The joint venture between Grupo Puntacana and Meliá Hotels International—one of Europe’s leading resort hotel chains—ushers in a new chapter for the country’s North Coast.
Here’s a deeper look at the project, its strategic importance, and what it could mean for real estate—especially for buyers and investors in the Sosúa & Cabarete region.

It is expected to reposition the Dominican Republic as a premier luxury destination, expanding beyond traditional all-inclusive tourism into eco-sustainable living, experiential travel, and high-end real estate investment.
