El Tren Maya cambió la forma de moverse por el sureste de México. Más allá de ser un medio de transporte, conecta comunidades que antes quedaban a horas de distancia, abre rutas turísticas nuevas y está modificando la economía de la región.
En esta guía reunimos la información verificada sobre cómo funciona: qué tramos recorre, cuántas paradas tiene, cómo se calculan las tarifas y qué significa todo esto para quien vive, trabaja o invierte en la península. Los datos provienen de fuentes oficiales y cada cifra indica su fecha, porque en un sistema que todavía está creciendo, los números cambian.
¿Dónde empieza y dónde termina el Tren Maya?
El Tren Maya forma un circuito de 1,554 kilómetros que conecta cinco estados: Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán y Quintana Roo. El recorrido abraza la península yucateca e integra zonas arqueológicas, ciudades coloniales y destinos costeros en una sola red.
El tren alcanza velocidades de 160 kilómetros por hora, muy por encima de lo que permite la carretera en la mayoría de los trayectos.
Los siete tramos
La ruta oficial se divide en siete tramos:
• Tramo 1: Palenque – Escárcega (228 km aprox.)
• Tramo 2: Escárcega – Calkiní (219 km aprox.)
• Tramo 3: Calkiní – Izamal (157 km aprox.)
• Tramo 4: Izamal – Cancún (239 km aprox.), pasando por Mérida, Chichén Itzá y Valladolid
• Tramo 5: Cancún – Tulum (111 km aprox.), pasando por Playa del Carmen
• Tramo 6: Tulum – Chetumal (256 km aprox.), pasando por Bacalar
• Tramo 7: Chetumal – Escárcega (256 km aprox.)
El tramo 5 es el más corto del sistema y también el de mayor demanda turística.
¿Cuántas estaciones tiene y dónde están?
El sistema cuenta con 34 paradas en total, y conviene entender la diferencia: 20 son estaciones principales, con servicios completos, y 14 son paraderos secundarios, más pequeños.
Estaciones principales por estado
Quintana Roo: Cancún, Cancún Aeropuerto, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Bacalar, Chetumal
Yucatán: Mérida, Valladolid, Chichén Itzá, Izamal
Campeche: San Francisco de Campeche, Escárcega, Xpujil
Chiapas: Palenque
Tabasco: Tenosique
La estación de Chetumal opera desde diciembre de 2024 y es cabecera de dos tramos, además de tener conexión aeroportuaria. Es la puerta de entrada al sur del estado y a la frontera con Belice.

¿Cuánto dura cada recorrido?
Los tiempos varían según el tramo. Como referencia, el horario oficial de la ruta Cancún–Playa del Carmen contempla un recorrido de 46 minutos.
• Playa del Carmen – Tulum: 46 minutos a 52 minutos
• Tulum – Valladolid: 3 horas 26 minutos
• Valladolid – Cancún: 1h 39 minutos
• Cancún – Mérida: entre 3h 9 minutos a 3h 39 minutos
¿Cómo funcionan las tarifas del Tren Maya?
Aquí es donde más gente se confunde, porque no existe un precio único por ruta. La tarifa depende de tres factores que se combinan: el tramo que recorres, la categoría de pasajero a la que perteneces y la clase de servicio que eliges.
Las dos clases de servicio
Clase Turista es la tarifa base. Tiene cuatro asientos por fila y acceso a sanitarios y bar.
Clase Premier tiene tres asientos por fila, más espacio entre filas, mayor inclinación del asiento y servicio de alimentos llevados a tu lugar. El servicio de comida varía según la duración del viaje.
Ambas clases viajan en el mismo tren.
Las categorías de pasajero
Existen tarifas diferenciadas para residentes de los municipios que atraviesa la ruta, y tarifas especiales con descuento para estudiantes, maestros, personas mayores de 60 años y personas con discapacidad. En todos estos casos hay que acreditar la condición con identificación o credencial vigente.
El cambio de abril de 2026
En abril de 2026 el sistema reformó su esquema tarifario, y es importante saberlo porque muchas guías siguen publicando los precios anteriores.
Se eliminó la tarifa diferenciada para viajeros extranjeros. En su lugar se creó la categoría Turista México, que agrupa a viajeros nacionales e internacionales en un mismo precio, con descuentos de hasta 30% frente a los valores previos. Las tarifas local y especial bajaron 20%.
