Acquiring land or property on the beach is very rewarding, and not difficult at all if you plan your investment well. Like any business, you need to study and analyze every step, because otherwise, you could have a bad buying experience.

In general, investing requires a lot of planning, and doing so near the sea involves certain key aspects. Here we detail what you should consider before buying a lot, house, or apartment on the beach.

What type of property do you want?

Think about whether you want land or an existing property. If you choose a lot, determine the size and features of the residence you’ll build, but above all, make sure there are no restrictions on construction. If you prefer a property, you should also check for possible building limitations for future expansions.

Make sure the property complies with the relevant regulations

It’s crucial to verify the legality of the land or property. Check the titles, deeds, plans, and so on. In addition, it’s essential to know the property’s status in the Public Property Registry. Only after knowing the legal information can you proceed with the corresponding payments.

Think about location and connectivity

Besides deciding according to your tastes and needs, analyze the location and connectivity, as these are important aspects. Your property will be better and worth more in the future if it’s on a beach with a good location and is close to many attractions, services, shops, parks, schools, hospitals, transportation, and more.

Independent properties or residential developments?

Consider what suits you best. If you’re interested in residential complexes offering lots, villas, or apartments on the beach, find out about: the developer, the infrastructure and amenities of the complex, the finishes of the homes, among other details. It’s also useful to compare prices of real estate developments.

For the second year in a row, Mexico was chosen by expats as the best destination to live, according to the survey that InterNations conducts with expatriates from all over the world*. Nearly 12,000 people were surveyed, and, as happened in 2022, most chose the neighboring country of the U.S.

A long-time favorite

The Expat Insider survey has been conducted for 10 years, and in all of them Mexico has appeared among the top five places. Such preference is due to the culture, tourism, and the diversity of natural, gastronomic, and artistic attractions found in Mexican states.

In addition, for foreigners, the cost of living in Mexico is lower than in other countries, especially in destinations like CDMX, Monterrey, Guadalajara, and the Mexican Caribbean area in Quintana Roo. In this last place, people from all over the world arrive, thanks to the famous Riviera Maya.

Mexican beaches, captivating paradises

Mexico is one of the favorite places for expats because of its beautiful white sand beaches, blue waters, and warm climate. The country has incredible coastal areas, and the most visited are in the Riviera Maya, a place that offers many experiences by sky, sea, and land.

In the Riviera Maya, expats have a great variety: international restaurants, exclusive bars, sailing, snorkeling, diving, among others. Also, there are cities for every lifestyle: Cancun is for always “being on vacation.” Playa del Carmen is party and joy. And Tulum is more bohemian and discreet, ideal for relaxing.

Tulum, a jungle hideaway

Because of its abundant vegetation and peaceful lifestyle, Tulum is the perfect refuge for those seeking a more intimate life connected to nature.

In fact, this place is the most desired for moving. That’s why investing in real estate in Tulum is a success, since where there is capital gain, quality of life, and natural attractions, it’s very good to own property.

With its vast natural wealth, the Mexican Caribbean is a world-famous tourist destination that offers many opportunities to generate wealth through real estate investments.

For this reason, investing in the Mexican Caribbean is an excellent way to diversify your capital and access new business opportunities.

A paradise on earth like no other

Why choose the Mexican Caribbean? Real estate investments are more profitable in areas with a great location, high quality of life, and global tourism appeal. The Riviera Maya has all that and more, as it is a true earthly paradise to live in peace, surrounded by unique experiences and natural wonders such as:

• Crystal-clear beaches
• Cenotes
• Nature reserves
• Natural parks
• Archaeological sites

High tourist demand all year round

In the Riviera Maya, you can take advantage of the demand for accommodation by acquiring one or more properties and renting them out. This way, you gain profitability and multiple sources of income. In addition, the tourist flow in the area allows you to access international markets to further increase your earnings.

In the real estate market, there are many housing options to enjoy with your family, especially in destinations like the Riviera Maya, where the high demand for living spaces is met with increasingly innovative and luxurious residences, such as Town Homes.

The best of a house and an apartment, that's how we can describe Town Homes, or Town Houses, homes that share one or two walls with each other. Together, they form private residential communities, which stand out for their minimalist and modern architecture.

Homes that maximize space

The main feature of Town Homes is the shared side walls. Unlike houses, there is no hallway or open space between these properties, but they are just as comfortable, if not more, than a traditional residence.

Another aspect that sets them apart is their structure, which is similar to that of an apartment. Town Homes maximize space by building both horizontally and vertically, which increases comfort and makes it possible to have: a garden, pool, garage, balcony, and even a rooftop.

An increasingly attractive model

Although they don't have as much land as houses, these residences are highly appealing due to their cutting-edge style and the benefits they offer. For example, unlike a condominium, where you own a space, with Town Homes you own not only the building but also the land.

And while they share walls like apartments, they offer more advantages by being established under the condominium regime. That is, you have the possibility of enjoying common areas, security and surveillance, cleaning, trash collection included, among other services typical of a residential community.

The Riviera Maya, a great place to live

Built in compact spaces with many expansion options, Town Homes have gained interest in the best cities of the Mexican Caribbean, the favorite region for living life.

At Grupo Emerita, we know that living in the Riviera Maya is a dream for many, which is why we innovate and now offer you this versatile housing model in Beanna, an exclusive project between the jungle and the sea of Tulum.

