BECCA, a real estate development firm focused on immersive, nature-driven communities, and GRITT, its strategic architecture and planning partner, have announce their newest project: The Don Dom. Set in the heart of Dominicus-Bayahibe, this gated residential enclave spans over 1.3 million square feet and blends the ease of resort-style living with the comfort, privacy, and intentionality of a true home. The Don Dom represents a bold new chapter in accessible, eco-conscious development in one of the Dominican Republic’s most quietly rising destinations.
Drawing inspiration from Crete and echoing the natural rhythms of the Caribbean, The Don Dom is designed to foster calm, connection, and effortless living in a coastal setting rich in natural beauty. This master-planned community places equal emphasis on sustainability, privacy, and authenticity – introducing a model for modern coastal living that honors Dominicus’ origins as a peaceful fishing village.
“With The Don Dom, we’re creating more than a place to live. “We’re building a sanctuary where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, and feel a true sense of belonging,” said Federico Castillo, founder of BECCA. “Every element, from the saltwater lagoon pools to the intimate gathering spaces, is designed to invite calm, community, and an effortless cadence of life rooted in the beauty of Dominicus.”
Phase 1 – La Isla
Now under development, Phase 1 – La Isla – features 294 residences encircling tranquil saltwater pools and a private island designed to evoke a serene Caribbean retreat. Each home is configured to maximize light, airflow, and privacy while preserving surrounding green space, allowing residents seamless access to water, shared areas, and amenities. The layout enhances everyday comfort for families and long-term residents while offering strong appeal to buyers seeking reliable rental potential in a high-demand vacation market.
La Isla is slated for completion in 2027, with residences now available at special early bird pricing. With over 60 units already sold, buyers have a limited-time opportunity to invest in this visionary coastal community at the ground level.

Starting at $311,000.

Amenities are designed to cultivate wellbeing, ease, and connection, including artificial white-sand beaches, expansive saltwater pools, the Island Club & Bar, a Zen Garden with hammock lounges, and a playful kids’ zone with a signature bubble slide. Communal reading rooms, quiet lounges, and co-working nooks offer flexibility for both rest and routine. The property is fully golf cart–friendly and promotes low-impact living with EV charging stations, walkable paths, and bike trails. With 24/7 monitored access, smart security, and inclusive infrastructure, The Don Dom supports carefree living for all.
To simplify the ownership experience, BECCA offers a full-service furnishing package through its in-house design team and will soon launch a turnkey rental management program for short- and long-term stays.
Owners are also welcomed into the BECCA Club — an exclusive loyalty and perks program that adds long-term value to their investment. Members enjoy early access to future releases, discounts on upcoming phases, personalized design consultations, preferred maintenance rates, and invitations to curated events throughout the Caribbean. Additional benefits include access to partner beach clubs, day passes at nearby resorts, and member-only financing options.
BECCA is the first developer in the region to offer 24/7 live construction camera access, giving buyers real-time visibility into the progress of their future home. This transparent approach has become a hallmark of the BECCA experience and builds trust with buyers – many of whom live abroad.
Master Plan
At full buildout, The Don Dom will stretch across 1.3 million square feet, evolving through intentionally phased stages that prioritize ecological stewardship, low-density expansion, and walkability. Future phases will introduce new home formats, elevated amenities, and architecture inspired by the surrounding landscape.
A community-oriented village center will follow, anchored by a culinary promenade, boutique retail, wellness studios, a boutique hotel, and a convention venue — all designed to complement the residential rhythm rather than disrupt it. With environmental permits already secured from the Ministry of Environment and local authorities, The Don Dom remains committed to responsible, regulation-compliant growth at every stage.
Located just 20 minutes from La Romana International Airport and 40 minutes from Punta Cana, The Don Dom offers easy access while preserving a sense of seclusion. Set in Dominicus -a coastal gem known for its crystal-clear waters, eco-conscious spirit, and European influence – the project is a five-minute walk from Playa Dominicus, one of the area’s most beloved beaches. The Don Dom is also minutes from Bayahibe and surrounded by lush national parks and marine reserves.
As a rising destination for low-key luxury, Dominicus draws travelers seeking authenticity and a deeper connection to nature. The area is anchored by premier resorts including Viva Dominicus by Wyndham, Iberostar, Cadaques, and Aqua Esmeralda, with top attractions such as Saona Island, Bayahíbe Port, Altos de Chavón, and Casa de Campo Resort & Villas just a short drive away.
