Real Estate in Playa del Carmen: Why Many Italians Are Investing in the Riviera Maya
Dear readers of the interviews page of magazine online of the Best Entertainment, we are pleased to introduce you: Monique Enriquez. Someone might be interested in Mexico? Or USA… Canada? Let’s hear what he tells us…
Can you introduce yourself to our readers?
My name is Monique Enriquez, founder of Monique Luxe Realty in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. I help international buyers — especially from Canada, the USA, and Europe — invest in Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Isla Mujeres. My approach is simple, strategic, and clear real estate guidance for people who want an elevated lifestyle and long‐term value investment.
Why did you start working in real estate in the Riviera Maya?
I moved to Mexico because I saw a fast‐growing market with strong rental demand, beautiful lifestyle, and great investment opportunities. Many people want to live near the beach, work remotely, or buy a vacation home. The Riviera Maya is perfect for this.
Why are so many Italians moving to Playa del Carmen?
There is a very active Italian community here. Italians love Playa because it is multicultural, safe, inclusive, and full of life. Many have opened restaurants, cafés, and small businesses. Others buy property for rental income or for a second home. The lifestyle is relaxed, the food is tasty, and the beach is very close — it feels like you are on vacation everyday.
What should Italians know before buying property in Mexico?
Buying in Mexico is simple when you have the right guidance. Here are the basics:
● Foreigners can buy property legally.
● You do not need to be a resident.
● Pre‐construction is popular which offers good prices and flexible payment plans.
● Rental income is strong all year.
● Playa del Carmen is one of the safest and most desirable markets in Mexico.
At Monique Luxe Realty, I work with a team of certified in‐house agents, a legal team specializing in fideicomiso and escrow services, and a notary to facilitate a smooth, transparent process. This ensures every buyer feels safe, supported, and confident from start to finish.
What types of properties are most popular with Italian buyers?
Most Italians choose:
● Modern condos near the beach
● Units with strong rental potential
● Homes in quiet residential areas
● Pre‐construction projects with good payment plans
They want comfort, good design, and a place that feels like a real home.
What makes Playa del Carmen a good investment?
Playa is growing fast. Tourism is strong. Digital nomads are moving here. The rental market is active all year. Property prices are still affordable compared to Europe and North America.
And the lifestyle — beautiful beaches, cenotes, wellness living, international gastronomy, local entertainment, mayan culture — is a big attraction.
What is “Curated Living” and why is it important?
Curated living means choosing a home and a lifestyle that supports your happiness, health, and daily life. It’s not only about buying a property — it’s about creating a life you love. Many Italians come to Playa for this reason: better weather, a relaxed lifestyle, more energy and freedom. To help buyers, I publish a Monthly Real Estate Guide that features a presale or ready-to-deliver project in Playa del Carmen or Tulum, giving readers a clear look at the current and available investment opportunities. I am also launching the Curated Living and Property Investment Plan Series, which provides step‐by‐step advice on lifestyle and investment strategies in the Riviera Maya. These guides make the process simple and inspiring, so buyers feel confident every step of the way.
