Cap Cana Real Estate
30,000-acre master-planned luxury destination in Punta Cana — Punta Espada Golf by Jack Nicklaus, a 150+ slip deep-water marina, St. Regis, Eden Roc, and 39 exclusive residential communities.
The Caribbean's Most Ambitious Luxury City
Cap Cana is the Dominican Republic's most ambitious luxury development — a 30,000-acre master-planned community that has transformed a stretch of Punta Cana coastline into the Caribbean's most dynamic investment destination.
The centerpiece is Punta Espada Golf Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and consistently ranked among the top 5 courses in Latin America and the Caribbean. Eight holes play directly alongside the Caribbean Sea, offering a visual drama that rivals Pebble Beach.
Cap Cana's marina, over 150 slips accommodating yachts up to 250 feet, anchors a thriving waterfront district of hotels, restaurants, and boutiques. International brand hotels — St. Regis Cap Cana, Hyatt Ziva & Zilara, Eden Roc Cap Cana, and more — cement Cap Cana's global luxury credentials.
Cap Cana is widely regarded as one of the fastest-growing luxury investment corridors in the Dominican Republic.
Thirty thousand acres of guarded Caribbean master plan.
39 Communities, One Master Plan
Cap Cana's 30,000 acres are organized around four anchor districts — each built around a different piece of the resort's infrastructure.
Residences steps from the marina's boardwalk, restaurants, and boutiques — led by developments like Porto Navio.
Homesites and villas along the Jack Nicklaus-designed course, with Caribbean views from the ocean-facing holes.
Beach-club communities such as Bonita Beach Residences, built around the resort's signature white-sand beach.
Lake-view and interior parcels — including ABYA Residences — offering lower entry points within the gated perimeter.
What Makes Cap Cana Exceptional
Jack Nicklaus Signature design — 18 holes, par 72, 7,396 yards. Eight oceanfront holes along the Caribbean Sea. Consistently ranked top 5 in Latin America.
Over 150 slips accommodating yachts up to 250 feet. Full marine services, fuel dock, and a growing waterfront commercial district.
St. Regis Cap Cana, Hyatt Ziva & Zilara, Eden Roc, Scape Park, and multiple additional resort properties forming a critical mass of international luxury hospitality.
One of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean — a pristine crescent of white sand directly accessible from Cap Cana's residential communities.
Cap Cana stages the Dominican Republic Open — Copa Cap Cana, an ATP Challenger 175 (the tour's top tier) at Racquet Village; the BM Cargo Invitational at Punta Espada, the country's largest golf tournament; and Ironman 70.3 Cap Cana, hosted three times.
Cap Cana is a fully gated community with 24-hour security checkpoints, private roads, and a dedicated police force — a significant draw for international buyers.

Cap Cana's Signature Spaces
Six destinations within Cap Cana that define daily life here — explore what each one offers.
Cap Cana Marina
A deep-water marina with more than 150 slips accommodating yachts up to 250 feet, Cap Cana's marina is one of the most complete yachting destinations in the eastern Caribbean. The surrounding waterfront district — sometimes called Marina Village — is walkable, lined with restaurants, boutiques, and bars overlooking the docked yachts.
Full-service marine operations include fuel, provisioning, and maintenance, making Cap Cana a genuine stop for international charter yachts, not just a residential amenity. The marina also anchors Cap Cana's sport fishing scene, with regular tournaments drawing boats from across the region.
Punta Espada Golf Club
A Jack Nicklaus Signature design running 18 holes at par 72 over 7,396 yards, with eight holes played directly along the Caribbean Sea. It is consistently ranked among the very best courses in Latin America and the Caribbean, and it is the course most buyers come to Cap Cana having already heard about.
The routing uses the coral shelf and inland lagoons rather than fighting them, so the ocean is in play as both hazard and backdrop. Several of Cap Cana's residential enclaves sit directly on its fairways.
Racquet Village & the Sporting Calendar
Cap Cana hosts the Dominican Republic Open — Copa Cap Cana, an ATP Challenger 175 played on hard courts at Racquet Village. The 175 designation is the highest tier of the ATP Challenger Tour, and the field reflects it: the 2026 edition carried $300,000 in prize money and drew multiple top-100 players, including former World No. 6 Hubert Hurkacz.
On the golf side, Punta Espada hosts the annual BM Cargo Invitational Golf Tournament, a three-day charity event Dominican press describes as the largest golf tournament in the country. The 2025 edition — its twelfth, played 25–27 September — brought together more than 360 amateur golfers, with the surrounding programme staged at Los Establos and proceeds directed to selected Dominican foundations.
The destination has also staged Ironman 70.3 Cap Cana three times, the most recent edition bringing more than 1,000 athletes from 60 nations to the resort's roads and coastline. For owners, this is the practical upside of a master-planned destination: international sport arrives here rather than requiring travel to reach it.
Juanillo Beach
Widely considered one of the most photographed beaches in the Dominican Republic, Juanillo Beach's calm, turquoise water and powder-white sand front several of Cap Cana's residential communities directly. Beach clubs and hotel beachfronts along its length offer loungers, water sports, and dining service.
Unlike some of Punta Cana's busier public beaches, Juanillo's access is largely limited to Cap Cana residents, hotel guests, and beach club members — a meaningfully quieter, more exclusive stretch of coastline.
Los Establos at Cap Cana
Cap Cana's equestrian centre gives the community something almost no other Caribbean resort destination offers at this scale — stabling, riding instruction, and bridle trails threaded through the property's interior.
For families relocating full-time it is a genuine differentiator: a serious, year-round activity for children and adults that sits entirely inside the gates.
El Lago Azul at Cap Cana
An inland lagoon of striking blue water set into the limestone within Cap Cana — a quiet, swimmable counterpoint to the beach and one of the amenities residents tend to use most once the novelty of the coastline settles.
Together with the wider network of cenotes and protected interior, it is a reminder that Cap Cana's 30,000 acres were master-planned around the natural landscape rather than over it.
