How to buy a condo in Huatulco: a practical guide

The real steps of a pre-construction purchase in Santa Cruz: reservation, contract, payments and closing.

1. Choose your unit type

Sundara offers condominiums from 100 m² (1 and 2 bedrooms) and studios from 50 m². The 6 retail units are sold out.

2. Reservation

You sign a letter of intent and reserve the unit. Your price is locked from that moment.

3. Pre-sale contract

The contract sets the payment plan, the delivery date (December 2026 for Phase 1) and unit specifications. Review it with your attorney.

4. Payments during construction

A typical structure combines a down payment, monthly instalments during construction and a balance at delivery.

5. Closing and handover

Once construction is complete you close before a notary in Oaxaca and receive the unit. Budget for notary fees and taxes.