Para dimensionar el cambio: el boleto Mérida–Cancún en clase Premier costaba 1,146 pesos para pasajeros nacionales y 1,541 para extranjeros. Durante la promoción de primavera de 2026 quedó en 547 pesos.
Ejemplos de precios vigentes
Estos son los precios publicados para la ruta Playa del Carmen- Tulum en septiembre de 2026:
• Tarifa especial (estudiantes, adultos mayores, personas con discapacidad): 93 pesos
• Residentes de Quintana Roo: 123.50 pesos
• Nacional, clase turista: 185 pesos
• Internacional, clase turista: 246.50 pesos
Los precios cambian según la temporada y las promociones vigentes. Para conocer la tarifa exacta de tu viaje, consulta el cotizador oficial en trenmaya.gob.mx.
Cómo comprar el boleto
En línea, a través del portal oficial de venta, eligiendo origen, destino, fecha y asiento. El boleto llega por correo electrónico con código QR.
En taquilla, en cualquier estación, pagando con efectivo o tarjeta. Las tarifas local y especial requieren acreditación presencial, así que si aplicas a alguna de ellas, conviene comprar en ventanilla llevando tu identificación.
Novedad: vuelve la ruta Cancún–Playa del Carmen
El 15 de agosto de 2026 se reanudó la conexión directa entre Cancún y Playa del Carmen, uno de los corredores con mayor movimiento diario de Quintana Roo, luego de un periodo de suspensión.
El servicio opera con cuatro viajes diarios, dos en cada sentido:
Desde Cancún:
• Salida 6:45, llegada 7:34
• Salida 10:30, llegada 11:19
Desde Playa del Carmen:
• Salida 7:47, llegada 8:40
• Salida 12:00, llegada 12:53
• Salida 19:10, llegada 19:59
Lo relevante de esta reactivación no es solo turístico. El enfoque declarado por las autoridades es atender a quienes se trasladan a diario entre ambos municipios por motivos de trabajo y estudio. Miles de personas hacen ese recorrido cada día, sobre todo en el sector turístico, servicios y comercio.
Eso convierte al tren en algo distinto a una atracción: en una opción real de movilidad cotidiana, que cambia el cálculo de dónde conviene vivir.
Tren Maya Conecta: la solución del último tramo
El mismo 15 de agosto de 2026 arrancó Tren Maya Conecta, un sistema de autobuses que enlaza las estaciones con puntos estratégicos de la ciudad. Resuelve el problema que más desalienta el uso del tren: llegar de la estación a tu destino real.
En Playa del Carmen opera dos trayectos:
• Estación – Plaza Playacar, con paradas en Plaza Quinta Alegría, Plaza 28 de Julio y CAPTA
• Estación – Zona Hotelera Mayan
En Cancún:
• Estación – Aeropuerto Internacional de Cancún
• Estación – Plaza Las Américas
• Estación – Zona Hotelera, con paradas en el Museo Maya de Cancún y Plaza La Isla
Para quien vive en la zona, esta red de alimentación es tan importante como el tren mismo. Sin ella, la estación queda lejos de todo; con ella, el tren se integra al día a día.
En 2026 la red opera alrededor de 20 servicios diarios en todo el sistema, con planes de crecimiento.
Los corredores que cambian la forma de vivir la península
Playa del Carmen – Tulum: conectividad costera
Esta ruta, parte del tramo 5, conecta el centro de Playa del Carmen con Tulum evitando el tráfico de la carretera federal, que en temporada alta es el principal cuello de botella de la Riviera Maya.
Playa del Carmen se ha consolidado como el punto más cosmopolita de la Riviera Maya, y la combinación del tren con Tren Maya Conecta la vuelve especialmente atractiva para quien busca vivir ahí sin depender del automóvil.
Desarrollos como Tierra Madre, sobre Avenida Universidades, aprovechan esta posición: acceso a las playas, a los cenotes de ambas zonas y ahora también a la red ferroviaria.
Tulum – Valladolid: el puente entre la costa y el interior
Esta conexión une las playas del Caribe con la autenticidad colonial de Yucatán, y abre una posibilidad que antes no existía: hacer el trayecto en un día sin necesidad de manejar.
