Aquamarine — Branded Residence a Juan Dolio

Aquamarine Juan Dolio — A branded residence concept

Hotel management is entrusted to an international hospitality brand: the project’s official fact sheet explicitly names “Aquamarine INNSiDE by Meliá”, linking the residence to Meliá Hotels International. This branded component sets Aquamarine apart from conventional residential condominiums in the area, positioning it within the beachfront branded-residence segment.

Available information on materials and finishes remains at the level of general developer positioning language rather than detailed technical specification of structures or systems. Prospective buyers should request full technical documentation before committing.

Unit types and pricing

Pre-launch pricing starts at $299,000 for 1-bedroom units (70-81.6 sqm); 2-bedroom units (168.5-169.6 sqm) start at $549,000; 3-bedroom units (169.6 sqm) start at $799,000; the Penthouse (620 sqm) is Price Upon Request. The developer’s fact sheet states that current pricing corresponds to the pre-launch phase and will increase as construction progresses and inventory sells out — a relevant factor when timing a purchase.

Declared amenities include a double-height lobby with lobby bar, private beach club, restaurant and pool bar, fitness center, infinity pools, social terrace, direct beach access, integrated retail space and 203 parking spaces.

CONFOTUR tax incentives

The project falls under CONFOTUR, the Dominican tax incentive regime for tourism development: the fact sheet states approval with two specific exemptions — from the transfer tax and from the property tax (IPI) for up to 15 years. This is a tax benefit tied to the tourism regime, distinct from actual building-permit status, which none of the available sources specify.

This Aquamarine Juan Dolio residence sits beachfront with direct beach access, about 20 minutes from Las Américas International Airport — a figure quantified in the fact sheet, more precise than the generic “nearby” language common in the area’s marketing materials.

Buying this Aquamarine Juan Dolio residence

Aquamarine Juan Dolio sits roughly 45 minutes from Santo Domingo, 45 minutes from Casa de Campo, and one hour thirty minutes from Punta Cana — an intermediate position between the capital and the established tourism hubs of the east coast. Two payment plans are available: a Standard Plan (20% deposit, 40% during construction, 40% on delivery) and an Alternative Plan with a larger share due during construction (20% deposit, 60% during construction, 20% on delivery). None of the available sources state a specific delivery date: the project is, as of now, in its pre-launch phase, and an Aquamarine Juan Dolio purchase aimed at exposure to the Caribbean branded-residence segment should factor in this still-undefined timeline.

Also discover Coralia, the oceanfront residential project in Santo Domingo Este by the same developer — a useful comparison for anyone evaluating the Dominican Republic’s branded-residence segment.
