The Charm of Living with Resort-Style Amenities
In recent years, apartments with resort-style amenities have become the most sought-after type of property in tourist destinations such as Playa del Carmen, Tulum, and Puerto Morelos. And it is no coincidence: more and more buyers value something more than square meters; they are looking for a complete life experience.
Beyond Four Walls: A Life of Experiences
Today, an apartment should not only have a good layout and modern finishes. Buyers want much more:
- Lagoon-style pools
- Roof gardens with jungle views
- Equipped gyms
- Spa or wellness area
- Movie theaters
- Coworking spaces
- Kids’ club and pet-friendly parks
These resort-style amenities elevate the perception of value and turn the development into a true urban oasis.

Advantages for Investors and Final Buyers
This type of property is not only attractive for its aesthetics or comfort. They also have a strong impact on the purchase decision:
- Greater sales speed: Units with access to premium amenities sell faster.
- Profitability through Airbnb: These amenities increase the price per night and occupancy.
- Guaranteed capital gains: By improving the user experience, they increase retention and the value of the property.
The Emotional also Sells in Apartments with Resort-Style Amenities
From consumer psychology, we know that the desire to belong to a community, enjoy quality time, or take care of health deeply influences the purchase. A simple court or a yoga deck can make the difference.
Riviera Maya: the Ideal Terrain to Enjoy Apartments with Resort-Style Amenities
In places like Playa del Carmen, these resort-style developments offer a refuge from the urban chaos, ideal for those looking for a second residence or property for vacation rental. The climate, nature, and relaxed lifestyle reinforce this type of project as the most desirable.
International Trend
This trend is not exclusive to Mexico. In markets such as Miami, Bali, or Lisbon, condos with resort-style amenities are the most sought after. The Riviera Maya is replicating this model with great success.
Tips if You are Going to Buy One
- Verify that the amenities are indeed operational (not just in plans).
- Evaluate the maintenance cost.
- Think about your market if you are going to rent it (families, digital nomads, retirees).
Conclusion: more than a Trend, an Intelligent Decision