Valladolid, conocida como la Sultana del Oriente, es una de las grandes beneficiadas. Es Pueblo Mágico, tiene cenotes propios, está a media hora de Chichén Itzá y ahora está conectada por tren tanto hacia el Caribe como hacia Mérida.
Desarrollos como Aldea Valladolid permiten vivir en el ritmo tranquilo de una ciudad colonial con acceso ferroviario a la costa.
Tulum ofrece la combinación de arqueología, playa y ahora doble conectividad, ferroviaria y aérea. En Grupo Emérita tenemos dos proyectos ahí, pensados para dos tipos de inversionista distintos.
Kaybé es la opción para quien busca terreno propio en una ubicación consolidada, con la intención de construir y de tener presencia patrimonial en Tulum. Es una inversión de mayor ticket, dirigida a quien tiene el capital disponible y quiere el activo en sus manos.
Trébola está pensada para el inversionista que busca terreno con financiamiento accesible. El esquema de mensualidades bajas permite comenzar sin descapitalizarse, apostando al crecimiento de la zona a mediano y largo plazo. Es la puerta de entrada al mercado de Tulum para quien está construyendo patrimonio de forma gradual.
Dos proyectos, dos momentos financieros distintos, la misma región conectada por el tren.
Qué significa el Tren Maya para la inversión inmobiliaria
La conectividad cambia el valor del suelo. Cuando un lugar pasa de estar a dos horas a estar a treinta minutos, no cambia solo el tiempo de viaje: cambia quién puede vivir ahí, quién puede trabajar desde ahí y quién quiere rentar ahí.
Ese es el mecanismo, y está bien documentado en proyectos de transporte masivo en todo el mundo. Pero conviene decir algo que muchas publicaciones omiten: el efecto no es uniforme ni automático.
Las estaciones con poca integración urbana muestran impacto marginal, y en zonas donde la especulación se adelantó a la realidad, los precios se han ajustado. Los análisis del mercado coinciden en que la distancia importa en ambos sentidos: pegado a la estación implica ruido y tráfico, y demasiado lejos diluye el beneficio de la conectividad.
Lo que sí hace diferencia de forma consistente es la combinación de tres cosas: conectividad real, infraestructura urbana previa y certeza jurídica en la propiedad. Una estación cerca no compensa un terreno sin servicios ni un título con problemas.
En nuestros desarrollos hemos documentado esta evolución de primera mano. En Tierra Madre, en Playa del Carmen, el precio por metro cuadrado pasó de $3,499 en 2024 a $4,386.30 en 2026. En Aldea Valladolid, de $7,560 a $8,095.12 en el mismo periodo. Datos internos de Grupo Emérita, con más de 11 años de operación en la región.
Qué revisar antes de invertir cerca de una estación
• Distancia real al centro urbano, no solo a la estación
• Vocación del nodo: hay estaciones logísticas y estaciones turísticas
• Plan de desarrollo municipal de la zona
• Disponibilidad de agua, drenaje y energía
• Certeza jurídica del título de propiedad
• Frecuencia real de servicio en ese tramo
Un sureste que se mueve distinto
El Tren Maya sigue en construcción como sistema. Las rutas se abren, se suspenden y se reanudan; las tarifas se ajustan; la red de alimentación apenas está naciendo. Cualquier guía que pretenda ser definitiva está mintiendo.
Lo que sí es claro es la dirección: la península está dejando de funcionar como destinos aislados conectados por carretera, y empezando a funcionar como una región integrada. Vivir en Valladolid y llegar a Playa del Carmen, o tener casa en Playa del Carmen y trabajar en Cancún sin manejar, dejó de ser hipótesis.
Nuestros desarrollos en Playa del Carmen, Valladolid y Tulum forman parte de este corredor. Si estás evaluando dónde invertir o dónde vivir en el sureste, conocer cómo funciona esta red es parte de la decisión.

Tren Maya: guía completa de rutas, precios y estaciones
Playa del Carmen se ha convertido en uno de los mercados inmobiliarios más dinámicos de México.
El crecimiento de la ciudad ya no ocurre de forma uniforme: hoy existen zonas consolidadas, zonas en expansión y zonas emergentes que avanzan a ritmos distintos.
Entender dónde se está concentrando el desarrollo urbano puede marcar una diferencia importante al momento de invertir.
