About this home
Porto Playa, Unit 218 — ground floor • Playa del Carmen — just steps from 5th Avenue and the beach • 105 m² | 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms • Private tropical garden terrace framed by natural sapote tree trunks • Marble and travertine floors | Carved wooden furniture in a tropical colonial style • Fully equipped kitchen: louvered wood cabinets, marble countertops • Master bathroom: double gold onyx sinks on a wooden vanity • AC | Ceiling fans | Fully furnished | Heated pool | Gym • Average occupancy: 60%+ | Maintenance fee: $476 USD/month • Price: $289,000 USD Porto Playa Unit 218 is a fully furnished ground-floor apartment distinguished by two key features: a private tropical garden terrace framed by two large natural sapote tree trunks, and a consistent level of finishes — marble floors, golden onyx sinks, and carved tropical colonial-style wood furniture — that clearly sets it apart from comparable units in this price range. The 105 m² open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen features floor-to-ceiling honey-colored louvered wood cabinets, a full suite of appliances, and a marble dining table that seats six. The living room offers a distinct visual identity with a curved sectional sofa, tropical throw pillows, and a dark carved wood entertainment unit. Both bedrooms are equally well-finished: the master bedroom features a king-size bed, a headboard carved in an X-pattern, a wardrobe with shutters, and a double bathroom with onyx sinks; the second bedroom has twin beds, garden views, and a marble bathroom with an onyx sink and a glass shower. Porto Playa features a heated pool, a gym, and excellent walking access to 5th Avenue and the beach. Priced at $289,000 USD with documented occupancy of over 60% and monthly maintenance fees of $476, this is a unique property with a proven track record of returns in one of Playa del Carmen’s most sought-after areas.
Buying in Mexico as a foreigner
Yes, foreigners can buy property in Mexico.
Outside the restricted zone they may acquire directly, subject to applicable procedures. For residential purposes within the restricted zone, an authorized bank trust is commonly used.
- Near coasts and borders
- The Mexican Constitution establishes a restricted zone extending 100 km along borders and 50 km along coastlines.
- Residency
- Property investment of ~$220,000 USD (amount varies by exchange rate) can qualify you for Temporary Residency.
- Taxes and closing costs
- They depend on the state, the municipality and the property itself, so there is no single national figure. Ask the agent or our Concierge for an estimate on this home.
- Financing
- Financing for foreign buyers exists, but depends on the lender, residency, income, credit profile, down payment, location and property type.
How buying works

Offer and contract
Define price, currency, deposits, conditions, timelines and default consequences.
Permit or trust
Determine whether direct acquisition, a Foreign Affairs permit or a restricted-zone trust applies.
Notarial closing
The notary formalizes the transaction, calculates or withholds applicable charges and handles registry filing.
This information is general and educational. Legal, tax, immigration and purchase requirements may change and should be verified with a notary, attorney or authorized adviser in the state where the property is located. Research last reviewed July 2026.
