Real estate development firm BECCA and strategic architecture and planning partner GRITT teamed up for a new project, The Don Dom. This new gated residential complex is set to open in 2027 in the heart of Dominicus-Bayahibe, and aims to blend the ease of resort-style living with comfort and privacy.

With inspiration from Crete and hints of the natural rhythms of the Caribbean, The Don Dom will introduce a model for modern coastal living, putting an emphasis on sustainability, privacy and authenticity.

Currently, the project is under Phase 1 of the overall plan — La Isla. La Isla will feature 294 residences surrounding saltwater pools on a private island, all designed to resemble a Caribbean retreat. These homes provide plenty of natural light, airflow and privacy, while still allowing residents to have access to water, and the communal areas and community amenities.

The Don Dom will feature five types of units:

Island Houses

Island houses are the most exclusive residences on the island and feature three-bedroom homes with plenty of privacy, en-suite bathrooms, a full kitchen, a private terrace, a golf cart, exclusive parking, and direct access to beaches and lagoon-style pools.

Flex Dual-Key Apartments

These apartments feature an innovative layout with two independent living spaces within one unit. Both spaces include a private kitchen, bathroom and entrance, allowing the space to either function as a two-bedroom apartment or as two different one-bedroom units.

Two-Bedroom Apartments

These apartments offer spacious, comfortable living with en-suite bathrooms, an integrated kitchen and living area, and a private terrace. Some of the ground-floor units even have swim-up access from the pool.

One-Bedroom Apartment

With the perfect combination of function and style, one-bedroom apartments include a full bathroom, an open-concept kitchen and living area, in-unit laundry, and plenty of storage space.
