All of the prime beachfront properties featured on this website are strategically located on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula (see Mayan Riviera), between Cancun and Puerto Morelos, and within fifteen minutes of Cancun's international airport.

The considerable shortage of land in the Cancun area and its high cost have prompted developers, hotel chains and private investors in search of quieter environments to begin looking souhwards to the Mayan Riviera. As a result of this, real estate prices in the Mayan Riviera are rising steadily.

These properties feature the best location in all of the Mayan Riviera. They are far enough from the hustle and bustle of Cancun to allow you to rest and relax, yet they are close enough for a quick visit to Cancun. In addition, the restructuring of traditionally strict land ownership laws has successfully attracted the participation of foreign investors (corporations and individuals).

Some large-scale development has already begun in the Puerto Morelos area of the Mayan Riviera. Punta Brava, south of the town's main square, is the site of a major hotel development by the El Cid hotel chain. In addition, many smaller international resort developments such as the Bahia Maya Resort and the Mayan Reef Resort have operations already functioning just a few kilometers north of Puerto Morelos.

The zoning requirements in this area are beginning to change, favoring larger development projects. Initially, lots in the area had a 15 unit per hectare density limit. Now, this limit is gradually being raised. Yet, these density changes are tempered by newly enacted environmental laws, written specifically to protect the local reef (recently designated a National Park) and to ensure a well-planned, high quality residential and commercial development.

Investment opportunities in this area are indeed enticing.