Beanna is a private community of just eight Town Homes and various premium amenities, so you can live with style, comfort, and tranquility surrounded by nature.

We invite you to learn more about the project—this is your opportunity to live in Tulum with the highest luxury of modern life.

Tulum and Playa del Carmen are jewels of the Mexican Caribbean where investing means prospering, thanks to their high appreciation and natural attractions. Both destinations are ideal for investment focused on rentals, a business with two main players: the lessor and the lessee.

These two concepts are often confused when it comes to renting, but here we explain the differences between them.

First, the lease agreement  

To rent out a property, there must be a lease agreement, a document that proves one person temporarily grants another the use of a home in exchange for a certain price. This document includes elements such as: names of the parties, location and description of the property, rent amount, contract duration, some guarantee, among others.

The main players in the agreement  

There are two parties in this agreement: the lessor and the lessee. The first is the person who leases out a property. In other words, they are the owner of the property or someone authorized to rent it out. The lessee, on the other hand, is the person who pays a certain amount in exchange for the use of the lessor's property.

Roles of the lessor and lessee

Renting out a property is an excellent way to generate extra income; however, as a lessor you commit to: •    Deliver the property at the agreed time. •    Keep the property in good condition and make necessary repairs. •    Be liable for damages suffered by the lessee due to defects in the property. •    Pay for improvements made by the lessee when required by law. In the case of the lessee, temporarily occupying a home involves responsibilities such as: •    Paying the full rent on time. •    Repairing any damage caused by themselves or their family members. •    Using the property only for the agreed purpose. •    Returning the property in perfect condition when it's time to hand it back.

Your best option for rentals

Acquiring a property is a great way to boost your finances, especially in cities like Tulum and Playa del Carmen, which offer good returns on investment and a high quality of life. In both destinations, Grupo Emerita has projects designed to take advantage of tourism trends and help you earn more. We have apartment developments in the best areas to get into the rental business.

Real estate investment is the top choice to grow your money, as it offers many benefits. However, when you’re about to enter the real estate business, the question arises: What should I invest in? Lots, houses, or apartments?

Here we’ll talk about these three options.

Lots: a long-term investment

They are a good alternative if you don’t have specific plans and want to keep the land for a long time. Their features are:

• Easy to find

They can cost less than land with a building.

• Appreciation and profitability

Their value and profitability increase if they are in a location with services and good infrastructure around.

• Several usage options

You can build for yourself or develop businesses such as: having a property to rent, opening a store or gym, setting up offices for companies, among others.

Houses: a way to secure your assets

This is the most common investment because everyone needs a home to live in and to protect their capital in case of emergency. Their features are:

• You save on construction

After the initial investment, you can use the property right away.

• Your money in motion

Houses gain value every year, according to the area’s growth and the property’s condition, which is beneficial for a future sale.

• Short-term benefits

They allow you to earn income through rentals. You can rent to families for long periods, or choose short-term rentals through digital apps like Airbnb.

Apartments: more spaces to earn

They are known for offering, in addition to basic spaces, amenities like terraces and pools that improve quality of life. Their advantages are:

• They are part of large projects

They are usually part of real estate developments that include recreational spaces, green areas, and top-level urbanization.

• Greater housing offer

They are more spacious than a traditional house and have luxurious surroundings and premium services.

• Ideal for vacation rentals

Because of the amenities around them, they are perfect for renting. They offer what tourists are looking for, especially in top destinations like the Riviera Maya.

The Mexican southeast has many real estate developments, but one so closely connected to nature can only be found in Tulum. We're talking about Kaybé, the ideal project to invest in thanks to its lot offerings and its privileged location between the jungle and the sea.

Kaybé is a great real estate investment, proven by its infrastructure that blends the natural and ancestral with luxury and exclusivity. Its quality services, unique amenities, and lush pathways leading deep into the jungle, to the sea, and now also to Parque del Jaguar, are further proof.

A major attraction next to Kaybé

Right next to Kaybé, Parque del Jaguar is under construction—a federal project that will protect the region's flora and fauna. It will be a thousand-hectare space designed for public visits and low-impact tourism, featuring recreational areas, bike paths, museums, and more.

Thanks to its size and infrastructure, it will be a place to connect with the environment and a benchmark for ecological heritage conservation. In addition to revaluing Protected Natural Areas (ANP) and archaeological sites, the park will generate more tourism and economic benefits for residents, tourists, and investors alike.

The south is living important years

The country's southeast has always enjoyed strong development, but in recent years, the area has been revitalized in the eyes of the world. Now it's experiencing exponential growth thanks to projects like the Maya Train and the new Tulum Airport in Quintana Roo.

Quintana Roo, in particular, is the most benefited, as in 2023 alone, the state is receiving an investment of 42 billion pesos* destined for the Maya Train, the modernization of Chetumal International Airport, and, of course, Parque del Jaguar in Tulum.

Your best decision for the future

What is also continuously increasing in the Mexican southeast is real estate investment, especially in Tulum, where Parque del Jaguar is set to become the new meeting point for both national and international tourism.

This park makes Kaybé even more attractive, because in addition to the best lots you'll find in paradise, you get the unmatched proximity to a new and incredible natural destination.

Take advantage of Tulum's growth and invest in Kaybé, the development located right next to Parque del Jaguar, the new treasure of Quintana Roo. Learn more about Kaybé and make the decision to invest in the brightest area of Mexico.
