Tulum @ Miches — Playa Nisibón Beachfront

Owning Land at Playa Nisibón

Sabana de Nisibón sits within the wider Miches development corridor on the Dominican Republic's northeast coast, roughly 60–90 minutes from both El Catey International (AZS) and Punta Cana International (PUJ) by paved highway. Unlike the smaller boutique lots elsewhere on this coast, this offering is structured for buyers at different scales — from a single beachfront lot for a private villa to the full 1,000,000 m² lagoon-front parcel for a phased resort masterplan.

The first-line beach lots (23,000, 34,000 and 47,000 m²) front directly onto Playa Nisibón; the second-line mega-parcel runs along 10 km of lagoon frontage behind them, priced lower per square metre to reflect the setback position. Buyers can acquire a single lot or combine parcels for a larger footprint — we structure the purchase agreement around whichever scale fits your plans.

Buying Land in the Dominican Republic — What to Expect

Foreign nationals can buy and hold land in the Dominican Republic with the same property rights as Dominican citizens — there's no restriction on foreign ownership. For multi-lot or mega-parcel purchases, most buyers set up a Dominican SRL for liability and tax planning, though it isn't legally required for a single lot. The standard process runs in four steps:

1. Title and due diligence — each lot's title is verified at the Jurisdicción Inmobiliaria; for the mega-parcel we also confirm subdivision and zoning status before offer.
2. Promise of sale — a contrato de promesa de venta is signed, typically with a 10% deposit held until closing.
3. Notarization and transfer — a Dominican notario público certifies the deed transfer. Transfer tax (3% of registered value) and legal fees (roughly 1–2%) are paid at this stage.
4. Registration — the new title is registered at the Registro de Títulos, usually within 4–8 weeks for a single lot, longer for the full mega-parcel.

We work with the same lawyers and notaries we'd use for our own family's transactions, and can advise on combining lots or phasing a purchase if you're considering the larger lagoon-front parcel.
