Real occupancy, nightly rates and RevPAR from live Airbnb calendars across the Riviera Maya, Banderas Bay and Los Cabos — the data layer for buying a Mexican vacation rental on numbers, not brochures.
Mexico is three distinct coasts: the Caribbean Riviera Maya (Tulum, Playa del Carmen), Pacific Banderas Bay (Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita, Punta de Mita) and the Baja resort market of Los Cabos. Largely USD-denominated demand and a well-trodden foreign-ownership route make it one of the most accessible markets for international buyers. For-sale listings ranked by verified yield are coming; the market data is already live below.

Yes. Within the “restricted zone” (within 50 km of the coast) foreigners hold residential property through a bank trust (fideicomiso) or a Mexican corporation — a standard, well-established structure. Outside the restricted zone foreigners can hold title directly. Use a Mexican notary and real-estate lawyer.
The Riviera Maya has the largest tracked supply and the broadest international demand; Los Cabos runs the highest ADRs on a luxury resort profile; Banderas Bay (Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit) blends strong demand with comparatively accessible entry prices. The live data on this page compares them.
Brixfox tracks live Airbnb availability calendars across Mexico and derives occupancy, ADR and RevPAR from observed bookings — the same engine behind our Bali, Portugal, Dubai and Spain markets. It is real market data shown in USD, not survey estimates.
