Real estate tourism is a practice that has gained momentum in recent years. This type of tourism involves visiting a destination with the purpose of buying or renting a property for investment or to obtain a second home for vacations. This practice has proven to be very successful and profitable in the Riviera Maya.
In this article, we will delve deeper into why the Riviera Maya has become the top destination for real estate tourism in recent years, and how to take advantage of it.
Mexico’s favorite vacation destination
The Riviera Maya is a complete vacation destination. Its calm, warm climate is ideal for its outstanding ecotourism offerings, and its cuisine also strengthens the destination. In addition, cities like Tulum and Playa del Carmen have modern infrastructure with hospitals, airports, train and bus stations, ideal for tourists.
The official figures don’t lie. The Mexican Caribbean closed 2024 as the preferred destination in Mexico for foreign tourists, receiving almost half a million visitors1. In terms of hotel occupancy, Playa del Carmen stood out at the beginning of 2025 with an impressive 95% hotel occupancy rate2.
These are very encouraging numbers for investors interested in taking advantage of tourism in the Riviera Maya through real estate investment.
