About Maya Beach

Maya Beach occupies the quieter northern third of the peninsula, where the beaches are noticeably wider and the pace slower than the village. It has evolved into a refined enclave of boutique hotels, standout restaurants and well-spaced beach homes, attracting retirees and second-home owners who want calm and space without sacrificing dining quality. Values here favor detached beach homes and villas, typically USD 350,000-1.2M, alongside lower-density condos. Appreciation tracks the peninsula's 7-9%, and the area's reputation for the best beaches supports premium pricing and steady vacation-rental demand at 6-10% gross yields. Full freehold ownership for foreigners, 8% stamp tax and no capital-gains tax apply.
