Why it pays to move now

Every Caribbean coast follows the same curve

First the fishermen, then the travellers, then the large investors, and from that moment on it is they who set the prices.

It has already happened in Punta Cana. In Bayahibe beachfront land has become almost impossible to find, since coastal restrictions, protected areas and building bans stand in the way, so what is left on the market, and what everyone is looking for, is second-row land close to the sea: precisely this.

Bayahibe is halfway along that curve, which is why the window is open now: whoever buys today buys at current values, rather than at the higher ones of the coming months and years.

Direct sale

No agency and no double commission: you deal with the owner, clearly and discreetly.

Two plots, one single property

In this price bracket the area offers little more than single-villa plots of around 250-550 m², since larger pieces of land do exist but cost a good deal more. Here you get two adjoining parcels totalling 1,113 m², which is the right amount of space for an imposing villa with a garden or for a small apartment building, with no compromises.

You are here at the right time

You enter a growing area before its values catch up with those of Dominicus and the central districts, which are already much higher.

The best of the Caribbean, all around you

Request the full details

We are in the south-east of the Dominican Republic, a little over an hour from Santo Domingo. Bayahibe is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful places in the world: a former fishing village that is still genuine and human in scale, chosen more and more often by Europeans for a second home in the sun.

And there is something here that you will find almost nowhere else, namely how much beauty is packed into a few kilometres. A dream island, a Blue Flag beach, a national park with 400 caves, the reefs of Catalina, golf, diving and sailing: the nine postcards below answer on their own the question “where else is there a place like this?”. Baya Paraiso is born right here.

Saona Island

The Caribbean postcard: palm trees, white sand and the great natural pool of Catuano, inside the national park. You reach it by boat or catamaran from Bayahibe.

Day trip

Playa Dominicus

A Blue Flag beach, over a kilometre long, with facilities, restaurants and dive centres. Bayahibe is regarded as the diving capital of the Dominican Republic.

A few minutes

Cotubanamá Park Cotubanama National Park

Cotubanamá National Park

The largest protected natural area nearby: some 400 caves, underground lagoons, Taíno petroglyphs and trails through the tropical forest.

Adjoining

Catalina Island

Another gem offshore, a few kilometres from the coast, with some of the finest coral seabeds in the country for snorkelling and diving.

By boat

Bayahibe

The village of Bayahibe

A genuine Caribbean atmosphere: brightly painted boats, restaurants by the water, an unhurried pace.
About 20 minutes from La Romana international airport.

A few minutes away

Casa de Campo Altos de Chavon, Casa de Campo

Casa de Campo

One of the most exclusive resorts in the Caribbean, with golf, a marina and the village of Altos de Chávon. It is a private gated community nearby that lends prestige to the whole La Romana and Bayahibe area.

~25 km

Golf

Tropical fairway between palm trees and a lake

La Estancia Golf Club

A quarter of an hour away, an 18-hole championship course designed by P.B. Dye with views over the Chavón river, open every day to outside visitors as well: you book a tee time and play. It is the course in the area you can actually play, since the resort ones are reserved for their guests and residents.

~15 min · 18 holes · open to visitors

Diving

Diving: the Dominican capital

More than 20 official sites among reefs, walls and three wrecks, the St. George, the Atlantic Princess and the Coco, plus the Catalina wall. The long-established PADI centres, such as ScubaFun and Casa Daniel, are in Bayahibe village and go out every day.

Centres ~5 min away · 20+ sites

Sailing

Sailing and catamarans

Catamarans and sailing boats leave the Bayahibe pier every day for Saona and Catalina. At Marina Casa de Campo, a public marina about 25 minutes away, you can charter boats and catamarans with or without a skipper, or keep your own.

Pier ~5 min · Marina ~25 min

On request

What this land could become: Baya Paraiso!

What is for sale is the land.

To show you its potential, though, an Italian architect has already imagined for these two plots a Caribbean-style building on three levels, ground floor, first floor and top floor, with a green inner courtyard and a communal pool, for roughly 1,300 m² of saleable space and 360 m² of open green area with room for that shared pool.

