In short: The Leaf Condos Playacar is an ACCIONA development inside the gated community of Playacar, in Playa del Carmen, with a "Home Resort" concept: four towers, more than 4,000 m² of green areas, 4 pools and units from studios to 3 bedrooms with a lock-off system. For reference, a 1-bedroom, 56.88 m² unit is listed at 215,500 USD.
What is The Leaf Condos Playacar?
The Leaf is a residential project by ACCIONA designed around a "Home Resort" concept that aims to balance luxury, security and sustainability. The idea is that living here feels like staying at a resort, but with the privacy and sense of belonging of a home.
The complex is spread across four towers, with spacious apartments, high-quality finishes and views of the natural surroundings. It is designed both for those seeking a home of their own and for those who want an investment with rental potential in one of the most sought-after areas of Playa del Carmen.
The developer's backing is part of the proposal: ACCIONA is a company with experience in Europe and Latin America and a stated commitment to quality and sustainability.
Where is The Leaf and why does location matter?
The Leaf is in the most exclusive area of Playacar, about 15 minutes from Fifth Avenue and 1.5 km from the beach access. The development borders the Hard Rock 18-hole golf course, which gives it green, peaceful surroundings.
Playacar is one of the most coveted residential communities in the Riviera Maya: a gated subdivision with 24-hour security and a golf course. That combination of controlled access, greenery and proximity to downtown Playa del Carmen is one reason its properties stay in demand.

What amenities does it offer?
The Leaf brings together amenities designed for the whole family, in a setting where, as the project video shows, greenery and quiet set the pace of the day.
- More than 4,000 m² of green areas.
- 4 pools and water areas for children.
- Fully equipped gym and yoga area.
- Terrace bar, café and restaurant within the development.
- Pet-friendly area.
- 24/7 security.
- Pre-wiring for electric car chargers and internet in common areas.
The social areas are meant to foster a sense of community among neighbors, something families and long-term residents especially value.
What types of apartments are there?
Units range from functional studios to 3-bedroom apartments. The larger units include a lock-off system, which lets you split the apartment into two independent spaces.

Why does the lock-off system help vacation rentals?
Because it lets you rent out one section of the apartment while you use the other, or rent both separately. That way you can adapt the unit to different types of guests and make better use of occupancy.
For an owner who spends seasons in Playa del Carmen, this flexibility helps the property earn income even while they live in it. We explain the concept in depth in what a lock-off system is.
If you plan to rent, it also pays to have professional management: at L'Agence we manage more than 30 vacation properties and are Airbnb Superhosts.
Who is The Leaf for?
The Leaf suits several buyer profiles:
- Families looking for security, green areas and amenities for children within a gated community.
- Investors who want a lock-off unit to maximize vacation rental income.
- Second-home buyers who value the golf setting and proximity to the beach and Fifth Avenue.
- Those who prioritize sustainability, with electric car readiness and a developer with that focus.
How can a foreigner buy at The Leaf?
Because Playa del Carmen is in the restricted zone, foreigners buy through a bank trust (fideicomiso), provided for in the Foreign Investment Law and authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It gives you full rights of use, rental, sale and inheritance.
We explain it step by step in our guide to what a fideicomiso is.
