This month I’ll celebrate my 23rd wedding anniversary with Jackie. Every year we try to do something special on the date. One of our more memorable celebrations was the year we went on a whale watching cruise.

Although we only got to see one humpback whale, I can tell you, it was amazing. The size of these creatures is truly awesome and certainly worth the price of admission.

All of this came to mind when I was researching today’s featured property and learned the bay which it overlooks is known worldwide for humpback whale watching. Read on for details.

New Gated Residential Complex

Developed on nearly 50 acres of land on the northeast side of the Dominican Republic, Hacienda Samaná Bay will be a gated residential complex with the services of a luxury hotel.

The five-star quality property will have more than 400 homes. They’ll be a combination of condominiums and condo hotel units, developed in different phases, and all overlooking Samaná Bay, widely considered one of the most beautiful bays in the world.

The property will have a mix of condos and condo hotel units.

Both the condos and condo hotel units will be eligible for participation in the rental program, which offers a way to generate income and offset the expense of owning a luxury vacation home.

Resort Amenities

Hacienda Samaná Bay will offer all the amenities and services you’d expect from a first-class resort including:

• Large lobby and reception
• Restaurant
• Lounge and pool bar
• 3 infinity pools
• Fitness center and spa
• Sports and activities
• Recreational area
• Shopping area
• Social spaces integrated into 5 acres of common areas

The residences and amenities will overlook beautiful Samaná Bay.

Additionally, on Cayo Vigía, a little island located in front of Hacienda Samaná  Bay with easy access by boat or foot bridge, will be an exclusive beach club with food service, music and places to relax, all surrounded by nature.

Walk over a bridge or take a boat ride to the exclusive beach club on Cayo Vigia.

Nearby Attractions

The area around Hacienda Samaná Bay is known for its great natural beauty. Among the most popular attractions are:

• Los Haitises National Park – Panoramas of calcified hills, caves and mangroves, and a natural habitat of sea turtles and numerous bird species

• The Cayo Levantado Beaches – Enchanting sugar-white sand beaches lined with palm trees

• El Limon Waterfall – A height of over 160 ft. and is reached by traveling past beautiful cocoa and mango plantations

• Whale Watching – Boat excursions to see the humpback whales that visit from mid-January to mid-March. They come to the waters of Samaná to mate and hibernate after having crossed the ocean.  (Crossed the ocean! I sometimes lack the energy to just get off the couch.)

Enjoy any of the property’s three infinity pools and poolside bar.

Whale Watching for Landlubbers

At the beginning of this write-up, I mentioned whale watching cruises. If you’d prefer to stay on dry land, there is another option.

Just a few miles from Hacienda Samaná Bay is the Museo de la Ballena, an entire museum dedicated to whales and the role they play in the global ecosystem. It is well worth the visit.
