MGallery was founded in 2008 by Accor as the first boutique collection of its kind, based on the vision that every place has a soul. It emerged from the vision of creating a collection of unique hotels with their own stories, inspired by the history of the buildings or their destinations, and has become an international brand known for "meaningful and unforgettable moments."

MGallery Residences Tulum, part of a network of over 100 luxury hotels worldwide, presents Mayaliah Tulum, which is 80% complete and includes a showroom. Located in Aldea Zama on a 14,464 m² plot, it features 95 fully equipped residential apartments. This development is scheduled for delivery in August 2026. With construction already over 80% complete, its proximity to the MGallery hotel will allow residents to enjoy luxurious amenities and a resort-style living experience.

Benefits of Buying a Property in an MGallery-Branded Development

1. Powerful Brand Prestige and Marketing

Established Luxury Brand: MGallery is synonymous with boutique luxury, unique design, and storytelling. This attracts a specific, high-spending clientele who are looking for more than a standard hotel room.
Global Distribution: Your property is instantly marketed through Accor's massive global network, including their website, loyalty program (ALL - Accor Live Limitless), and travel agents. This means immediate visibility to millions of potential guests.

2. Proven Hotel Management Expertise

Professional Operation: You don't have to worry about the day-to-day management of the property. MGallery (or its management partner) handles everything: front desk, housekeeping, maintenance, marketing, and sales.
Revenue Management: They use sophisticated systems to dynamically price your unit to maximize occupancy and revenue, something an individual owner would find difficult to do.
3. Access to a High-Value Clientele
- ALL Loyalty Program: As part of the Accor ecosystem, your property gets bookings from members of the ALL program, one of the world's largest travel loyalty programs. These members are often loyal and frequent travelers.
- Targeted Demand: The MGallery brand attracts tourists and business travelers seeking a unique, high-end experience, ensuring a steady stream of potential guests.

4. Potential for Attractive Rental Income

Revenue Share: As an owner, you typically enter a rental pool agreement. This means your property is rented out like a hotel room, and you receive a share of the total revenue generated by the pool, providing a potential passive income stream.
Personal Use: Most schemes allow you to use your property for a certain number of weeks per year. You get the benefits of a luxury vacation home without the hassle of maintaining it year-round.

5. Lifestyle and Personal Enjoyment

Hotel-Quality Amenities: You get to enjoy the world-class amenities of the hotel, which may include a spa, swimming pool, fine-dining restaurant, and concierge services.
Unique Design and Character: MGallery hotels are known for their distinctive architecture and interior design, making your property a beautiful and inspiring place to stay.

6. Potential for Capital Appreciation

Branded Resale Value: Properties backed by a strong, internationally recognized hotel brand like MGallery can often command a premium resale value compared to non-branded properties in the same area. The assurance of professional management and rental income makes them attractive to future buyers.
