About La Punta

La Punta sits at the southern tip of Zicatela beach, a sandy-lane bohemian enclave with a beginner-friendly left-hand point break, sunset beach bars, and a creative, barefoot vibe that has made it the darling of digital nomads and long-stay surfers. It feels more village than resort, with hostels, cafes, and yoga decks woven among small homes. For investors, La Punta is a top growth and yield story: it shared the 18-22% 2024-2025 surge, now moderating to 8-12%, with gross yields of 8-12% on strong nomad-driven occupancy. Pricing runs slightly below beachfront Zicatela, with inland lots from USD 200,000 and finished homes higher. As coastal Restricted-Zone property, foreign buyers use a fideicomiso. Its cult appeal and limited land support continued appreciation.