Actualmente, factores como la nueva infraestructura, el crecimiento comercial y proyectos regionales como el Tren Maya están impulsando nuevas áreas de alta proyección dentro de Playa del Carmen.
¿Por qué invertir en Playa del Carmen?
En los últimos años, Playa del Carmen ha mantenido un crecimiento constante en turismo, vivienda e inversión inmobiliaria.
Hoy, la ciudad destaca por:
- Alta demanda de vivienda y rentas por el crecimiento turístico y residencial
- Expansión urbana con nuevas zonas y desarrollos inmobiliarios
- Crecimiento comercial y llegada de nuevos servicios
- Ubicación clave entre Cancún y Tulum y sus aeropuertos internacionales
- Conectividad con todo el Sureste de México gracias al Tren Maya
- Nuevos proyectos en preventa con oportunidades de inversión
- Plusvalía sostenida en zonas de crecimiento activo
Además, diversos análisis inmobiliarios posicionan a Playa del Carmen como uno de los destinos con mayor proyección de inversión en México para 2026.
¿Cómo está creciendo Playa del Carmen actualmente?
La expansión de la ciudad se divide principalmente en dos dinámicas urbanas.
Zonas consolidadas cerca del mar
Del lado de la playa y la Quinta Avenida se encuentran algunas de las zonas más posicionadas de Playa del Carmen, como:
- Playacar
- Zona Diamante
- Calle 38
- Gonzalo Guerrero
- 5ta Avenida
Estas áreas mantienen una alta demanda gracias al turismo, la vida comercial y la cercanía al mar.
Sin embargo, gran parte de su crecimiento ya ocurrió. Por eso, aunque siguen siendo zonas sólidas, el margen de expansión es más limitado y los precios suelen ser más elevados.
Del otro lado de la Ciudad: donde está el nuevo crecimiento
Hacia el interior de la ciudad se está desarrollando una nueva etapa de expansión urbana.
Aquí el crecimiento ocurre de forma acelerada gracias a:
- Mayor disponibilidad de tierra
- Nuevos desarrollos habitacionales
- Expansión de plazas y comercios
- Mejor conectividad vial
- Crecimiento residencial constante
Es precisamente en estas zonas donde actualmente se encuentran muchas oportunidades de inversión en preventa y proyectos con mayor potencial de plusvalía.
Avenida Universidades: una de las zonas con mayor crecimiento en Playa del Carmen
Dentro de esta nueva expansión urbana, Avenida Universidades se ha convertido en una de las zonas más relevantes para invertir en Playa del Carmen.
Su crecimiento responde a varios factores que hoy están transformando esta área:
1. Nuevos desarrollos inmobiliarios
La zona concentra actualmente:
- Proyectos residenciales
- Departamentos en preventa
- Desarrollo de lotes
- Nuevas privadas habitacionales
Esto genera un crecimiento urbano constante y mayor movimiento inmobiliario.
2. Mayor conectividad
Avenida Universidades conecta rápidamente con distintos puntos clave de la ciudad, facilitando la movilidad y acceso a servicios.
Además, su cercanía con la estación del Tren Maya fortalece su proyección regional y el interés de inversionistas.
3. Expansión comercial y de servicios
En esta zona ya comienzan a consolidarse puntos importantes como:
- Multiplaza Petempich
- Comercios locales
- Servicios privados
- Colegios y universidades
- Nuevas plazas y negocios
- Zonas residenciales en crecimiento
Esto permite que la zona evolucione rápidamente y genere mayor demanda habitacional.
Entonces, ¿dónde conviene invertir en Playa del Carmen?
La respuesta depende del objetivo de cada persona.
Si alguien busca una zona completamente consolidada y turística, las áreas cercanas al mar siguen siendo una opción sólida.
Pero si el objetivo es identificar zonas con crecimiento acelerado, nuevas oportunidades y potencial de plusvalía, las áreas en expansión hacia el interior de la ciudad están tomando cada vez más relevancia.
Dentro de ese panorama, Avenida Universidades destaca como una de las zonas con mayor proyección actualmente.
Playa del Carmen continúa evolucionando a gran velocidad.
Mientras las zonas cercanas al mar mantienen un crecimiento consolidado, nuevas áreas de la ciudad están marcando una nueva etapa de expansión urbana.
