Mayan Riviera and Playa del Carmen Real Estate - Condos for Sale in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

The Caribbean has long been a vacation destination for Canadian travelers. The powdery white sand beaches and turquoise blue water, warm climate and festive atmosphere have offered Canadians a one or two week winter getaway in “paradise” for decades. However, due to today’s shrinking world and global economy many Canadians want their own piece of paradise and are looking to invest in Caribbean real estate.

One of the most beautiful, affordable and accessible areas of the Caribbean is located in Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula. This stretch of Caribbean beach from just south of Cancun to Tulum is known as the Mayan Riviera. The specific place that provides the most lucrative real estate investment is the city of Playa del Carmen and the surrounding area which is located 35 miles south of the Cancun International Airport.

Until just a few years ago, Playa del Carmen was a small, quaint Caribbean beach resort, relatively unknown. However, recently it has been undergoing major changes in infrastructure and development. There is a rapidly-growing tourism industry with five-star resort developments including PGA golf courses and other tourist attractions and amenities. Major westernization is taking place as well with the opening of mega-shopping malls, designer boutiques, Starbucks and other American retail chains.

Despite all this change Playa del Carmen still has a quaintness and charm about it that mixes Western, European, Mexican and Caribbean flavor which makes it a very unique place where people of many languages and nationalities can feel comfortable. For this reason more and more people are looking to this area as a retirement destination and many private residence developments are being constructed. Mayan Riviera real estate, especially in the Playa del Carmen area, is an incredible yet still very affordable investment. Luxurious condos in beach-front Mayan Riviera resorts are still within the price range of anyone looking to purchase a second home.

Grand Coral Riviera Maya is a luxurious mega-development located inside the Playa del Carmen city limits—a “city” within a city. It is adjacent to Playa del Carmen’s famous downtown district, a favorite tourist attraction on the Mayan Riviera. Grand Coral covers 531 acres which includes a ¾ mile stretch of pristine Caribbean beach-front real estate.

This mega-development will be divided into separate districts which include the largest commercial shopping area in the region, five-star hotels, beach clubs, fashion districts, a Nick Price PGA approved championship golf course and luxurious private residential zones which are considered prime Mayan Riviera real estate investments.

Grand Coral is a totally environmentally-friendly resort. 75% of the area in the project will be landscaped grounds, natural forests, lakes and ecologically protected zones. The world’s second largest coral reef (which is also the second largest living organism on the planet) is located directly in front of Grand Coral. The developers of Grand Coral are dedicated to preserving this natural wonder so that the residents can enjoy it forever.

Grand Coral Riviera Maya is being developed by two of the largest and most successful banks in Spain—Bancaja and Banco Valencia. It is the largest development in the entire Mayan Riviera as well as one of the largest in all of Mexico in terms of investment, land area and population density. The size and uniqueness of the property combined with the special characteristics of the region provide an unprecedented opportunity for international Mayan Riviera real estate investors.

Mareazul is the premier private beach front residential development in Grand Coral Riviera Maya. It is luxury beach-front condo living redefined. All the condominiums have ocean views and private balconies. They all have designer fixtures and are constructed with the finest craftsmanship, blending elements of wood, stone, water and light into sleek, modern design. The two to four bedroom units feature top-of-the-line appliances and electronics, as well as fully-equipped kitchens and a range of options including roof-top decks and private splash pools. An oasis of eight landscaped acres includes a botanical Mayan garden, over 10,000 square feet of pools with private cabanas, sun decks and waterfalls as well as gourmet cafes, world-class beach club and spa, fitness center and over 650 feet of private pristine white sand beach—all located along the shore of the Mexicain Caribbean. Owners are also entitled to membership at the 18 hole championship golf course designed by PGA legend, Nick Price.