Project renderings: the entrance, the aerial view of the complex and the pool seen from above. An illustrative study, not part of the sale.

Renderings, floor plans and project details are available on request, as a concrete idea of what you could build, with no constraint whatsoever on how you decide to develop the land.

What we are sellingThe land, free and ready. The project is only an example of what could be built on it: you buy the plot and then decide what to put there.

What you could buildA three-level building with an inner courtyard and a communal pool, around 1,300 m² saleable, or your own personal project.
We will show you renderings, floor plans and details on request.

Development and income

One plot, three possibilities

How much can this land give you? The actual returns depend on the project and on how it is run:
on request we will prepare a projection for your own scenario, using local figures.

A private home

Your Caribbean home, designed and sized the way you want it. And while you are away you can put it to work, because here the season never really ends and runs for eleven months a year.

Own use plus rental

A B&B or holiday rental

Four or five units, as a rough guide. The La Romana and Bayahibe area has the highest hotel occupancy in the Dominican Republic, between 88 and 92% in the first half of 2026 and consistently top of the national table, with demand growing faster than supply. Short-let rates and revenues keep rising, which is why the stock of accommodation is steadily expanding to meet that demand.

Tourist income

A small development

The tourist and residential zoning also supports a small development of up to 18 studio and one-bedroom units*. A design concept already exists, prepared by an Italian architect, for a building with a green inner courtyard and a communal pool, and it is available on request as a concrete starting point, to be adapted and taken through approval in line with local rules.
* An indicative number, to be checked against current planning conditions such as ratios, setbacks and parking spaces.

The plan B

Some people keep their plan B at the bank.
Others keep it 600 metres from the sea.

“What if one day I wanted to live somewhere the summer never ends, at a cost more than a third lower than here?”
You have asked yourself that too, at least once. Then life picks up again and the question goes back in the drawer.

This is one of those opportunities that open the drawer again. Two adjoining plots in Bayahibe: 1,113 m² with a clean title deed, 584 metres from the sea, sold directly by the owner. Not a room in a resort run by somebody else’s rules, but land of your own, where you can build the home of your plan B, to rent out or to live in whenever you decide.

This opportunity is for those who have understood that keeping everything, home, savings and future, in a single country is a risk, and who prefer to set foot in another part of the world as well.

Let us talk in private

Buy with peace of mind

Every document is checked before anything is signed

The sale is handled by a law firm in Santo Domingo that takes care of every step.
You do not need to know Dominican law and you do not need to take anyone’s word for it, because every document is checked by professionals before you sign anything. And if you would like your own lawyer to go through it all as well, the papers are at their disposal, with no difficulty.

Title verified at the Registro de Títulos

Checks that deed, maps and cadastral coordinates match

Contracts with signatures certified by a lawyer

Documents available to your own lawyer too, if you wish

Frequently asked questions

The answers, before you ask

Can a foreigner buy land in the Dominican Republic?

Yes. Dominican law grants foreigners the same property rights as citizens. A passport is enough: the sale contract is signed with signatures certified by a lawyer, and ownership passes into your name when the title is registered at the Registro de Títulos.

What costs and taxes does the purchase involve?

Transfer tax is around 3% of the value, to which legal and registration fees are added. Before any commitment we give you the complete and transparent picture of every cost.

Can I buy just one plot?

The land is offered as a single property, but the two plots have separate deeds, so if you are interested in one plot only, write to us and we will look at it case by case.

How do I check that the title is sound?

The checks are not down to you: the law firm handling the sale verifies the deed, the cadastral correspondence and the entries at the Registro de Títulos before anything is signed. We will in any case give you the title deed, the survey plan and the geodetic coordinates, and if you wish your own lawyer can repeat every check.

How is payment made?

Traceably and following Dominican practice: a promise of sale with signatures certified by a lawyer, and the balance on registration of the title, with legal assistance on both sides. No informal deposits.

Can I visit the land?

Yes: we arrange visits on site with a local contact. Wherever you are, we send you up-to-date photos and videos of the land and the area, and we set up a call to answer every question.