Hoy, Avenida Universidades destaca por:
- Su crecimiento acelerado
- La llegada de nuevos desarrollos
- La expansión comercial
- Su conectividad estratégica
- Su potencial de plusvalía a futuro
Dentro de esta zona en crecimiento, proyectos como Tierra Madre reflejan cómo está evolucionando esta nueva etapa de Playa del Carmen. Actualmente se encuentra en preventa y continúa avanzando con el desarrollo de sus amenidades, incluyendo una Casa Club que ya se encuentra en su fase final y cuya entrega está prevista para finales de este año.
Además, hoy ya es posible agendar un recorrido para visitar el proyecto y conocer de cerca por qué esta área está atrayendo cada vez más la atención de inversionistas y familias que buscan construir patrimonio en Playa del Carmen.
Así, Avenida Universidades comienza a posicionarse como una de las zonas más interesantes para invertir en Playa del Carmen en 2026, gracias a su crecimiento acelerado, conectividad y potencial de plusvalía a futuro.
Dónde invertir en Playa del Carmen en 2026: zonas con mayor crecimiento y plusvalía
What is it like to live in Playa del Carmen?
Playa del Carmen is much more than a vacation destination. Those who choose to live here discover a vibrant city, with an active community, a deep connection to nature, and a pace of life very different from urban centers in the rest of the country.
Here are five experiences you can only enjoy if you make Playa del Carmen your home. We especially love the last one!
1. Connect with the jungle and the sea every day
Here, you don’t need to escape on weekends to reconnect: everything is just around the corner. Whether you’re running along nature trails, paddling at sunrise, or swimming in crystal-clear cenotes, nature becomes part of your daily routine.
Playa del Carmen is home to people from all over the world. This mix of cultures creates a diverse and dynamic community, where it’s common to make friends with neighbors from different countries. From local markets to cultural fairs, there are always spaces to share and collaborate.
3. Experience the Riviera at your own pace
Far from the tourist hustle, daily life here moves at a different pace. Free time, mindful enjoyment, and closeness to what matters are truly valued. Developments like Tierra Madre, designed to foster community, offer the perfect setting to create a home: green areas, functional amenities, security, and a location that connects you to everything important. A place where community isn’t just a concept—it’s a reality.
In Playa, everything invites you to slow down. Outdoor yoga classes, meditating by the sea, hidden cafés in the jungle to start your day in peace… Here, you breathe a different kind of life. One where physical and mental well-being are part of your daily routine, not a distant goal.
Here, you don’t just live—you build. Playa del Carmen is undergoing urban transformation, and its residents actively participate in its growth. Whether through entrepreneurship, investment, or creating community projects, it’s a city for active minds who want to make a mark.

The path of real estate investment is full of important decisions, as what you choose will influence how your expectations for returns, appreciation, and lifestyle are met. Choosing the right property type for your real estate investment is key to achieving your goals.
The most common types are studios, apartments, and penthouses; all very different from each other. So, how do you choose the best one? In this article, we’ll help you decide.
Studio
Studios make the most of every square meter, as they are a single space that brings together daily essentials like a bed, kitchen, and desk. Only the bathroom is separated from the main area.
Because of their size, the initial investment is low, and maintenance is the simplest and least demanding. They are usually in a strategic location to attract travelers and thus generate steady income.
Apartment
Apartments have more variable sizes, as they can have 1 or 2 bedrooms, and are also equipped with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, and even a terrace. The initial investment is moderate, and this type of property usually has steady rental demand and solid appreciation.
Penthouse
Located at the top of residential complexes, penthouses are the epitome of luxury and exclusivity. They usually have several bedrooms, spacious areas, and large windows with privileged views. That said, the initial investment is high, but it’s a great property to rent in the luxury real estate market and thus maximize your investment.
We highly recommend certified real estate advice to make the best decision, as an advisor can guide you on factors such as the local market, profitability, or suggest the best way to diversify your portfolio.
What do these properties have in common?
While these three properties attract different investor profiles, they all share the fact that they are located in luxury developments like Constelada; the most original proposal in Tulum’s Selvazama, the sister development of the successful Aldea Zamá, which is located in an urbanized area with high tourist demand due to its proximity to main attractions.
In addition to offering a variety of property types, Constelada features luxury amenities such as a rooftop with pool, bar, yoga area, coworking, and gym. Thanks to its location, infrastructure, and architecture, Constelada is a safe bet for success.
