Tulum’s New International Airport: Gateway to the Riviera Maya’s Brightest Future
With the grand opening of Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport, Tulum officially enters a new era, one defined by accessibility, global attention, and elevated investment potential.
Tulum Is No Longer Remote, It’s Connected
For years, Tulum’s greatest appeal was also its greatest challenge. Its off-the-grid allure meant a journey that required time, patience, and multiple transfers. But with the recent opening of Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport, the world can now reach Tulum directly, efficiently, and more frequently.
Located just 25 minutes from Tulum’s core, this state-of-the-art airport is designed to welcome over 5.5 million passengers annually. With flights already arriving from major U.S. cities, Canada, and central Mexico, the region is now more connected than ever to high-value tourism and international investment.
Rising Demand Meets Strategic Timing
Tulum has long been a favorite among wellness travelers, eco-conscious explorers, and digital entrepreneurs. But accessibility limitations kept it just beyond the reach of many global investors.
Now, with direct flights bringing in a more affluent and international audience, demand for high-quality real estate is poised to rise- sharply. We’re entering a moment where perception, accessibility, and timing align to create a rare investment window.
What This Means for Investors
The economic impact of a new international airport is clear:
More visitors, with longer average stays
Greater demand for short- and mid-term rentals
Increased property values, especially in premium, well-located developments
Global visibility, turning Tulum into more than just a niche retreat—it becomes a mainstream destination with soul
For investors, this creates a powerful opportunity to ride the wave of an upward trend that’s just getting started.
Aflora: Perfectly Positioned to Grow With the Destination
Located in the heart of Tulum’s most dynamic district, Aflora was designed for this moment. A boutique residential community set beside Aldea Zama and the Hotel Zone, Aflora offers the ideal combination of tranquility, design, and strategic location.
Now, with the new airport reducing travel friction, Aflora becomes even more attractive to buyers, renters, and lifestyle seekers alike.
Take Advantage of the Shift
Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport is more than an infrastructure project, it’s a gateway to the next chapter of the Riviera Maya. As Tulum enters a new phase of growth, the most prepared investors will be those who acted early.
