• What: 5,000 hectares of Puerto Morelos land designated as a Protected Natural Area (Yum Kaax)

• When: Certification issued on March 4, 2025

• Why: To safeguard critical ecosystems, migratory bird routes, and endangered species habitats

• Impact: Reduced land availability will drive up property values and prioritize eco-friendly developments, benefiting investors seeking Riviera Maya real estate growth for U.S. buyers and Canadians

Why This Matters For You

Whether you already own property here or are thinking about buying real estate in the Riviera Maya, this land protection significantly changes the investment landscape. With less land available for new developments, property near the Yum Kaax conservation area will become more valuable.

Key areas like Costa Mujeres, downtown Puerto Morelos, and greater Cancun are primed for real estate growth — especially for North American investors focused on long-term gains, sustainable living, and high rental yields.

Now is the time to adjust your investment strategy to capitalize on Riviera Maya investment opportunities for foreign investors while prime properties are still accessible.
