Real occupancy, nightly rates and RevPAR from live Airbnb calendars across the Riviera Maya, Banderas Bay and Los Cabos — the data layer for buying a Mexican vacation rental on numbers, not brochures.
Mexico is three distinct coasts: the Caribbean Riviera Maya (Tulum, Playa del Carmen), Pacific Banderas Bay (Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita, Punta de Mita) and the Baja resort market of Los Cabos. Largely USD-denominated demand and a well-trodden foreign-ownership route make it one of the most accessible markets for international buyers. For-sale listings ranked by verified yield are coming; the market data is already live below.

Yes. Within the “restricted zone” (within 50 km of the coast) foreigners hold residential property through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican corporation — a standard, well-established structure. Outside the restricted zone foreigners can hold title directly. Use a Mexican notary and real-estate lawyer.
The Riviera Maya has the largest tracked supply and the broadest international demand; Los Cabos runs the highest ADRs on a luxury resort profile; Banderas Bay (Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit) blends strong demand with comparatively accessible entry prices. The live data on this page compares them.
