The most visited of all the Carribean islands. Hugely popular with the lucrative U.S tourist market. Dominican Republic also offers fantastic value, with units starting at just £115k. This Fantastic developement will offer a range of unique accommodations, from the first over-water bungalows in the Carribean, to Balinese style beach bungalows and riverside bungalows with private jetty.

When Christopher Columbus, the Dominican Republic's first tourist, stepped ashore over 500 year ago, he marvelled at the spectacular natural beauty of its mountainous peaks, verdant valleys, spectacular waterfalls and breathtaking palm-fringed beaches. With an average temperature of 28 degrees, more than 300 sun-filled days every year and warm, clear, turquoise seas make this the perfect place to just lay back and relax on the beach or enjoy the vast array of watersports available.

In 2004, the Dominican Republic welcomed 3.5 million tourists (29% of the Caribbean total) who spent in excess of US$ 3.4 billion (5% more than in 2003). Tourism accounted for 24% of GDP. High season – December to April
