Condos
Condo inventory in Xpu-Ha is limited — the corridor is dominated by villas. The few beach condos that exist serve guests who want premium positioning without the operational footprint of a full pool-and-grounds estate.

Xpu-Has tracking pool is intentionally tiny-large estate homes dominate and print very high nightly medians during holiday compression. Peak occupancy is lower than condominium markets because minimum stays stretch and inventory is gated. Operators should emphasize concierge pacing, housekeeping depth, and insurance-grade documentation versus volume metrics.

FAQ
Owning property in Xpu Ha: common questions
Xpu-Ha is Quintana Roo's highest-ceiling villa market: zero hotel competition, pristine cenote-fed beach, ultra-low inventory, and ultra-high-net-worth guests who pay $500–$900+/night without negotiating. Most of the market is 4-to-8-bedroom pool villas with full grounds. Net annual revenue depends heavily on photography, concierge service, and how the listing converts at premium price points. We model realistic projections during onboarding using current Xpu-Ha villa comparables. See our Xpu-Ha property management page.
Xpu-Ha villa management is a full-time hospitality operation. Pool, grounds, multiple bathrooms, beachfront access, security, vendor coordination, pre-arrival concierge (chef booking, grocery stocking, in-villa massages, transport from Cancún airport), and guest expectations for sub-1-hour response times. The 15% fee on a $700/night villa is a different operational scope than 15% on a $200/night condo — the workload scales with the asset. PlayaStays staffs Xpu-Ha villas accordingly.
Xpu-Ha villas typically produce six-figure annual revenue when well-managed and well-photographed. December–April peaks (Christmas/New Year hits $1,500+/night for top villas), Spring Break, summer family travel, and concentrated wedding season layer on top of weekend curves. Off-peak weeks book at premium rates with the right minimum stays and concierge-level service. We model realistic projections during onboarding using current Xpu-Ha villa comparables.
Yes. Xpu-Ha sits in Mexico's restricted coastal zone, so foreign nationals own through a fideicomiso (50-year renewable bank trust) or a Mexican corporation (SRL). The Xpu-Ha buyer pool is heavily international (US, Canada, Europe) with significant foreign-owner activity. PlayaStays works regularly with foreign owners on title coordination, RFC compliance, and monthly statements formatted for Mexican RFC and US/Canadian tax preparation.
Yes. Most short-term rentals in Xpu-Ha require RETUR-Q (Quintana Roo state tourism registration), and the state collects a 6% Hospedaje tax per booking. Some adjacent gated developments additionally enforce HOA rules on guest registration and minimum stays. PlayaStays handles RETUR-Q registration, hospedaje remittance, and HOA documentation as part of standard onboarding for managed villas.
Xpu-Ha's direct beachfront exposure makes hurricane preparation essential — June–November risk window, peak August–October. Large villas with pools, grounds, and outdoor furniture require more 72-hour pre-landfall coordination than condos. Our protocol: annual May assessment, full pre-landfall lockdown (shutters, all outdoor furniture stowed, vehicles moved, water/food staged for staff if needed), 24-hour post-storm inspection, photo documentation for insurance claims. Owner notification within 24 hours of any incident, regardless of hour.
