Riviera Maya Elite

Area guide

Playa del Carmen

A walkable beach town at the heart of the Riviera Maya, with ferries to Cozumel and a lively Fifth Avenue.

Beach-town living with city services

Playa del Carmen grew from a fishing village into the Riviera Maya’s most popular place to live. Fifth Avenue, the beach and the Cozumel ferry are all within walking distance of the centre, and Cancún airport is under an hour away.

It suits buyers who want an active, international community with restaurants, clinics, schools and shopping close to home — and steady demand for rentals.
