The development

A condominium with its own beach, inside the city

Marena is a residential development in Luque made up of eight towers arranged around a crystalline lagoon built with Crystal Lagoons® technology. The proposition is simple and rare: a beach, turquoise water and resort-grade amenities eight minutes from the corporate district of Asunción.

Units range from studios to three-bedroom apartments, with balconies facing either the lagoon or the green surroundings of the site. The towers carry their own names: Brisa, Arena, Costa, Duna and Faro.

The project is under construction and is being sold in phases. Because availability and prices shift as construction advances, it is worth asking for the current detail before deciding.

The lagoon

What Crystal Lagoons® means, and why it matters

Crystal Lagoons® is a technology that maintains large volumes of crystal-clear water using a fraction of the energy and chemicals a conventional pool of the same size would require. It is the same technology used in coastal developments around the world.

Paraguay already has lagoons of this kind, but Marena is the first in an urban setting — you do not have to leave the city to reach it. For an owner that translates into two concrete things: an amenity that is hard to replicate nearby, and a genuine differentiator when letting the unit.

The lagoon is also the centre of life in the condominium: a white sand beach, water sports such as kayaking and stand-up paddle, and the club house restaurant looking out over the water.

Units

Available layouts

Each layout serves a different goal. This is the logic I use when recommending one over another.

  • Studio

    The most accessible way into the project and the layout with the best turnover for short-term letting. Ideal if your aim is to maximise yield on a lower ticket.

  • One bedroom

    The most sought-after balance of price and rental demand. Works well both for traditional and short-term letting, and is the easiest layout to resell.

  • Two bedrooms

    Suited to couples, professionals working from home or small families. Lower tenant turnover and longer contracts.

  • Three bedrooms

    The choice for own use or for families. It is the least available layout in the development, which works in its favour over the medium term.

Floor areas, plans and availability by tower are shared in the current sales presentation.

Amenities

22 amenities inside the condominium

A significant share of the site is given over to shared spaces, indoor and outdoor, arranged around the lagoon.

Payment plan

From 5% down, in interest-free instalments

The payment structure is one of the reasons this project lands on so many investors’ radar: a low deposit reserves the unit, and the balance is paid in equal interest-free instalments through the construction phase.

In practice that means you can enter the project without tying up all your capital at once, and match payments to your own monthly cash flow.

Request the current payment plan
  • From 5% down

    The deposit to reserve starts at 5% of the unit value.

  • Interest-free instalments

    The balance is financed in equal instalments, interest free, during construction.

  • Settled in US dollars

    Prices and instalments are handled in US dollars.

  • Plan around your cash flow

    We adjust the deposit and number of instalments within the current terms.

Financing terms, prices and availability are those current at the time of enquiry and may vary by tower, layout and construction stage. They do not constitute a binding commercial offer.

Marena Rentals

Your apartment let, without you running the operation

Buying is half the work. The other half is making sure the unit lets well, stays maintained and produces income consistently. That is what the development’s own management programme, Marena Rentals, is for.

You can choose short-term letting in the style of Airbnb, taking advantage of the appeal of the lagoon and the amenities, or traditional letting with longer contracts and lower turnover. Either way the programme handles operations and you receive your income in US dollars.

  • Short-term (Airbnb-style) or traditional letting
  • Income received in US dollars
  • No need to be in Paraguay to run your investment

Frequently asked

Common questions about Marena

The enquiries I receive most often about the project.

Where exactly is Marena?

In Luque, on Calle 12 de Junio, steps from the International Tennis Club and very close to Ñu Guasu Park. It is eight minutes from the corporate district of Asunción and seven from Silvio Pettirossi Airport.

Which layouts are available?

Studios and one, two and three-bedroom units across eight towers. Specific availability by tower and floor changes as sales progress, so I will send you the current list when you message me.

How does the payment plan work?

Units are reserved from 5% down and the balance is paid in equal interest-free instalments during construction. Exact terms depend on the unit and on current promotions.

When will the project be handed over?

The development advances in phases and each tower has its own schedule. I prefer not to publish dates that may go out of date — message me and I will give you the construction status and estimated timeline for the tower you are interested in.

Can I visit the model apartment?

Yes. There is a model apartment and a showroom in Luque that can be visited by appointment. We arrange the day and time over WhatsApp.

Does Marena work for Airbnb-style short-term letting?

It is one of its strengths: the lagoon and amenities make it attractive for short stays. Marena Rentals can also manage the unit for you, on either short-term or traditional letting.
