“I assure your highnesses that these lands are the most fertile, temperate, level and beautiful countries in the world” – Christopher Columbus. The Dominican Republic is one of the most beautiful Caribbean destinations and is also one of the most exciting emerging property markets in the world. Government incentives to attract high quality sustainable tourism continue to successfully revitalise the countries economy and industry and there has never been a better time to buy a property in The Dominican Republic.
The market continues to grow at unprecedented rates resulting in steadily increasing real estate prices and solid rental returns. Guaranteed rental has become a buzzword within the property industry but few schemes could compare with the structure or yields offered by guaranteed rental schemes. Furthermore the government incentives offer 10 years of tax incentives, no tax on rental income, no capital gains tax and no property purchase tax (Normally 4.6%).

The most recent development is widely recognised as the largest dedicated leisure resort development in the world and perhaps the last investment opportunity. It is continually courted by premier international leisure resorts and understandable when 8% guaranteed rental yield (net of management fees) is available for the first 5 years and renewable. The Dominican Republic is approximately 600 miles South East from Florida, United States and approximately 4000 miles from the UK, With flying times of approximately 3 hours and 7 hours respectively and Punta Perla is fifteen minutes from Punta Cana International Airport. For leisure, opportunity and benefits The Dominican Republic is the off plan capital.

2700 acres of sculptured tropical paradise along with 3 signature Golf Courses plus academy. The development Golf Club is the synthesis of spectacular location with grand vision and it is destined to become one of the most prestigious international championship standard Golf retreats in the World.
The Dominican Republic enjoys a year round tropical maritime climate, a latitude of 17’36 – 19’58, places the Dominican Republic at the border of the tropical zone. Sea breezes refresh the insular territory, evening out temperature to average 23’C in the early mornings to 32’C at mid-day. There is little difference between winter and summer temperature with July averaging at 82’F (28’C) and January at 76’F (23’C).
The lowest temperatures occur in the mountain areas near Constanza, where temperatures have dropped to 0’C , and record highs have been registered at the frontier with Haiti , 39’C in the summer. The months of May to November are regarded as the rainy season and most rain falls in the northern and eastern regions. The Dominican Republic is similar in size to Scotland or the U.S. state of Maryland and is the second largest island in the Greater Antilles.

Named by its Spanish settlers “Hispaniola”, the island became the hub for the expansion of the Spanish empire into the new world. The city of Santo Domingo (originally named “La Isabela”) was founded in 1496, and soon became the seat of the first cathedral, hospital and university of America.
A year after gaining independence from Spain in 1821, the eastern part of the island was occupied by Haiti. This occupation ended on February 27, 1844 with the proclamation of the National Independence. Since 1966, ten democratic elections have been held, alternating the power between the three main political parties.

The Dominican Republic’s Latin style is a sharp contrast to the character of the many nearby islands, especially the British and French-influenced ones, and is reflected in both the local music and cuisine.

Traveling down to the islands and finding a great Caribbean rental has become a very popular trend. People visiting for business, pleasure or who have made the islands a second home love the advantages of renting a property in the tropical paradise. Caribbean rental properties line the beaches and tropical gardens of the Caribbean and people are eager to take full advantage of them.

One of the most important steps in finding a Caribbean rental is to know ones budget. Individuals need to be aware of what he or she can afford. Most of the Caribbean islands have a wide price range of available properties but some of them offer mostly upscale and high grade lodging which can be expensive. Group rates or other specials are sometimes available depending on the season and availability. Property owners can set the prices at their discretion and oftentimes they run various specials. Also one should be aware that some of the Caribbean rentals require a minimum stay so plan carefully and make sure to inquire about any provisions before signing the agreement.

Rental rates can vary based on the type of property, the size and sometimes the season. The winter months are considered the high season for Caribbean travel. This makes since due to the fact that while it may be snowy and rainy in December in the US its sunny and warm in the Caribbean and events are constantly going on. When looking for rentals inquire about any rent changes that may apply for a particular Caribbean rental. Amenities such as being located on the beach or near a big shopping district may lead to a slight increase in rental rates however it is usually up to the owner. Also be prepared to pay rental taxes on properties such as villas when applicable and these can range from seven to eight percent. Most of the Caribbean is very modern but one should still be mindful of the features that are offered for the Caribbean rental. While air conditioning and cable television is a must have for some people, others prefer things such as mountain views and hiking trails.

Beachfront Caribbean rentals are generally more expensive. Villas are a tourism favorite so if considering this type of property one should reserve as early as possible to guarantee a spot. These two types of rentals are generally fancier and offer more amenities that may appeal to those looking for all the comforts of home. Some of them even come with a full staff onsite for patrons to utilize. Caribbean rentals such as apartments or small cottages are often just as nice but may not have as many features and are generally not staffed. Another popular rental option for those who really want an experience is known as private island rental and its name says it all. This is the most expensive rental item but also the most luxurious. Along with their own personal island to enjoy, he or she will also enjoy their own private staff that is at their disposal.

Immersing in Caribbean culture is one experience every adventurous traveler should never miss. The best way to enjoy this culture is by actually living in one of its authentic luxury rental villas available in many communities. These villas, are usually upscale home that the owner is willing to rent out while they are not using them. The rental villa generally will be an up scale property located near various local attractions. Renting a villa provides a traveler to have a greater degree of space and privacy than they would find at a hotel as well as the ability to have friends and family staying under the same roof with them. This a great option for families!
