Macondo Playacar

First light on the Playacar fairways. The gated community south of downtown wakes up around the eighteen-hole Robert von Hagge golf course — the joggers on the cart paths, the residents on the boulevard, the bird aviary in the trees already at full volume.

Playacar is the gated residential community just south of downtown Playa del Carmen — divided into two phases, both organized around private security, manicured paths through tropical jungle, and a residential character distinct from the urban pulse of Quinta Avenida. Phase 1, smaller and closer to downtown, is one of the few areas with beachfront houses in the Riviera Maya. Phase 2 is the larger section, centered around the eighteen-hole Playacar Golf Club designed by Robert von Hagge, with tennis courts, a bird aviary park, and small shopping. The community pairs proximity to Quinta Avenida (five minutes by car) with the residential calm of a gated neighborhood. Playacar reads as the part of Playa del Carmen the residents who came for the gated-community lifestyle chose deliberately.

Inside Macondo Playacar, the project reads as a residential condominium scaled for the community — drawn around the jungle light. Each residence spans 969 square feet — one or two bedrooms, balcony space drawn for actual outdoor living, full-height openings that pull the canopy into the interior, kitchens drawn for someone who actually cooks rather than reheats. The materials are honest — wood, stone, glass — and the building's density was kept low enough to read as a residence inside the larger gated community.

Eighty residences in total, twenty still available, delivery set for December 2026. Entry pricing begins at $6,986,610 MXN. Macondo Playacar sits in Playacar Fase II at the scale of a real residential condominium inside the gated community — a project sized for the kind of community that supports a real amenity floor and the operational vocabulary of the Playacar lineage. For the buyer who came to Playa del Carmen for the gated-community lifestyle at the one- or two-bedroom scale, this is one of the most considered addresses in the neighborhood.
