Samana For Tourism, Residential and Investments

Considered by many Dominicans, visitors and investors  to be the prettiest part of the Dominican Republic (and in my opinion from the Caribbean), the Samaná Peninsula is a naturalist’s delight!

Unspoiled white-sandy beaches, mountains, everything covered with coconuts, clear mountain streams winding through lush, tropical rain forests and coral reefs. Samana is famous for its internationally known whale-watching where whales are coming from all around the world to the Samana Bay, to play around.

Samana is one of the few locations in the Dominican Republic where investors can find large beachfront properties. Investments in Samana can be found in larger beachfront properties and ocean view properties. We even have several lots for sale with all permits done for a hotel or villa project, totally done.

Described by Christopher Columbus as “the fairest land on the face of the earth,” the Samana Peninsula is considered by Dominicans and visitors alike as the prettiest part of the island of Hispaniola. It is the jewel in the crown of Republica Dominicana. And much of the Caribbean now well-developed, the peninsula’s pristine beaches and sparsely-populated, mountainous terrain resplendent with an abundance of tropical vegetation are not only a welcome change, but are all that remain of the true magic of the tropical Caribbean.

Samana is the real Caribbean. The Caribbean that awakens memories of a bygone era when each tropical shore, each bend in an old dirt road brought new adventure and a wondrous sense of anticipation exploring a developing region that had seemingly shielded itself from the stress and pressures of modern day life. Samana today is still that; a return to a simpler place and time where the magic of discovery still awaits our visitors.In combination with the modern infrastructure which is in full progress the perfect destination.

Samana is a destination for nature lovers and adventurers. green mountains, long stretched beaches, quietness,  small towns in between and turquoise waters. Samana is also a romantic destination, and several of its small hotels are perfect for honeymooners. Samana is also a good choice for experienced scuba divers. And the place to stay if whale-watching is high on your agenda. It is the place to sit on a porch or in the shade of a palm tree, sipping something cool and discover the rare feeling of being happy just being alive. Samana is paradise as close as can get…

The variety of natural attractions make it the preferred choice of those seeking an active vacation. Horseback riding, hiking, kiting, motorbike riding, swimming, snorkeling, diving, sailing — all the activities that come with beautiful nature.

Samana is truly for explorers. Samana has a distinct European flavor – The French were first (Las Terrenas), but now many Italians and Spaniards have opened up businesses to cater to tourists in the area.

Samana is a residential area as well. And do not compare it with Punta Cana. Punta Cana is 100% tourism. Samana is for residents as well. In Samana are living around 10.000 foreigners all year around.

Samana is a multi-area tourism destination in itself. The hotels are mostly located in Samana City, Las Galeras, Las Terrenas (Playa Coson, Playa Bonita, Playa Punta Popi or Playa Las Ballenas), El Portillo.

There is a small airport in El Portillo with  flights to Santo Domingo and Punta Cana.  There is an international airport in El Catey, about half an hour from the Sanchez crossing to Las Terrenas with connections to Canada and Europe.

Samana city. Samana city claims an unusual history and, as a result, an unusual character. It was settled by two shiploads of freed American slaves around 1824 and, to this day, many residents speak English as a first language. The US cultural influence is also apparent in many of the last names of the settlers of this area. Urban renewal is improving the overall look of Samana city.
