Cost of living in Akumal in 2022
- The cost of living in Akumal depends on your budget and lifestyle preferences. Whether you want to live a luxurious life or a little more modestly. Either way, in this beautiful area of the Mexican Caribbean, you can live the way you want to live.
Below, I list the essential expenses you should take into account month to month, such as food, transportation, housing, utilities and recreation.
Utilities: such as electricity, water, gas, garbage, landline phone and internet: the cost for these public and private utilities usually cost around 170 USD per month.
Cell phone service: in Mexico there are different cell phone providers and all of them have very similar prices. On average, you will be spending around 35 USD per month.
Domestic service: throughout the country, it is very common to have domestic help to take care of the cleaning of the house. This will cost you around 100 USD per month for 1 cleaning service per week.
Groceries for 2 people: food in supermarkets and local markets is quite affordable in the Riviera Maya. With 250 or 300 USD per month, you will be able to buy a good pantry for 2 people.
Entertainment: (restaurants, bars, tourist sites) for 2 people: this item depends entirely on your tastes and lifestyle. Take as a reference between 500 and 600 USD per month.
Gasoline: of course, the cost of gasoline will depend entirely on the car you have and how much you use it, but you can take as a reference about 250 USD per month.
Medical insurance: it is very important that you have a private medical insurance to take care of any ailment or medical emergency that may arise. In Mexico, you can have a good private medical insurance, paying around 75 USD per month.
