Yes. Foreigners can buy property in the Dominican Republic without being residents and with the same ownership rights as Dominican citizens; Foreign Investment Law 16-95 guarantees that equal treatment.

The process is safe, structured and increasingly common, especially for buyers from the United States, Canada and Europe. The Plusval Punta Cana team supports the entire process, including coordinating with lawyers to verify the property title.

Because it combines sustained tourism growth, constant development and strong demand for property. Its international airport is the busiest in the country and handled more than 11 million passengers in 2025.

Punta Cana has become an active economic ecosystem, not just a tourist destination: there are jobs, services and a resident community that grows every year.

In 2025 the Dominican Republic received around 11.6 million visitors, the highest figure in its history, consolidating its position as the most visited destination in the Caribbean.

This steady flow of visitors directly drives demand for vacation rental properties and real estate investment.

Punta Cana is the main gateway for Dominican tourism. Its airport handled more than 11 million passengers and over 35,000 flights in 2025, with connections to more than 80 airports in 26 countries.

The Punta Cana and Bávaro area has the largest hotel inventory in the Dominican Republic, making it the tourism and economic engine of the East.

It is real, sustained growth. Dominican tourism has broken records year after year, Punta Cana’s airport keeps adding flights and routes, and the area keeps adding permanent infrastructure: shopping centers, schools, healthcare and new roads.

More and more people choose Punta Cana to live year-round, not just for vacations, which gives the market a stable base of demand.

Tourism creates constant demand for accommodation, and that demand supports both prices and rental returns.

When visitor arrivals grow, so do vacation rentals, services and infrastructure, all of which drive long-term property appreciation, especially in well-connected areas close to the beach.

It depends on the project, the area, the type of property and how it is managed. Properties with vacation rental potential in established areas tend to perform best, and buying pre-construction can add appreciation during the build.

Before you invest, Annabel Martínez Moya’s team analyzes each opportunity against your goal: rental income, appreciation or personal use.

Bávaro, Cap Cana, Downtown Punta Cana, Verón, Cabeza de Toro and Uvero Alto are among the most dynamic areas.

• Bávaro concentrates services, retail and urban life.
• Cap Cana leads the luxury segment.
• Downtown Punta Cana and Verón are growing with housing for residents.
• Uvero Alto and Macao attract new beachfront projects.

The best area depends on your investment goal.

It is also a place to live. Punta Cana now has supermarkets, shopping centers, schools, healthcare and services that make year-round living possible.

As Annabel Martínez Moya told Revista Mercado, the area has gone from being known only as a vacation destination to a place where families settle for the long term.

Because there is:

• Solid international demand.
• Economic stability.
• Sustained tourism growth.
• Development opportunities across multiple segments.
