Resort real estate – we know that it’s excellent for vacationing and perhaps one of the best retirement options out there; yet, buyers may wonder if buying a condo or home within a resort complex in Mexico is a good investment in financial terms.  If Bahia Principe real estate near Tulum is any indication, then the following points suggest that it is.

High Rental Potential

Because of its location on Tulum’s most established resort, Bahia Principe real estate has very high appeal to vacationers who want to enjoy all the luxury, convenience and security of staying on a resort, but prefer added privacy.  In cases where small groups are vacationing together, a home also offers an attractive way to stay in the same quarters, while offering individual privacy as well.  The resort location also allows for direct exposure to vacationers.

Excellent Infrastructure

An important point for future property value is the extent to which surrounding infrastructure is in place.  Bahia Principe is a very well developed resort with large pools, a beach club, direct access to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, restaurants, oceanfront sports (kayaking, snorkeling, diving, etc.) and lounge areas.  There is also a 27-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II.  Buyers know that all of this full resort infrastructure and the accompanying lifestyle is 100% in place and functioning.  The success of the resort also offers a very high degree of confidence in ongoing cash-flow and investment.

High Appeal for Foreign Buyers

Besides the fact that all infrastructure is in place, the resort setting is a “safe ground” for future real estate buyers from other countries.  While in the past, many expat real estate buyers have been more adventurous spirits, the growing trend is that buyers want to feel the comfort of something that is similar to home, very secure, and crafted to their tastes and needs.  For this reason, real estate in a resort like Bahia Principe will tend to get preference among the majority future buyers for re-sale.

 

High Exposure to Foreign Buyers

Like in the question of rentals, the direct resort location gives direct exposure to a much larger number of international tourists, meaning it not only has preference when compared to the other options, but also it is more likely to be seen first as a feasible option for living in Mexico.

In conclusion, many of the same points that make a property in Bahia Principe appealing for vacationing and retirement also give it high investment potential and an edge over other property options.