We invite you to click on the following box to learn more about Constelada, and to get in touch with our expert advisors to find out which is your ideal investment in this thriving development in the Riviera Maya.

In recent years, the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development have become highly relevant in political and economic circles. In addition, in the construction sector, it has also become important to start thinking about the future and the responsibility we have towards the planet. That is why Grupo Emerita is committed to creating sustainable developments that stand out from other projects.
Sustainability or sustainable development
To understand how Grupo Emerita's sustainable developments differ from other projects, it is important to first understand the difference between sustainability and sustainable development:
- Sustainability: Sustainable development means making proper use of current resources without compromising those of future generations. This means that sustainable processes preserve, protect, and conserve both current and future natural resources.
- Sustainable development: Sustainable development refers to the pursuit of social and economic progress that ensures people a healthy and productive life. Sustainability seeks social development that contributes to improving the quality of life, health, education, and culture of all people.
Within the concept of sustainability, we find sustainable architecture, a growing trend that puts the environment at the center when building new structures. Grupo Emerita takes this trend into account to innovate and create high-quality sustainable projects that are environmentally friendly.
Grupo Emerita's sustainable developments
At Grupo Emerita, we know that the rapid growth of the real estate market can have a major environmental impact. That is why we are committed to building residential communities that benefit the user without harming their surroundings. An example of this is Kaybé, a place designed to enjoy nature with all your senses.
Kaybé features a unique amenity in Mexico, a multisensory park that borders the Jaguar Reserve, a Protected Natural Area (ANP) in Tulum. In this context, Kaybé's constructions preserve the natural spaces of the Jaguar Reserve and do not invade the area's natural environment, allowing for the development of low-impact tourism.
For Grupo Emerita, creating sustainable projects is key to our growth and business vision, as natural spaces offer a better quality of life for users and, therefore, greater added value.

The Buy to Rent real estate model, or "buy to rent," is one of the alternatives with which at Grupo Emerita we guarantee our clients a fast return on investment. If the idea of acquiring a property to rent is already good, with us it becomes a very attractive and highly recommended business.
We are committed to this model to provide more benefits to our investors. We also think of light travelers and tourists from all over the world, as we offer them accommodation options in the best vacation areas in southeastern Mexico.
Acquiring a property with the intention of renting it out is a profitable business that for us represents great rewards and financial advantages for the future. In addition, we use the Buy to Rent model to boost the profitability of properties with factors such as location, connectivity, and a range of services and amenities.
Our goal is always to benefit clients with high returns, derived from the management and rental of their properties located in tourist cities in Yucatán and Quintana Roo.
For over 30 years, we have built dream places to invest and take advantage of the benefits of the Buy to Rent model. Our developments have the highest rental rates and generate the greatest added value, thanks to their privileged locations in each city.
In Tulum, we have Nhoa Condos, a residential complex of 2-bedroom apartments that combines the magical essence of the destination with the comforts and services that characterize a hotel.
Another project we have in Tulum is Peregrina, a development whose housing units were designed for travelers seeking relaxation and tranquility in the Mayan jungle.
Both developments are perfect for Buy to Rent investments, as they feature a Lock Off* system, which allows you to use or rent the rooms separately.
*System for dividing rooms with closed doors.

Tulum and Playa del Carmen are very attractive places to invest in Quintana Roo. Considered jewels of the Mexican Caribbean, both cities are known for their beautiful turquoise beaches and that tropical lifestyle that attracts thousands of tourists from all over the world.
Both cities are tourist hotspots where real estate investment is highly recommended. However, when it comes to choosing one, Tulum has the advantage because it offers you better results in a short time.
Playa del Carmen is a cosmopolitan destination that shines at all times. The color of its beaches is captivating and there is always a great vibe on the white sand streets and the famous Fifth Avenue, a pedestrian area full of shops and restaurants.
The many options for entertainment, gastronomy, and shopping, as well as the lodging offer, make Playa del Carmen a very popular spot for international tourism.
However, Tulum is the preferred place to vacation in the Riviera Maya and the fourth trendiest destination worldwide*1. This Caribbean city is also the ideal spot for investors seeking high short-term returns.
The crystal-clear sea, archaeological sites, and abundant nature are Tulum's calling card, a city where just over 50% of real estate projects in Quintana Roo take place*2.
