Make this beautiful Caribbean island your home away from home
or leave winter behind forever. Paradise awaits you in the
tropics.
When Christopher Columbus spotted this serene and peaceful
coral rimmed island in 1492, he declared, “This is the
fairest land under heaven.” He also called it “a
natural wonder.”
Situated on the island of Hispaniola, and sharing a border
with Haiti, the Dominican Republic occupies about two thirds
of the island, with a land mass of about 48,734 square kilometers
and a population of around 9.7 million.
The DR has a dynamic land mass consisting of high mountains,
fertile valleys and plains, an amazing diversity of ecosystems
and some of the largest stretches of undeveloped and pristine
beach coastline than anywhere in the Caribbean.
Although the official language is Spanish, in most tourist
destinations you will find many people who also speak English
and are very helpful. The north coast of the DR, for example,
has a very large expatriate community with many foreigners
living here full-time or coming for the winter months. Locals,
for the most part are friendly, relaxed and happy.
Politically, the DR has one of the most solid democracies
in Latin America, with presidential elections occurring very
four years. It also has one of the lowest crime rates in the
Caribbean and is fast becoming one of the most desirable sun
and fun travel destinations in the world. It is also one of
the least expensive islands in the Caribbean when it comes
to cost of living and real estate.
The country has an excellent infrastructure with good quality
roads, high quality schools, universities, doctors, hospitals,
supermarkets and much more.
Every day direct flights from around the world arrive at the
International airport of Peurto Plata and Westjet runs regular
charters and other scheduled flights to and from this island.
All of the properties featured here are on the north shore
of the island, close to or in destinations like Cabarette,
Sosua, Peurto Plata, or Costambar. However, our reliable and
experienced realtors can help you with real estate anywhere
in the DR.
The north shore of the DR offers a wide range of leisure activities
including swimming with dolphins at ocean world, kart track,
cable car, world class golf course, tennis, diving, surfing,
kite surfing, horseback riding, excellent rates on motorcycle
and car rentals. Organized tours and excursions abound including
hiking, white water rafting, museums and rum factory tours.
In many communities, if you like the action of the night life,
it starts early and continues well into the night. As well,
the DR is just a great place to relax and slow down your life
to a peaceful, tranquil and enjoyable pace.
