Progreso and Yucalpetén
Progreso is Yucatán's expanding port, with cruise tourism growing fast: more than 317,000 cruise visitors in 2024, after a 40% jump in the first half of the year versus 2023 (Administración Portuaria Integral de Yucatán / Yucatán Port Authority, 2024). Yucalpetén, its marina, is the only direct oceanfront property in the Kantik portfolio.
Progreso is Yucatán's natural port, along the fast highway from Mérida, and the closest beach destination to the capital. The expansion of the deep-water port and the steady growth of cruise tourism are driving demand for oceanfront property along the entire coastal strip.
Yucalpetén, the private marina within Progreso, concentrates the area's high-ticket inventory: four residential towers along nearly 500 meters (1,640 ft) of beachfront, with direct beach access and resort-style amenities — a yacht club, beach club, and private dock.
Unlike north Mérida, Progreso lies within the 50 km (31 mi) coastal strip that defines the constitutional restricted zone: a foreign buyer purchases here through a bank trust (fideicomiso), the standard, secure mechanism for this type of property.
