Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo state government and the Isla Mujeres municipal government have warned that 18 real estate developments currently being marketed on the island hold none of the approvals required under state urban development law.
The state Urban Sustainable Territorial Development Department (SEDETUS), working with the Isla Mujeres city government, said the projects are also subject to administrative proceedings. Officials said the developments lack the required rulings, certifications, permits, licenses and authorizations under the state’s Human Settlements, Territorial Planning and Urban Development Law, its Urban Actions Law, its Condominium Property Law and the State Urban Development Program, as well as applicable municipal plans and regulations.
The 18 flagged developments
Officials listed the following projects, along with the parcel where each is located:
- Gran Ciudad Mujeres Stage 1 (parcel 661)
- Gran Ciudad Mujeres Stages 2 and 3 (parcel 552)
- Gran Ciudad Mujeres Stage 4 (parcel 590)
- Gran Isla Continental (parcel 688)

- Los Sauces (parcel 578)
- Jardines Pandora (parcel 486)
- Villa Maryvalle (parcel 667)
- Privada El Diamante (parcel 597)
SEDETUS urged residents and investors to avoid any purchase, sale, promise of sale, rental or other transaction involving these projects, warning that doing so could make them parties to crimes against urban development and put their assets at risk.
The department advised anyone with questions to contact SEDETUS for guidance before investing, and said buyers can check whether a development holds the necessary authorizations through the state’s online portal at desarrollo.sedetus.gob.mx/consultaDesarrollos.
The warning is the latest in a series of similar alerts. In recent weeks, SEDETUS issued notices about Villas Los Girasoles in Playa del Carmen and Villa Sol Naciente in Huay-Pix, and earlier flagged 26 developments operating without official permits in Tulum.
