The areas with the highest capital gains in Cancun in 2025: Where to invest successfully
Talking about real estate capital gains in Cancún means talking about strategic vision. As advisors in this city for years, I’ve seen how certain areas have radically transformed, doubling or even tripling their value in a short period of time. 2025 is a key year for smart investing, and in this article, I share the areas that are generating the most capital gains today and why they remain a winning bet.
Hotel Zone: The Classic That Never Fails
Cancún’s Hotel Zone is and will continue to be one of the areas with the highest added value in all of Mexico. The reason? Simple: the beach.
Cancún is a destination that attracts millions of visitors for its turquoise sea. People don’t come just for the city or the ruins; they come for the beach and the oceanfront experience. This makes any property located oceanfront or just a few meters from the coast extremely in demand.
I’ve seen properties from 20 or 30 years ago that continue to rent at premium prices, thanks to their location and a simple remodel. One-bedroom oceanfront apartments rent for between $2,000 and $4,500 pesos per night, which means immediate and continuous profitability, in addition to the resale value that grows every year.
Colosio Avenue: Cancún’s New Miami
If there’s one area that’s taking off strongly, it’s Colosio Avenue. Today, it’s known as “the next Miami” due to the quality of the developments arriving: modern towers overlooking the Nichupté Lagoon and the Hotel Zone, and with key connections like the Nichupté Bridge, which will reduce travel times to just 5 minutes.
Projects that recently cost between 2 and 3 million pesos have seen annual increases of 17% to 20% in capital gains. This area is attractive not only because of its still-affordable entry prices, but also because it is supported by public investment in infrastructure and a vertical city model with first-class amenities.
Puerto Cancún: Opportunities in its Last Lots
Puerto Cancún is a benchmark for luxury and exclusivity. Today, it remains one of the most solid areas in terms of capital gains, although its entry price is higher. However, valuable opportunities still exist.
At this time, the last pre-sales are being marketed on the last available lots. If you choose the right project and buy early, you can achieve up to 100% capital gains upon delivery, especially if you work with established developers, like those who have consistently worked in this area.
Investments in Puerto Cancún are not speculative; they are strategic. Furthermore, the buyer profile here is long-term, which generates greater price stability and a more solid real estate environment.
If you’re looking to successfully invest in Cancún in 2025, the areas with the highest capital gains are clear: the Hotel Zone, Avenida Colosio, and Puerto Cancún. Whether due to proximity to the sea, new projects, or consolidation of luxury properties, all offer profitability, security, and sustained growth.
