Playa Chelem

Charming. Beautiful. Paradise. All words to describe the growing beach community of Chelem. While many people have now heard of the port town of Progreso, where both cruise and cargo ships ply the seas regularly, not many people have yet become familiar with this little village just down the road. With its white sandy beaches and terrific seafood restaurants the only question for many visitors to the area is “why don’t I live here?”. In the last few years, many of the small beach houses, originally intended to be inhabited only a few months of the year by residents of nearby Merida, have been bought by both locals and foreigners. Many of these houses are in the process of renovating or rebuilding. And as you can see, some developers in this area have even grander plans.

Now you can share in the future of Chelem with the opening of the new Playa Chelem Luxury Condominiums, the first year-round homes on the beach. With the new bridge about to join Progreso with Chelem, now is the time to check out the area. You will discover Chelem is growing up! A new Wal-mart and Sam’s club is being built, the roads are being upgraded and the charm and beauty are both here to stay.

Playa Chelem's developers are determined to bring the best in new luxury homes to this area. With Progreso even closer than before, the movie theatres and boardwalk are just steps away. Try golfing at Club de Golf, a private golf course nearby. Want to fish? Your condo is right on the beach. You can pay a local fisherman to take you fishing. Watch the dolphins from your private terrace as pelicans dive for fish right off the coast. Tour the mangroves, swim in your infinity pool, kayak or canoe and even enjoy watching large communities of pink flamingos and turtles that are just a boat ride away.

Are you a sailor or yachtsman? There is a private marina for your yacht in Yucalpeten Harbor, just up the road.

The chance to own property and spend time in Chelem is the chance to slow down and enjoy a different pace. Learn to appreciate the sunsets and a peaceful new way of life. All of this is just 25 minutes from the colonial city of Merida, capital of Yucatan State, and less than an hour from the Merida International Airport (MID).
