A significant trend is reshaping the Caribbean’s hospitality landscape—the rise of branded residential resorts. Post-pandemic demand for luxury real estate and high-end residential experiences in the region has skyrocketed, with major hotel brands seizing the opportunity to cater to this growing market.
One of the leading players in this trend is Marriott International. With its expanding portfolio of residential resorts, particularly under the St. Regis and Ritz-Carlton brands, Marriott is at the forefront of this booming sector. The latest addition to its lineup is the highly anticipated Ritz-Carlton Cancun, Punta Nizuc, set to debut in 2027. This development, a collaboration with FibraHotel and Beyond Ventures, will feature a 131-key luxury hotel alongside 126 branded residences.

Brian King, President of Caribbean & Latin America for Marriott International, highlighted the increasing demand for these types of luxury experiences. “As the demand for world-class branded residences and luxury travel grows, we are excited to bring The Ritz-Carlton back to Cancun,” King said. The resort’s location in Cancun, one of Latin America’s top tourist destinations, underscores the region’s popularity for both luxury travelers and property investors.
The Ritz-Carlton’s return to Cancun is part of a broader trend where branded residential resorts are becoming the preferred choice for affluent buyers and vacationers. These resorts offer a seamless blend of luxury hotel amenities with the privacy and exclusivity of residential living, providing owners and guests with an unparalleled lifestyle experience.

While the Ritz-Carlton Cancun will include lavish features such as a destination spa, six dining establishments, and a pool complex, it will also cater to long-term residents with a host of exclusive residential services. This is reflective of a growing consumer desire for properties that offer both exceptional living environments and access to luxury hotel services.
Branded residential resorts are no longer a niche market. The concept is gaining traction across the Caribbean, driven by the region’s natural beauty, year-round appeal, and investment potential. With projects like the Ritz-Carlton Cancun and the Ritz-Carlton Turks and Caicos, which opened in 2021, the Caribbean is becoming a hotspot for those seeking both vacation and investment opportunities in world-class residences.
