3 Bedroom Beachfront Penthouse for Sale at Playa Blanca, Half Moon Bay, Akumal, Riviera Maya

Playa Blanca PH2 is a fully furnished and equipped 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom top-floor penthouse in a true beachfront building on Half Moon Bay in North Akumal, between Playa del Carmen and Tulum on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Playa Blanca is a boutique building of just 10 condos inside a gated community, so it feels more like a private beach house than a resort. Mornings start on the large sea-facing terrace as the sun rises out of the Caribbean, and evenings end on the common rooftop, watching the sunset to the west.

The third bedroom is a lock-off that closes off from the main condo, giving guests their own private space. Three mini splits and ceiling fans keep things comfortable year round, the kitchen has a gas range, refrigerator, and microwave, and there is a bathtub.

Is this a practical second home to own from abroad? Manual storm shutters secure the windows before you leave, a storage area holds your beach gear between visits, and a local property manager already looks after the unit, with housekeeping available. Could it earn rental income while you are away? It is being sold turnkey and ready for renters. The lock-off can be rented separately, so you can rent the whole home or just part of it, and the building has no rental restrictions. It is also pet friendly for owners only.

About Half Moon Bay, Akumal

Is Half Moon Bay a good place for a second home? For buyers who want warm water, great snorkeling, and a quiet, walkable beach town instead of a busy resort strip, it is one of the best fits on the Riviera Maya. Half Moon Bay is a warm Caribbean bay with a live inshore tropical reef, so excellent snorkeling starts just off the beach in front of Playa Blanca. Just north of Akumal village, the bay is lined with condos, homes, and small hotels, with four restaurants, a bakery, boutiques, and convenience stores.

Akumal is a small, low-density town of roughly 2,000 full-time residents, where golf carts, bikes, and people on foot outnumber cars. Yal Ku Lagoon is a flat walk of about 750 meters, and Akumal’s main bay, famous for its sea turtles, adds dive centers, restaurants, a pharmacy, a spa, and a produce market. Owners here tend to visit seasonally, rent while they are away, or gradually spend longer stretches in Mexico.
