum and Playa del Carmen, Half Moon Bay also places owners in a central position for enjoying all the attractions of the Riviera Maya.

Answers to common questions about ownership, purchasing, and how property ownership works at Lol Ka’naab.

Yes, please inquire for more information.

Yes. Foreign buyers can purchase and own a residence at Lol Ka’naab.

Lol Ka’naab operates through Lol Ka’naab Corporation, a Texas-based corporation that holds the property through a Mexican bank trust (fideicomiso).

Each residence in the building is associated with a specific number of shares in the corporation. When a unit is purchased, the buyer acquires the shares connected to that residence. Ownership of those shares provides the exclusive right to use and occupy the condominium.

This combination of the fideicomiso trust and corporate share ownership is a well-established and widely used structure that allows international buyers to safely own and enjoy beachfront property in Mexico.

A fideicomiso is a bank trust commonly used for property located within Mexico’s coastal and border regions. In this structure, a Mexican bank holds legal title to the property as trustee while the beneficiary of the trust retains the practical rights associated with ownership.

The trust itself does not manage or control the property. It simply provides the legal framework through which the property is held, while the beneficiary retains the right to use, sell, transfer, or otherwise enjoy the property.

Fideicomisos are typically established for 50-year terms and can be renewed, allowing the ownership structure to continue indefinitely. This type of trust has been widely used for many years as a stable framework for holding coastal property in Mexico.

Ownership costs at Lol Ka’naab are generally divided into two categories: the building’s exterior maintenance fee and optional interior services.

The exterior fee is currently approximately $560 USD per month. This fee supports the maintenance and operation of the building’s common areas, including the pool, gardens, and general property upkeep. It also covers administrative costs for the building and certain ownership-related expenses associated with the property’s trust structure.

In addition to the exterior fee, many owners choose to arrange interior management or housekeeping services, particularly if they plan to rent their unit when not using it. These services are optional and vary depending on the provider, but typically average around $450 USD per month.

Utilities such as electricity and internet are separate and depend on individual usage. Overall, ownership costs at Lol Ka’naab remain relatively modest compared with many larger beachfront developments in the Riviera Maya.

Yes. Owners at Lol Ka’naab are permitted to rent their units as vacation rentals, and many choose to do so when they are not using the property themselves. The location on Half Moon Bay and the popularity of Akumal as a snorkeling and diving destination make the building attractive to travelers seeking beachfront accommodations.

Owners typically manage rentals through platforms such as Airbnb or through local property management services that assist with guest communication, cleaning, and maintenance. Some owners also receive direct bookings through their own websites or repeat guests.

This flexibility allows owners to use their condominium as a personal retreat while also generating rental income during periods when the unit is not in use.

Ownership at Lol Ka’naab is structured through shares in the corporation that owns the property. Each residence in the building corresponds to a specific number of shares, and those shares give the owner the exclusive right to use and occupy that condominium.

When a residence is sold, the buyer purchases the shares associated with that unit from the current owner. Once the transfer is completed and the corporation’s records are updated, the buyer becomes the registered owner of those shares.

The transaction is typically completed through an escrow process. Funds are held by the escrow agent while the share transfer documents are finalized and recorded, and the escrow is released once the transfer is complete.
