Cabrera, Dominican Republic: Why Families, Expats, and Investors Are Falling in Love With This North Coast Gem
Why Cabrera?
A new destination for those looking for space, nature, and a different kind of luxury.
When many people think of the Dominican Republic, they picture all-inclusive resorts or well-known tourist towns. Cabrera is something different. Located on the North Coast, this small town and its surrounding hills and coastline are becoming known for their natural beauty, privacy, and slower pace of life.
It’s a place where dramatic cliffs meet the sea, where beaches remain largely untouched, and where people come not for mass tourism, but to live well.
A Place That’s Gaining Global Attention
Cabrera’s rare blend of natural beauty and authenticity has steadily drawn the attention of visionary developers and global brands. Companies such as Discovery Land Company, with its world-renowned private communities, and luxury hospitality brand Aman Resorts have chosen this coastline for their projects. More recently, professional baseball star Alex Rodriguez has joined this wave of investment with an exciting new billion dollar investment in the area. Yet, even as Cabrera gains recognition on the international stage, it remains refreshingly low-key — a place where locals greet you by name, farmers’ markets brim with tropical abundance, and life moves at a pace that invites you to truly savor it.
Now, boutique developers, homeowners, and small businesses are following — creating homes, retreats, and design-forward projects that reflect the area’s appeal.
A Lifestyle Community
This is not a resort town. Many expats have chosen to settle in Cabrera to raise families or work remotely, drawn by the quality of life: beautiful natural surroundings, a friendly and safe community, and a lower cost of living. Life here is grounded in space, nature, and a slower, more intentional rhythm — without being disconnected from the world. Within just 5 to 15 minutes of the Las Cuevas project, residents can access six beautiful beaches, as well as freshwater lagoons, waterfalls, mangroves, and even a shipwreck perfect for snorkelling.
Life Close to the Land and Sea
Outdoor living is central here. The local markets and growing food scene reflect a community interested in quality and sustainability.
Clean air, quiet beaches, and a close connection to nature offer a lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find in more developed areas of the Caribbean.
The founder and developer of Las Cuevas is deeply invested in the future of Cabrera — not only through the creation of this community, but through meaningful contributions to the town itself. Most recently, he led the development and opening of a beautiful new restaurant on Cabrera’s Malecón, transforming the waterfront into a welcoming gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Alongside this project, his team initiated a dedicated clean-up effort, helping to revitalize the area and spark a broader momentum for environmental care in the community. This same spirit of stewardship and vision is woven into every aspect of the Las Cuevas project.
Why Now?
Cabrera remains largely undiscovered — for now. But as more well-designed projects come to the area, and as more people look for alternatives to crowded destinations, that is changing.
Las Cuevas is part of this new chapter. We believe Cabrera offers something rare: an opportunity to live in a place where design, nature, and community come together. A place where you can invest — but more importantly, where you can build a life.
