Mid-way along the Riviera Maya, nestled between Tulum to the south and Cancun to the north, Playa Del Carmen is within easy reach of all the local hot-spots.
The city has a vibrant vibe that caters to all tastes and preferences. Authentic Mexican cuisine intermingles with European favourites along 5th Avenue.

Playa Del Carmen arguably has it all.
Work & Play
Playa Del Carmen and the Riviera Maya as a whole are primarily seen as vacation destinations. The perfect place to spend two weeks in paradise. However, people are increasingly choosing Playa Del Carmen and the Riviera Maya for both work and play. Their reputation as top destinations, and the resulting influx of visitors, means that real estate is in high demand. And while prices in Playa Del Carmen are no longer as low as they once were 10 or 15 years ago, they are still affordable.
The best bit? ROI is practically guaranteed. 2017 alone will see approximately $200 million USD invested into real estate in the area with Playa Del Carmen receiving 400 new central condos. The demand for this style of property is so high that most developments sell out before completion. Often, by the time owners are handed the keys their property has already gone up in value. Not only is investing in the Riviera Maya low-risk due to property appreciation, private rental opportunities are also boundless. Many investors choose to buy a property as a vacation rental. This provides them with a steady income as well as their own personal property in paradise.
