Investing in Mexican beach real estate has become a highly profitable investment mechanism because tourists from all over the world have found an idyllic refuge in the Mexican Caribbean paradise. Discover below 7 reasons to invest in Mexican beach real estate.
1. Investing in beach real estate is easier than you think.
When you decide to buy a property (house, apartment or land) in a tourist destination such as the beaches of Mexico, it is important to define the objective you have with such property in the short, medium and long term. This decision includes several factors such as use, destination, budget and type of property.
Many people contemplate acquiring a house or apartment on the coast as a way of Second Homei.e, as a haven of rest a few weeks or months a year and thus live away from the rhythm of the city. Other types of buyers consider a property in a vacation destination as an investment opportunity, to profit from the capital gain of the property or through rents.
There is a third scenario where the investor acquires a complete property or simply a fraction of it, in order to use it for a specific number of weeks per year and keep the rest uninhabited or for rent.
When you decide the use you want to give to your property, the task of choosing the destination and type of property is much easier. You can even contemplate projects in pre-sale and immediate delivery modalities to opt for more competitive prices.
2. You improve your quality of life
Living permanently or a few weeks a year away from the big capitals of the world, means an improvement in your quality of life on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. In principle, you will be able to breathe much cleaner air, and traffic and travel times from one place to another will be considerably reduced.
The Mexican coasts offer a refuge for European citizens who wish to get away from the low temperatures experienced in their home countries during the winter. Countries such as Norway, Sweden, Germany and Finland have recorded temperatures as low as -40 °C in recent years.
Scientific studies reveal that the human mind reacts positively to an effect known as “blue space”, which is closely linked to panoramic views of the sea. In addition, vitamin D, which the body can absorb from sunlight, strengthens bones, fights depression, relieves stress and improves the digestive system.
Another point to highlight is that living near the sea brings considerable improvements to people’s sleep and rest. This occurs because the constant sound of the waves on the coast stimulates neurotransmitters in the brain, this stimulus promotes concentration in certain activities and, unconsciously, promotes a state of constant meditation.
All of the above improves your quality of life indirectly, and directly you can practice other types of activities such as walking on the beach, swimming or other types of water activities: surfing, sailing, diving, sport fishing and more.
3. Capital gains and future projects in Mexico’s main beaches.
Real estate investment in some of Mexico’s most important tourist destinations is currently undergoing a period of great interest. In this scenario, the real estate sector has gained strength thanks to the investment in projects that combine the best of tourist destinations such as climate, culture and people, to spaces full of luxury, comfort, amenities and a unique added value.
Tulum, in Quintana Roo, is a clear example of the importance of the real estate industry for the economy of the locals in the area. According to data from the Ministry of Economy, during 2019 alone, foreign investment increased economic activity in the area by 50%.
During the year 2021, the Government of Mexico announced the construction of a new airport for the City of Tulum. The project aims to increase the capacity to receive tourists. Figures from the State Competitiveness Index indicate that 1 out of every 3 people who arrive in Mexico from another part of the world do so through the state of Quintana Roo.
It is currently estimated that the capital gains on new real estate projects in Tulum range from 8% to 11% annually, and it is expected that this figure will continue to increase now that the health crisis has largely subsided and Mexican tourism is beginning to revive.
As a bonus: Mexican businessmen are currently in talks to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix in the Mexican Caribbean. The Cancun Formula 1 Grand Prix is expected to be a reality by 2025. This event will attract the attention of millions of people around the world and there is no doubt that it is excellent news for the entire local economy of the state.

4. You have more versatility to use your property
Owning a house or apartment in a tourist and paradisiacal destination has great advantages. In addition to using your property as a Second Home a few months a year or specific weeks, you can always keep it as a rental property for the time you don’t need it. In this way you make a profit with your property.
There are fractional ownership schemes where you and a small group of investors acquire a property and this gives you the right to use it for a certain number of weeks per year, usually 12 weeks, but this number will ultimately depend on the number of people involved. The great advantage of this scheme is that you do not have to bear the expenses and responsibilities individually. Another great advantage is that, in the future, you can sell your fraction of property to someone else and make a profit thanks to the capital gain generated by the property.

5. You earn income in other currencies and diversify your wealth by investing in real estate.
Investing in Mexican coastal real estate or other types of tourist destinations will position you in a foreign investment market. While the number of Mexicans who enjoy these destinations is high, for foreigners Mexico has become a hidden paradise in Latin America.
Figures from the Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR) report that there was a 31% increase in foreign tourists entering Mexico in 2021 compared to 2020. This number of visitors translates into $19,795 million dollars.
Results of the DataTur Hotel Monitoring System indicate that the percentage of total hotel occupancy will increase significantly by 2023. Destinations based on Mexican coasts showed a 55.9% increase in hotel occupancy rates at the beginning of 2022, and the latest record for August 2022 shows a total occupancy rate of 66.4%.
The success of full private property leasing has seen an increase in the last year. We see this in the case of companies like Airbnb. That is why today more than ever it is a great investment decision to acquire a rental property in a tourist destination: many people are looking for a more organic experience, connecting with the culture and locals of the surrounding areas, rather than an all-inclusive resort.
6. You don’t have to move away from the luxury and comfort of the world’s major cities.
