Puerto Aventuras Marina Living, Gated & Green
A private marina community where golf, sailing, and beach life converge behind secure gates. The choice for families and boat owners who value privacy, infrastructure, and a polished Caribbean lifestyle.
About Puerto Aventuras
Why Choose Puerto Aventuras?
Puerto Aventuras is the only gated marina community in the Riviera Maya, offering a unique blend of security and nautical lifestyle. Residents enjoy a 9-hole golf course, tennis, and waterfront dining — all within walking distance.
The marina is the centerpiece, accommodating yachts and sailboats with direct ocean access through a channel cut through the reef. For boat owners, this is paradise. For everyone else, the waterfront restaurants and dolphin encounters create a resort-like daily environment.
The community is divided into phases, each with its own character. Phase 1 and 2 are the most established, with beachfront condos and canal-front homes. Phase 4 represents the newest luxury expansion, with larger lots and modern architecture.
What sets Puerto Aventuras apart is the completeness. You can live here without a car — walk to the beach, the grocery store, the marina, and a dozen restaurants. The security gates provide peace of mind, especially for families with children.
The beach is calmer than many Riviera spots, protected by the reef and the channel walls. It's ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and families with young kids.
"Puerto Aventuras is where you know your neighbors, your kids can bike to the beach, and your boat is waiting at the dock. It's community in the best sense."

Location
Finding Your Place
in Puerto Aventuras
Puerto Aventuras sits on the coast between Playa del Carmen and Akumal, about one hour south of Cancun Airport. The community is entirely self-contained behind its security gates, with a single main entrance off Highway 307. Inside the gates, the layout is circular and walkable. The marina forms the northern hub, with the beach running along the eastern edge. Residential streets wind between, with canals cutting through the interior. The golf course occupies the center of the community, creating green space and views for surrounding homes. Most properties are within a 10-minute walk of either the marina, the beach, or both. Outside the gates, Highway 307 provides quick access north to Playa del Carmen (20 minutes) or south to Tulum (40 minutes). The location is central without being busy.
