02 — The property

A continuous coastal position of this scale has become rare.

Unlike subdivided neighbouring parcels, Costa Serena is held as a single contiguous property under one ownership. That means the entire site can be planned as one master concept rather than negotiated across many small owners.

The existing landscape — mature coconut palms, mangroves and freshwater streams — gives a future project character, shade and a clear sense of place. A considered scheme works with that landscape rather than replacing it.

“One of the few remaining contiguous beachfront positions of this size on the northern coast of Samaná.”

Natural setting

A natural setting for a low-density coastal concept.

Costa Serena is not a cleared development lot. It is a large coastal property with existing natural features that should shape the planning from the outset. For the right buyer, the natural setting is part of the value — it allows for privacy, spacing between built areas and a stronger sense of place than a conventional beachfront subdivision.

01 / Shoreline

Direct Atlantic frontage

Approx. 450 m of direct Atlantic frontage define the coastal identity of the property. Any future concept should respect the shoreline, setbacks and environmental requirements.

02 / Vegetation

Vegetation & water

Mature coconut palms, mangrove areas and freshwater streams create a natural framework for the site. These features should be reviewed in detail during technical and environmental due diligence.

03 / Planning

Planning implication

The strongest concept is likely to be low-density: hospitality, wellness, branded residences or private villas with generous spacing and careful landscape integration.

05
05 — Market context

An established location in a growing market.

Costa Serena sits in a region whose tourism infrastructure has matured considerably in recent years — both in local hospitality supply and in international connectivity. The figures below provide an order-of-magnitude context; the buyer's own market analysis should remain part of due diligence.

07 — Indicative master-plan

Three possible directions — drawn as sketches.

The diagrams below show three possible spatial logics for the property. They are intended as starting points for a conversation — not architectural designs, not permitting plans, and no commitment by the ownership side. Key elements such as the mangrove edge, the freshwater stream and the shoreline are preserved across every variant.

Elements preserved in every variant

The western mangrove edge, the central freshwater stream, the existing coconut grove and a defined coastal setback are kept intact across every variant. Built density and arrangement adapt to these elements — not the other way around.
