Athimar

Athimar sits on Avenida Rafael E. Melgar — Cozumel’s malecón — next to Mega, on a corner site with ground-floor commercial units beneath the residences.

It is a six-level building of 25 units across eight different layouts, from one to three bedrooms, with a rooftop terrace and pool. Units are ocean-view rather than oceanfront: the sea is across the avenue, not beneath the balcony. That is a real distinction on Melgar and it should be reflected in what you pay — see what beachfront actually means in Cozumel.

What the location does give you is the walkable side of the island. Melgar is the seafront avenue through San Miguel, so the ferry, restaurants and the town are on foot rather than by car — which matters more than beach frontage for anyone intending to actually live here rather than visit.

The ground-floor commercial space is worth understanding before buying. It brings footfall and convenience, and it also means the building is not purely residential — some buyers want that, others do not.

Eight layouts across 25 units means the range within the building is wide. Compare the specific unit, not the development.
