Living in a golf course community, particularly in the enchanting Riviera Maya region of Mexico, offers a unique blend of luxury, serenity, and a host of benefits that cater to a lifestyle of comfort, health, and sustainability. The Riviera Maya is known for its stunning beaches, lush tropical forests, and, importantly, its world-class golf courses that make it a coveted location for homebuyers seeking an exclusive living experience. Here, we delve into the myriad advantages of calling a golf course community in this paradise home.
The Riveria Maya stretches over 120 km (75 miles) from the South edge of Cancun to Tulum. While Cancun is a large city with the hotel zone and the one of the busiest airport in all of Mexico, in the Riveria Maya much of the land is lush tropical forests, stunning beaches and archeological sites. The mid-point of the Riveria Maya is the Caribbean town of Playa del Carmen. The other small towns along the way such as well known Tulum and Puerto Morales are laid back and have different personalities. Overall, the Riveria Maya rural character has enabled large-area development of world-class golf courses and integrated neighbourhoods.
The communities that are in and around these golf courses are coveted locations for homebuyers seeking a living experience close to nature, with a high standard of living and services, and great value for money. Here are some of the communities:
