Located on the western half of the island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic is a country in the Greater Antilles, in the heart of the Caribbean Sea. The island offers sublime landscapes with a tropical forest, a savannah, mountains (Pico Duarte) and paradisiacal beaches as in Punta Cana, Puerto Plata or Samanà peninsula with Playa Rincon. Life on the island is pleasant whether you choose to invest in real estate in the capital Santo Domingo or in the seaside towns of La Romana, Las Terrenas, Cabarete or Sosua.
