Sunrise at the Yucatán Hamptons. Chicxulub Puerto is the gulf-coast town locals call the Yucatán Hamptons for the secondary-residence quality — the small fishing boats heading out at dawn, the residents on the malecón before the heat, the amber sand still cool under the sun.
The Yucatán gulf coast — the corridor known locally as the Emerald Coast — stretches roughly ninety-eight kilometers along the northern shore of the peninsula, from Chelem in the west through Progreso, Chicxulub Puerto, Telchac Puerto, and San Crisanto. The coastline is distinguished by crystalline emerald waters, powdery amber sand, and the secondary-residence rhythm that has shaped the corridor's character for generations — earning Chicxulub Puerto the local nickname of the 'Yucatán Hamptons.' The corridor pairs the gulf-coast beaches with proximity to Mérida (twenty-five to seventy-five minutes inland depending on the village) and a chain of fishing villages, malecones, and small harbors that anchor the social rhythm. The corridor reads as the part of Yucatán the residents who came for the gulf-coast secondary-residence side of the peninsula chose deliberately.
Inside Madeira, the architecture takes the gulf coast seriously. Each residence spans 2,454 square feet — two or three bedrooms, balcony space drawn for actual outdoor living, full-height openings that pull the gulf light deep into the interior, kitchens scaled for someone who actually cooks rather than reheats. The materials are honest — wood, stone, glass — and the building's amenity floor supports the kind of community that takes Chicxulub Puerto seriously.
Delivery in 2026. Pricing at $12,490,000 MXN. Madeira sits in Chicxulub Puerto at the rare scale of a real family-format residence on the corridor — a footprint that the denser projects simply cannot replicate. For the buyer who came to Yucatán for the 'Yucatán Hamptons' rhythm of Chicxulub Puerto at the family scale, this is one of the most considered new addresses in the neighborhood.
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.
Madeira Chicxulub fills a real gap in the Yucatán Coast market—it's a private beachfront community with actual resort-style amenities, not just a condo building. For retirees seeking hassle-free coastal living, that matters. At Mexico Luxury Properties, we see this 2,454 sq ft unit appealing strongly to buyers who want Playa del Carmen's lifestyle without Playa's traffic and crowds, or those splitting time between properties. The price point sits comfortably between entry-level beach condos and luxury estates, making it realistic for mid-range investors. One candid note: Chicxulub Puerto itself remains quieter and less developed than nearby towns. That's actually an advantage if you value peace, but it means fewer restaurants and services within walking distance. It's not a turnkey rental play—it's built for owners who'll use it themselves. If you're serious about Yucatán coastal living but want community amenities and measured appreciation, this deserves a close look.
