Huatulco vacation rentals: how to estimate your return
Occupancy, average nightly rate, operating costs and why the studio is the strongest performer.
The math
Annual income = average nightly rate × nights booked. Subtract management, cleaning, platform fees, maintenance and property tax.
Why the studio
A 50 m² studio has the lowest entry ticket while charging a nightly rate close to larger units, which improves return per peso invested. The developer estimates roughly 20% annual ROI; that is an estimate, not a guaranteed return.
Huatulco seasonality
Demand peaks in winter, Easter week and the Mexican summer. A smart rate calendar matters more than raw occupancy.
What Sundara adds
Being steps from Santa Cruz beach, with the restaurant corridor and marina within walking distance, cuts car dependency and lifts conversion on booking platforms.
