Developments and real estate investments in Merida and the Riviera Maya

Summer on the Yucatecan coast: The Best Time to Invest in Front of The Sea

Written by SIMCA Desarrollos | May 26, 2026 4:29:08 PM

The start of summer generates a logical reaction (especially in Yucatan): getaways to the beach. Tourism growth is no longer concentrated only in Merida; today, beach destinations attract domestic and international travelers seeking sophisticated oceanfront experiences.

As tourism continues to evolve, the demand for vacation experiences that combine luxury, privacy, and exclusivity has also grown. Yucalpeten Resort Marina’s beachfront apartments deliver exactly that: an upcoming strategic asset for your portfolio designed to connect with the new wave of premium tourism in Yucatán.

Rising Tourism: Key Insights to Capitalize on It

Tourism in Yucatan during the summer of 2025 grew by 20.2% compared to the previous year. In the first seven months alone, the state welcomed more than 1.5 million visitors, with 246,000 overnight stays recorded in July1. Beyond Merida, demand expanded into Pueblos Magicos (“Magic Towns”), archaeological sites, and beach destinations.

As tourism continues to grow year after year, beachfront apartments hold strong profitability potential through premium lodging rates and exposure on vacation rental platforms. Developments like Yucalpeten Resort Marina further enhance that value through their real estate proposition, exclusive amenities, and privileged proximity to Merida.

A Community Aligned with Luxury Tourism

We developed Yucalpeten Resort Marina to become a landmark for nautical luxury along the entire Yucatán coast. The Residential Zone is home to its residential towers, but what truly sets this project apart is its Beach Club, featuring luxury amenities designed for the community’s enjoyment, as well as its private Marina with capacity for 110 slips.

The presence of its private Marina strengthens the property’s long-term value and positions it with a competitive edge within the premium vacation rental market. This lifestyle offering aligns with the expectations of high-net-worth travelers, driving strong demand during peak tourism seasons.
