Dorada
Sundays double the town. Merida families drive the twenty-five minutes to Chicxulub, fill the seafood tables around the pier, and drain back inland by dusk, leaving the eastern beach to the residents. Dorada sits on that eastern stretch, sixty meters from the sand, where the weekend tide arrives and recedes without ever quite reaching the door.
The stretch east of Chicxulub Puerto toward Uaymitun is where the town's walkable grid loosens into quieter blocks and a wider beach. Dorada anchors it with retail at street level, groceries and services under the residences, which on this coast is rarer than beachfront itself. Progreso's Malecon and the flamingo lookout at Uaymitun each sit ten minutes away in opposite directions.
Inside Dorada, eighty-eight residences rise in two connected ten-level towers. The entry two-bedroom spans 700 square feet, tuned for a couple or a small family rather than a crowd. Evenings move upward: the sky bar takes the sunset, the fire pit and hammock grove take the hours after, and the kids club absorbs the Sunday cousins.
Pre-sale with delivery in December 2026; pricing starts at $3,320,000 MXN. For the buyer who wants a first foothold on the gulf coast with the daily errands solved downstairs, Dorada is the most practical door onto this beach.

Unit Collection
Chicxulub Puerto, Yucatán Coast
Chicxulub Puerto is a small coastal village on the Yucatán's Gulf coast, 5 km east of Progreso. Historically a fishing village (and famous for the asteroid impact crater offshore), it has emerged in recent years as a residential alternative to Progreso — quieter beach, smaller-scale builds, and a real Yucatecan town character. Real estate here is typically beach-front condos or single-family casas at 20-30% discounts to Progreso central inventory.

Our Take
We find Dorada interesting for a specific type of buyer: someone looking at Chicxulub Puerto at accessible tower-format entry price ($3.3M MXN for the 2-bedroom Dorada 1 is genuinely direct pricing on the corridor). Six unit configurations across the two connected towers gives you a wide range of format options — from the entry 65 m² 2-bedroom to the 137 m² 4-bedroom top-tier. The commercial ground floor is worth calling out: retail at the base of the building means you have walkable services directly below your residence, which is deliberate design and not always the norm on the corridor. The honest consideration: 88 residences on a two-tower site is genuinely high-density for the Yucatán coast — neighbor count is substantially higher than the boutique buildings east of here (Boga, Mangata, Mar de Miel). If your framing is coastal residence at boutique scale, the mid-corridor pockets suit better. If your framing is accessible entry into the walkable Chicxulub Puerto zone with the amenity floor of a mid-scale tower, Dorada is one of the more directly-priced pre-sale options on the corridor.
