Gated condos in Playacar Phase II with Porcelanosa finishes and resident beach-club access

Behind the gates of Playacar Phase II, on the golf-course side of Playa del Carmen. Macondo Residences is a gated condo development in Playacar, set around the Hard Rock golf course, with Porcelanosa interiors and resident access to Playacar’s beach clubs. Floor plans cover 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom residences and penthouses from about 969 sq ft (90 m²), some with private rooftops and plunge pools. One-bedroom condos start at $369,281 USD ($6,351,644 MXN, approximate at 17.20 MXN/USD).

Playacar Phase II is a gated, low-density grid of homes and small condos wrapped around the 18-hole golf course, with the Xaman-Ha Aviary and Mayan ruins inside the community. The southern end of Fifth Avenue and the beach are about five minutes away by car or golf cart, and the Cozumel ferry sits just beyond. Cancún International Airport is roughly a 50-minute drive north, with the Playa del Carmen Tren Maya station inland nearby.

What do the condos at Macondo offer?

The condos for sale at Macondo run from single-story 1-bedroom layouts through 2- and 3-bedroom units and penthouses, the larger of which add private rooftop terraces with their own pools. Interiors are open-plan with window walls, tile floors, and Porcelanosa finishes, sold unfurnished but with some appliances, and most balconies look over the pool or the golf greenery. Amenities span a central pool and a kids’ pool, golf practice range, padel and pickleball courts, gym, business center, tree-lined trails, grill area, multipurpose room, a guest house, underground parking, golf cart service, and 24/7 security. Playacar residents also get beach-club access and golf discounts. Short-term rental is permitted, which suits the steady visitor demand across Playa del Carmen.

What is life like in Playacar Phase II?

Phase II trades beachfront for a gated, golf-cart pace: quiet, secure, green, and family-oriented, with the beach and Fifth Avenue a short ride rather than a walk. It’s calmer and more residential than central Playa del Carmen, which is the point for most buyers here. Foreign buyers purchase through a fideicomiso, the bank trust used across Mexico’s restricted coastal zone.