Thanks to its bohemian, exclusive, and spiritual style, Tulum has become the perfect place to live, as well as to invest in properties for vacation rentals. That is why at Grupo Emerita we develop projects where the essence and magic of the destination prevail in every corner.
Our developments in the Caribbean city stand out for having the best location and infrastructure to invest with a business vision. Learn more about us and our real estate offer in Tulum, we have the space that will bring you great benefits in the Riviera Maya.

Investing in Quintana Roo: Tulum or Playa del Carmen? Which one is the better choice for me?

One of the keys to feeling well in your home is orientation, an element that very few people consider. Proper orientation is closely linked to the position of the sun, so good orientation will allow you to have better natural lighting and thermal comfort. Stay with us and discover some elements that will help you orient your home properly.
Keys to orienting your home
Orienting a building well is one of the most important decisions to make before starting a project. To do this, you should consider two key elements for your home, which are the result of the sun's position: lighting and temperature.
Sunlight is vital for emotions, especially for your mood. Doctors Alison Jing Xu and Aparna Labroo from the University of Toronto Scarborough found that the greater the intensity of light, the greater the intensity of your emotions. That’s why we should seek to have the best possible natural light in our home. The same goes for temperature—thermal comfort directly affects your sense of well-being and your stress levels. So, when building your home, keep the following in mind:
- South-facing orientation receives the most hours of sun in both summer and winter.
- East-facing orientation gets the sun in the mornings.
- North-facing orientation is the coolest in summer, but in winter it is by far the coldest.
- West-facing orientation is the worst, both for summer and winter.
Lots in Tulum to build your home with the best orientation
Now that you know how to properly orient your home, we want to tell you about one of the best places to build your home in the Riviera Maya, with the best temperature and hours of sunlight that will give you an unmatched sense of well-being.
Let us introduce you to Kaybé, an exclusive residential development located 10 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the Tulum archaeological zone. It features single-family lots and macrolots where you can strategically build your home to have a better connection with the natural surroundings of the area.
This development is inspired by the morphology of Mayan huts and seeks to celebrate the outdoors, hiding the architecture among the jungle, offering you a private and peaceful environment.
Learn more about Kaybé, and get inspired to build your home with the best orientation, in paradise.

Aldea Zamá is one of the most exclusive and high-value residential areas in Tulum, the epicenter of the Riviera Maya. It is located 2 hours south of Cancún and 1 hour south of Playa del Carmen. This development is extremely private, as it is surrounded by lush vegetation and away from the daily traffic and noise.
The infrastructure of Aldea Zamá reflects a balance between luxury, cutting-edge design, and ecological vision, which is why it has become a great commercial success. Here, you can enjoy a peaceful environment to relax, spend time with your loved ones, and connect with nature. In addition, Aldea Zamá has its own amenities within its residential complexes.
Living in Aldea Zamá, you can enjoy outdoor activities such as walking, biking, visiting the beach, going to Tulum town, exploring nearby cenotes, or simply enjoying a quiet afternoon feeling the sea breeze from your home.
Nhoa Condos, luxury apartments located in Aldea Zamá
If you want to live in Aldea Zamá and make the most of the advantages Tulum offers as a tourist destination, we invite you to discover Nhoa Condos Tulum. This residential development is located here, within Aldea Zamá, and shares the features of this space to offer privacy, tranquility, and calm in harmony with nature.
Nhoa is just 5 minutes from the beach and is surrounded by the most important tourist areas: Akumal beaches (30 min), Tulum archaeological zone (15 min), cenotes (15 min), and the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve (1h30).
Nhoa is a community made up of 36 two-bedroom apartments with a Lock-Off system, allowing you to divide the rooms and use or rent them separately. In addition, the development has amenities that let you live in comfort and luxury; you’ll find a gym, yoga terrace, restaurants, pools, and much more.
The development also has condo-hotel management, so you won’t have to worry about the administrative processes of managing your apartment, and if you want to rent out your unit, you can focus solely on receiving your earnings.
Nhoa and Aldea Zamá are the perfect combination to live and enjoy the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya; the amenities of both spaces add value and provide the best Tulum lifestyle experience. Learn more about Nhoa Condos Tulum and get inspired to invest in an apartment in Tulum!
