Mayakoba Country Club Backs 550 Million Peso Residential Expansion in Riviera Maya

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Mayakoba Country Club is moving into a major new construction phase, with 550 million pesos earmarked for residential communities, a golf course and clubhouse between 2026 and 2029.

For prospective homeowners and investors, the announcement is significant not only because of the number of properties planned, but because it gives firmer delivery dates to amenities that have been part of the project’s long-term vision since its launch in 2018.

Ernesto Torres, general director of Mayakoba Country Club, said five residential condominiums are now being developed simultaneously across approximately 85,000 square meters. Together, they contain 380 lots and are expected to support close to 900 homes once fully built out.

In this context, “condominiums” generally refers to private residential subdivisions governed under a condominium regime, rather than five apartment buildings. The inventory includes individual homesites and larger parcels that other developers can use for multifamily projects.

The five subdivisions are scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. Torres said between 60 and 70 percent of the available inventory has already been sold.

What buyers can expect to pay

Individual lots generally range from 300 to 500 square meters, with reported prices of 9,000 to 15,000 pesos per square meter. That places the approximate land cost between 2.7 million and 7.5 million pesos, depending on the lot’s size, location and position within the development.

The official Ciudad Mayakoba website currently advertises golf-course lots starting at about $170,000 USD and financing of up to 48 interest-free monthly payments. It also says more than 220 lots have already been delivered.

Those figures cover the land, not the cost of designing and constructing a home. Buyers should also account for closing expenses, architectural requirements, building permits, condominium fees and eventual golf or club memberships. The exact services included in regular maintenance fees should be confirmed in the purchase contract.

An 18-hole course designed by Sergio García

Once the current residential work is completed, investment is expected to shift toward the development’s 18-hole golf course, designed by Spanish professional Sergio García. Construction has started on the first nine holes, with the complete course scheduled for delivery by mid-2029.

The main clubhouse is expected to open in early 2028. Plans include swimming pools, tennis and padel courts, a gym, restaurant, practice facilities and family recreation areas. Residents are also offered access to a separate beach club, according to the project’s promotional materials.

The golf course should not be confused with El Camaleón, the established course inside the neighboring Mayakoba resort. Mayakoba Country Club is part of Ciudad Mayakoba, a separate master-planned residential community located across the highway from the luxury hotel complex.

Ciudad Mayakoba covers approximately 409 hectares and includes several distinct developments offering apartments, townhouses, finished homes and custom lots. Country Club accounts for about 161 hectares divided into 15 residential sections. The wider master plan also incorporates schools, commercial areas, parks and more than 16 miles of walking and cycling paths. The developer says over 35 percent of Ciudad Mayakoba is reserved as green space.

Most buyers are Mexican

Domestic purchasers account for approximately 80 percent of Country Club sales, led by buyers from Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and Querétaro. The remaining 20 percent reportedly comes from the United States and Canada.

That buyer mix suggests the project is attracting people interested in full-time or seasonal residential use, rather than relying entirely on the foreign vacation-rental market. Its location north of central Playa del Carmen, near schools, supermarkets and the Cancún-Playa highway, may also appeal to families and professionals who do not need to live within walking distance of the beach.

For investors, the golf course and clubhouse could strengthen resale demand once completed. However, planned amenities should never be treated as guaranteed appreciation. Values will also depend on construction quality, maintenance costs, community occupancy, surrounding infrastructure and whether the remaining delivery schedule is met.
