Palmas Del Mar

Palmas del Mar is Puerto Rico’s flagship master-planned resort community—a 2,700-acre gated enclave in Humacao with miles of beachfront, two championship golf courses, a state-of-the-art marina, and a full suite of club amenities. For luxury buyers, it offers something rare in the Caribbean: a self-contained coastal town where you can live, work remotely, boat, golf, ride, and send your children to school without leaving the gates.

A 2,700-Acre Gated Community on the Southeast Coast

Located on Puerto Rico’s southeastern shoreline, Palmas del Mar sits about 45–60 minutes from San Juan, with direct highway access to the metro region and the island’s business hubs. The community is master-planned around ocean views and green space, with distinct residential enclaves set along beaches, fairways, mangroves, and hillsides.

Demographic data underscores its upscale, resort-residential profile:

• Approximate population: 2,800 residents

• Median age: 48.6, reflecting a mix of established professionals, retirees, and second-home owners

• Median household income: around $97,652, well above Puerto Rico’s overall median

Lifestyle & Amenities: Golf, Marina, Beach, and Clubs

Palmas del Mar is built for an active, resort-style lifestyle:

• Golf – Two championship courses anchor the Palmas del Mar Golf Club, with oceanfront holes, practice facilities, and member programming that appeal to serious golfers and casual players alike.

• The Yacht Club Marina – A modern, full-service marina handling yachts up to 175 feet and recognized as the only state-of-the-art marina in Puerto Rico fully integrated into a resort community.

• Beach & Beach Club – Multiple beachfront sections, a residents’ beach club, pools, and coastal promenades create a true oceanfront resort environment.

• Tennis, Pickleball & Athletic Club – A racquet club, fitness center, and resort pool complex through the Palmas Athletic Club support year-round training and social play.

• Equestrian Center – Stables, riding arenas, and trails serve both recreational riders and more serious equestrian enthusiasts.

Luxury Real Estate in Palmas del Mar

Palmas del Mar luxury real estate spans a wide range of product types, allowing buyers to calibrate lifestyle and budget while staying inside the same gated community: 

• Oceanfront condos and villas with direct beach access, pools, and hotel-style amenities

• Golf-course estates and custom homes on larger lots with panoramic fairway and mountain views

• Marina townhomes and penthouses with private boat slips or walk-to-slip convenience

• Hillside neighborhoods with sweeping views of Vieques, Culebra, and the Caribbean Sea

Third-party demographic and housing data show high incomes and relatively low poverty rates, signaling a stable, high-end homeowner base. Within that context, Christie’s International Real Estate Puerto Rico’s Palmas del Mar listings commonly range from well-priced resort condos into multi-million-dollar estates with extensive indoor–outdoor living, guest quarters, and resort-level amenities.

Investment Logic: Complete Resort Ecosystem and Long-Term Demand

Several structural factors underpin Palmas del Mar’s appeal for investors and second-home buyers:

• Finite, master-planned land – With more than 2,700 acres already organized into neighborhoods, golf, and natural areas, future growth is guided rather than speculative.

• Full lifestyle ecosystem – Golf, marina, school, clubs, and services inside the gates reduce friction for long-term stays and relocations, supporting both resale values and rental demand.

• Boating and yachting draw – The Yacht Club’s status as the only resort-linked, state-of-the-art marina in Puerto Rico attracts a specific, high-net-worth boating segment.

• Income profile and population growth – Recent years show rising population and household income, suggesting continued interest from affluent residents and investors.

For Act 60 beneficiaries, Palmas del Mar offers an easy transition into island life: strong English usage, established expat and professional networks, and ready-made options for both primary residences and investment properties.
