The city of Playa del Carmen is a top tourist destination in Mexico. A city that caters to over 305,000 residents and more than 16 million visitors per year, with 98,000 lodging rooms representing more than 80% of the hotel occupancy in the Riviera Maya, PDC has given much to talk about, especially since the pandemic, within the expat community and all around the world. It is located in the state of Q. Roo between the cities of Cancun and Tulum. Just like the Goldilocks analogy, Playa del Carmen is "just right," not too big (Cancun) and not too small (Tulum).
For example, if you are from USA or have lived there, you know how life there can be quite expensive and stressful. The political climate is extremely polarized and divided, prompting courageous risk takers to seek new lives in Mexico with more affordable places to start over with a richer quality of life. PDC life is good, Life is a Beach! Not having as high living costs and being able to work remotely relieves that stress. In addition to that, being able to enjoy a destination with tons of natural beauty and rich human connections make everyone that visits this place, dream of living here long term and at times even permanently.
Imagine waking up and finding yourself just a few steps away from a turquoise, crystal-clear sea with a heavenly hue, and soft, white sandy beaches. You work remotely for a company back at where you call home and know you have stable income due to your remote job. The choice to live in a city like PDC, where rent is affordable, the food is delicious, and networking with people from diverse backgrounds is a daily occurrence. is the easiest choice to make. These are some of the most common reasons why some Americans choose to live in PDC, although, it is important to add that not only Americans choose PDC as their home away from home. Canadians figured out the climate here is ideal year-round and their money too here stretches farther and wider. Argentinians, Italians, Israelis among other nationalities make PDC an even richer, full of opportunities destination for All of Us.
