Puerto Aventuras is a fully gated marina town roughly halfway between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, and it is unlike anything else on this coast because it was planned as a single place rather than grown into one.
What it is like
The town is built around a working marina with around ninety slips, cut inland from the sea so that a good deal of the residential product looks onto water. Inside the gate there is a nine hole golf course, several beaches, a dive centre, restaurants and bars along the marina front, a supermarket, a school and a small commercial centre. Security is at the entrance and the whole town is private.
It is quiet, orderly and geared toward people who spend real time here rather than a weekend. The demographic skews to families and long stay owners, many of them boat owners, and the pace is closer to a residential resort than to a beach town.
Fatima Bay is the main beach, wide and calm. Chac Hal Al and Xcalacoco are smaller. The Chichen Itza and Coba day trips are equidistant, and Tulum is about thirty minutes south.
What is for sale
Condos and penthouses make up most of what we list, many of them looking onto the marina, the lagoon or the golf course, alongside a run of large golf front and waterfront villas. Asking prices run from $289,000 USD for a two bedroom condo on the golf course to $5,350,000 USD; Villa Palma is $2,950,000 USD, a four bedroom lagoonfront house of 7,028 sq ft. The median is $759,000 USD.
Buyers can choose between finished homes they can walk through today and new construction at Marina Aqua, Puerto Aqua, Bloom and Gran Península.
Who it suits
Boat owners first, since a marina slip and a residence in the same gated town is a rare combination in Mexico. Beyond that, families who want everything inside a perimeter, and owners who want a managed, predictable environment rather than a frontier one.
What to watch
Living behind a gate means paying for the gate. Community fees here cover security, the marina, the roads and the amenities, and they are not small. Ask for the current figure, what it covers and how it has moved over the last three years.
On new construction, confirm delivery dates in writing and ask what is built on the site today.
The town is self contained, which is the appeal and also the limit. If you want to walk out into a Mexican town rather than a planned one, this is the wrong place.
The figures on this page are asking prices from our own current listings. They are not closed transactions and they are not comparables.

Short-term rentals
Permitted, but the community sets its own rules; ask us for the position on a specific building before you rely on a rental figure
Infrastructure
Private community infrastructure, maintained under the community fee: roads, water, power, security at the gate around the clock
Who this area suits
Puerto Aventuras suits the buyer who wants the infrastructure to be somebody else's problem. It is a private gated town built around a working marina, with a golf course, a tennis centre, a beach club and security at the gate around the clock. The roads are maintained and the standard does not depend on whether the municipality reached your street this year.
It suits boat owners, obviously. It suits families who want children to cycle to the beach club without crossing a highway. And it suits anyone who will come often: at about an hour from Cancun airport against an hour and three quarters to Tulum, the difference is real for an owner who visits eight times a year.
The thing to think hardest about is the other side of the same coin. You are buying into a set of rules, a fee you do not set, and a committee. Short term letting permissions, renovation approvals, what you may moor and where: all of it is decided collectively. Some buyers find that reassuring and some find it intolerable, and it is worth knowing which you are before you view anything.
It suits nobody looking for value per square foot, nightlife, or a wide choice of stock.

Rental and market data
Data as of September 2026. Asking figures are from our own live listings on 22 September 2026, across 30 properties inside the community.
Median asking price $754,365 USD across all types. Condos $749,730 (17 listings), houses $1,656,000 (8).
Asking price per square foot, built about $373 USD, against Tulum's $262. Roughly forty per cent more, and there is no way to present that as a bargain. What the money buys is a managed environment.
A caution on beachfront. Our beachfront median here is $601,352 on four listings. Four is not a market, and that figure sits oddly below everything else on this page. Read it as four specific properties rather than as evidence that beachfront is cheap in Puerto Aventuras.
Short term rental. AirDNA's 2026 figures put Puerto Aventuras at 48 per cent occupancy on an average daily rate of $283 USD, with average monthly revenue of $22,697. That is the strongest pairing of any market we cover: higher occupancy than Tulum and a higher nightly rate, where most places trade one against the other. AirDNA's figures for the market, not ours, and not any individual property. Before relying on them, ask us what the community permits.
These are asking prices. They are not closed transactions and they are not comparables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Foreigners can own property in Mexico via a “fideicomiso”: a trust with a Mexican bank facilitated by a notary. The bank acts as a trustee and follows instructions from the property owner. Via this arrangement, foreigners can have all rights to use, occupy, lease, build, improve, and sell their property. On average, it takes 60 to 90 days to complete a property purchase. Tulum Land & Property works closely with a trusted team of lawyers and notaries who ensure that all legal processes proceed smoothly. Another way of owning property in Mexico is by creating a Mexican corporation. This is recommended when investors plan to own several properties.
Most pre-construction properties require a refundable deposit of $5,000 USD to secure the unit. Our properties are in high demand so this deposit secures the unit while contracts are drafted. Typically buyers make a down payment of 30% but larger down payments lead to larger discounts. The rest of the payments are made according to negotiable payment plans spreading the cost over the construction time, allowing investors to enjoy better liquidity before delivery.
It depends on the property, the street, how it is furnished and how it is run, so we do not quote a single return figure for any market. Where we hold published short term rental data for an area, such as AirDNA's occupancy and nightly rate figures, it appears in the market data on that area's page, attributed to its source. Where a seller or developer supplies figures for a specific home, we tell you whose figures they are and suggest you verify them independently.
For foreigners investing in Mexico, the best way to obtain finance is to do so at home. In the US, you may take a Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Line of Credit (click here). Many pre-construction developments also offer payment plans that spread the cost over the construction period. Financing in Mexico is typically 8% to 9% plus fees and involves a lengthy process.
Closing costs are typically 7% of the property value. This includes the acquisition tax, recordation fee, certificate of no liens, municipal appraisal, legal and closing fees, and public notary fees. The yearly property tax in Mexico is typically 0.1% of the property value. HOA fees typically start from $2.5 USD per square meter per month depending on the amenities included. The cost of furniture and appliances must also be considered in your budget. Our team of experts can help you understand these costs, schedule a call with us to get started (click here).
To ensure a property has a clear title, conduct a title search through a reputable notary or legal professional. This process verifies that the seller has legal ownership and that there are no liens or encumbrances on the property. Working with experienced local professionals can help navigate this process.
Our markets are generally safe places to visit and to live. On Numbeo, whose crime index is built from residents' and visitors' own reports, Tulum currently scores lower than many large US cities, Miami among them. Like any busy tourist destination the region has occasional serious incidents, and these rarely involve visitors or residents going about their day. The usual travel precautions apply, as they would anywhere popular with visitors, and forums for first time travellers to Mexico carry plenty of practical advice on avoiding scams and petty theft.
Many of the condos and villas we sell come with amenities, depending on the location. Usual amenities include: pool, spa, rooftop, fitness and yoga centre, co-working space, etc.
