Real estate developer BECCA and strategic architecture and planning partner GRITT have joined forces on a new project, The Don Dom. This gated residential community, scheduled to open in 2027 in the heart of Dominicus-Bayahibe, merges resort-style convenience with private, comfortable living.
Drawing inspiration from Cretan architecture and the natural rhythms of the Caribbean, The Don Dom introduces a contemporary model for coastal living that prioritizes sustainability, privacy and authenticity.

The Don Dom’s initial phase, La Isla, will comprise 294 residences arrayed around saltwater pools on a private island. Designed to evoke a Caribbean retreat, these homes maximize natural light and cross-ventilation while preserving privacy. Residents will enjoy direct access to water features as well as shared communal areas and amenities.
The development offers five distinct unit types to suit a range of lifestyles and needs:
Island Houses
Island Houses are the most private and elevated option on the island. These three-bedroom homes include en-suite bathrooms, a full kitchen, a private terrace, exclusive parking and a golf cart. They provide direct access to beaches and lagoon-style pools, delivering a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

Flex Dual-Key Apartments
Flex Dual-Key Apartments feature an adaptable layout with two independent living spaces inside a single unit. Each space has its own kitchen, bathroom and entrance, allowing the unit to function as a single two-bedroom residence or as two separate one-bedroom units—ideal for owners seeking rental flexibility or multigenerational living.
Two-Bedroom Apartments
Two-Bedroom Apartments deliver open, comfortable living with en-suite bathrooms, an integrated kitchen and living area, and a private terrace. Select ground-floor units offer swim-up access directly from the pool, enhancing the resort-like quality of daily life.
One-Bedroom Apartment
One-Bedroom Apartments balance style and practicality, offering a full bathroom, an open-plan kitchen and living area, in-unit laundry and ample storage—suitable for singles, couples or vacation homeowners.
