Dominican Republic Strengthens Its Appeal for Real Estate Investment

COMPARTE

The Dominican real estate market continues to solidify its position as one of the most profitable and secure in the Caribbean. In the first seven months of 2025, the country welcomed over 7.1 million visitors, driving demand for vacation homes, short-term rental properties, and luxury developments in areas such as Punta Cana, Cap Cana, Miches, and Puerto Plata.

Fiscal incentives remain a major attraction: under CONFOTUR and the Foreign Investment Law 16-95, tourism projects can benefit from tax exemptions of up to 15 years, including exemptions on property transfers and property taxes. Foreign investors with residency through investment also enjoy simplified repatriation of capital and additional tax benefits.

Ongoing tourism growth, together with public investment in infrastructure and sustainability, continues to generate steady property appreciation and estimated annual returns between 6% and 9%, making the Dominican Republic a strong destination for long-term real estate investment.
