Living in Puerto Aventuras: the Riviera Maya’s most complete gated community
A secure, self-contained lifestyle by the sea
Located just 20 minutes south of Playa del Carmen and 30 minutes north of Tulum, Puerto Aventuras is one of the most established and desirable gated communities in the Riviera Maya — offering a rare blend of beachfront, marina, golf, and residential life, all within a secure, walkable environment.
This private community was designed with long-term living in mind. Unlike many tourist zones that evolved from hotel corridors, Puerto Aventuras functions as a true residential town within a resort. It features controlled access, its own school, supermarket, medical services, cafés, shops, sports facilities, and exclusive beach clubs — making it especially appealing for families, retirees, and boat owners alike.

Private marina and boat slips with direct Caribbean access
9-hole golf course and tennis courts
