Real Amalfi

Real Amalfi brings 328 private residences to the housing market in Playa del Carmen. The housing complex is ideally located only five kilometers from the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Residents of the controlled-access community enjoy numerous amenities, including a central park, clubhouse with a pool, outdoor entertainment space and a gym.

Energy-saving indoor lighting and roof insulation reduce the homes’ energy use, while dual-flush water closets and low-flow plumbing fixtures reduce the homes’ water use. The energy and water savings allow homeowners to save on utilities and live more environmentally-friendly lifestyles.

The developer of this project, Inmobiliaria Vinte, is dedicated to improving their tenant’s quality of life by building more efficient housing with positive economic and environmental impacts. An EDGE champion, Inmobiliaria Vinte has committed to certifying its immediate future projects with EDGE. Vinte’s other properties Real Granada, Real Vizcaya, Real Segovia and Real Madeira, have also received final EDGE certification.

Real Amalfi has received final EDGE certification from GBCI.
