Incredible turquoise Caribbean waters…miles of deserted, palm tree-fringed coastline…those pristine white-sand beaches…
The beach town of Tulum, on the Riviera Maya, Mexico’s Caribbean coast, really does have it all and it’s no surprise that it’s become one of the most desirable destinations in Mexico…and indeed throughout the Caribbean.
In 2024, Tulum Beach beat out others in the Seychelles, Greece, and the Bahamas to take the accolade for whitest-sand beach in the world.
When I first came to Tulum way back in 2004, this small beach town was barely on the map. The road into town had potholes as big as cars. There was only one ATM and it was regularly out of order. But what Tulum lacked in amenities, it made up for in astonishing natural beauty.
Fast forward to today, and thanks to a major Path of Progress that has been pushing south on the Riviera Maya from Cancún, Tulum has it has entered the mainstream. It’s well-known to all sorts of people, from all walks of life. Couples young and old, retirees, snowbirds, families, remote workers…they are all coming to Tulum.
Tulum is on a trajectory to becoming a true city. Because I’ve been putting boots on the ground here for two decades, my Real Estate Trend Alert group has been ahead of the mind-blowing transformation here. And we’ve had some killer deals…
- In October 2017, I brought RETA members the chance to own in Tao Tulum from $154,500 for a two-bedroom condo. I bought one of those condos and sold it in 2020 for $225,000. In October 2022, premium penthouses that RETA members could buy in Tao Tulum in 2017 for $225,555 were listed at $377,000 to $417,000.
- In October 2021, RETA members could buy luxury two-bed condos in a stunning, best-in-class called Samsara from $198,600. In July 2022 the remaining units went retail. A mezzanine unit that RETA members could buy for $212,300 was listed at $298,200…$85,900 more. In October 2022, two-bed mezzanine condos that RETA members could buy for $232,400 were listing retail at $332,800, a $100,400 uplift.
Right now, RETA members are taking delivery of their brand-new condos in the Samsara community in Tulum…and it looks incredible.
Today I want to introduce you to decade-long member of my Real Estate Trend Alert group, Tim DeVries who bought in one of the RETA members-only deals in a the Samsara community.
Samsara is set to become one of the standout communities in Tulum…a secluded upscale retreat nestled right in front of the national park, close to all the action of Tulum town as well as Tulum’s stunning white-sand beaches.
As an owner RETA members like Tim will have VIP access to one of the best beach clubs in Tulum, Plus, there will be a private shuttle from to the beach club and back.
Next level amenities are unlike anything offered by similar communities in Tulum: A rooftop terrace with infinity pool, yoga/meditation deck, barbecue grills, circular sitting areas…as well as two lagoon-style pools on the ground level with a palapa lounge in between them and a Zen garden with hammock area. There will also be a co-working space, gym, and lobby with concierge.

I visited Samsara in early November to find out that it exceeded all my expectations. It’s looking absolutely fabulous.
Even the RETA members I’ve been talking to are blown away by what we’ve found here. The quality of everything here is top-notch, and I truly believe we’ve found something extraordinary. This is yet another RETA deal that has exceeded all expectations.
