The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya

The Ritz-Carlton Residences Riviera Maya is a Ritz-Carlton branded residential community in Punta Venado, in the municipality of Solidaridad, Quintana Roo. It sits on a 180-acre site (about 73 hectares) of jungle, mangrove and Caribbean coastline, with roughly 1,600 feet (close to 500 meters) of crescent-shaped beachfront. According to the developer, buildings take up less than 15% of the land, and white-sand paths wind through the grounds for walking and cycling. There are 129 residences in three collections, all delivered fully furnished and each with a private terrace. The 72 Grand Residences are one- and two-level condominiums with 2 bedrooms, 3 bedrooms or 3 bedrooms plus a den, ranging from 1,626 to 2,110 sq ft (151 to 196 m²). The 42 Mangrove Cottages sit within the mangrove and connect to the beach, the spa and the Aldea village by raised boardwalks. They offer 3 bedrooms plus a den on one or two levels, 2,967 to 3,021 sq ft (276 to 281 m²), with a terrace and a plunge pool. Both collections come with ocean, oasis or sunset views and, according to the developer's floor plans, have 2.5 to 4.5 baths depending on the layout; the price table lists the size and bath count of each type. The 15 Beachfront Estates are the collection set right on the beach, with direct access to the sand: 5 bedrooms over three levels, 4,252 sq ft (395 m²) of interior space plus about 1,000 sq ft of terrace, 5 full baths and 2 powder rooms, a top-floor plunge pool and an open-air atrium. Architecture and interiors are by Sordo Madaleno. Life here revolves around the beach and the Aldea. Residents have their own beach club with a pool, and the Catamaran Club is reserved for owners and their guests. There are four pools plus The Lagoon, a family swim and splash area; a full-service spa; a Racquet Club with tennis and pickleball courts; and the Aldea, the social heart of the resort, home to The Farmhouse, a Kids Club, a Teens Club, the Excursion Lounge and the Ambassadors of the Environment program. The developer cites more than 20 food and beverage concepts and an All-Access model: every owner can enjoy all of the resort's amenities, restaurants and experiences, with Ritz-Carlton service. According to the developer, Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventuras are about 15 minutes away by car, Tulum about 45 minutes, and Cancun International Airport about 45 minutes without traffic. Cozumel is visible from the shore. Prices are in US dollars and vary by view and residence type, from $1,824,000 USD for a 2-bedroom-plus-den Oasis View residence to $10,995,000 USD for a 5-bedroom Beachfront Estate. It is selling in pre-construction, and the delivery date is still to be confirmed. Nautilus offers these residences and shares current availability on WhatsApp; we do not publish return projections. Because the property lies within Mexico's restricted coastal zone, foreign buyers purchase through a bank trust (fideicomiso); the acquisition tax (ISAI) in Solidaridad is 4%. The Ritz-Carlton brand is used under license: the residences are developed by RMLA, Oleum Joint Venture, and are not owned or developed by The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.
