As we had commented in a previous article, when a real estate investor sets his eyes on the Mexican Caribbean, he must analyze all destinations very well before making a purchase decision, since despite sharing most of the great virtues of this coast, the different cities of Quintana Roo also have great differences.

Playa del Carmen is a relatively emerging destination in this state, it has only 20 years since real estate growth has begun. In all these years it has remained at the top of the destinations to invest worldwide, why? Next we will explain what this city is all about...

In its beginnings, Playa del Carmen was a fishing village that took on great importance since it was the access route to Cozumel, the ferry to this destination set sail from there. Little by little it became a favorite destination for European backpackers who, shocked by the beauty of its beaches and its rustic, natural and relaxed atmosphere, began to choose it as the favorite destination both to vacation and to come and start a new life.

At the beginning of 2000, Playa del Carmen attracts the attention of very exclusive hoteliers and restaurateurs in Mexico, who begun to create a destination by openning iconic boutique hotels such as those of Grupo Hábita (Desire and Básico) and restaurants with unique concepts such as Casa del Agua, Ula-Gula and the famous Diablito Cha Cha Cha. Playa del Carmen became a "hot spot" internationally and followed by this, as always happens, comes the real estate boom.

Since that date, Playa del Carmen has not stopped growing, it evolves minute by minute, what was once a fishing village that became a top destination for young people, today it is also a cosmopolitan city perfectly suitable for families. All this caused Playa del Carmen, to be at some point, the city with the fastest growth in the world.

Today Playa del Carmen is the perfect city for people looking for the tranquility of a small place, with the services of a large city and with a very interesting cultural exchange derived from the many nationalities that share this destination as their home.

The culinary and tourist services offer is very wide, and it continues to top the lists of the most requested tourist destinations worldwide, reason why it also continues being a big business in terms of real estate investment.

The real estate market in Playa del Carmen has been and continues to be one of the most stable in the country and with the best returns on investment.
