Premium Beachfront Development Land – Dominican Republic
Punta Arenas is a rare opportunity to acquire large beachfront development land on the north coast of the Dominican Republic near the Samaná Peninsula.
The property spans 118 hectares (~ 1.2M m2) and features approximately 1,680 meters of pristine beachfront, making it one of the few remaining large coastal parcels suitable for resort or residential development in the Caribbean.
Located near Sánchez in the Province of Samaná, the site benefits from access to major infrastructure including Samaná El Catey International Airport, the Santo Domingo–Sánchez Highway, and regional coastal roads.
The property consists of two registered parcels:
- Parcel 217 – approximately 46 hectares
- Parcel 218 – approximately 72 hectares
The coastline features soft sand beach, coconut palm groves, and unobstructed ocean views, providing an exceptional setting for large-scale development.
The Dominican Republic continues to experience strong tourism growth, welcoming over 11 million visitors annually, with national hotel occupancy averaging 75–80% and peak seasons exceeding 85%.
The north coast is attracting increasing luxury hospitality investment, including the Donoma - Autograph Collection by Marriott, reported interest from brands such as St. Regis and Ritz-Carlton, and the recently announced billion-dollar expansion of the Playa Grande resort backed by the Dominican government and Alex Rodríguez.
Offered as premium development land, Punta Arenas provides investors and developers with the flexibility to create a resort, residential community, or mixed-use destination in one of the Caribbean’s most promising tourism markets.
With 118 hectares of coastal land, 1.68 km of beachfront, and proximity to growing tourism infrastructure, Punta Arenas represents a compelling opportunity for large-scale development in the Dominican Republic.
