Tropicalia is a one-of-a-kind destination created by Cisneros Real Estate. Comprising beachfront residences and hotels, Tropicalia occupies an unspoiled site of spectacular and diverse natural beauty on the Dominican Republic’s Samaná Bay. Offering world-class architecture and a mix of adventure and leisure activities, Tropicalia brings together travelers from around the world in a setting that is relaxed and simple, yet elegant.
The Cisneros family created Tropicalia as a legacy for future generations. It continues the philanthropic and cultural leadership that is a fundamental part of the Cisneros family’s DNA and the environmentally and socially responsible approach that guides all of their business ventures. Drawing a sophisticated international audience to a place close to the Cisneros family’s heart, Tropicalia reflects their vision as global citizens as well as their Latin American roots.
Tropicalia is a place of breathtaking, untouched natural beauty. Located in the Dominican Republic, a country of genuinely warm, welcoming people and one of the most internationally accessible destinations in the region, Tropicalia’s rich landscape boasts a uniquely diverse ecosystem of beaches, coral reefs, mountains, sea, jungle, lake, rivers, and a working coconut plantation. This magnificent property is a model for environmental conservation as well as sustainable high-end, low-density development.
Tropicalia’s distinct architectural voice emphasizes the use of natural materials that harmonize with the pristine surroundings and convey a sense of authenticity. Rigorous development standards ensure the highest level of design and sustainable building practices. Sensitively integrated into the lush tropical landscape, the buildings offer seamless indoor/outdoor living that takes full advantage of the warm year-round climate. Our first hotel and residences, designed by Isay Weinfeld, will embody these principles and evoke a sense of natural luxury.
Tropicalia is a place where life takes on a leisurely, civilized pace as traditions are nourished and passed down from generation to generation. Residents and guests are encouraged to rekindle the art of conversation with an inspiring mix of global citizens, or enjoy on-site activities such as mountain biking, kayaking, whale-watching, hiking, and golf. Opportunities for high-end adventure abound, from exploring nearby natural wonders with expert guides to sailing, kiteboarding, and whale-watching. Cuisine at Tropicalia is a “moveable feast” of dining locations throughout the property, with a focus on organic, locally grown ingredients.
Tropicalia will encompass world-class hotels and amenities with impeccable service, offering a variety of vacation experiences, whether a romantic escape or an extended family retreat. The first phase of development will include a hotel and branded residential products, and will set a new standard for luxury beach resorts throughout the world. Tropicalia will offer a range of luxury accommodations, including oceanfront residences and estate sites ensuring the highest international standards of quality.
Developed around a unique, sophisticated aesthetic, Tropicalia is a place for generations to gather who are integral and active parts of this one-of-a-kind community. Tropicalia will offer branded beachfront residences designed by Isay Weinfeld, which will benefit from new seamless, state-of-the-art infrastructure. Residents will also enjoy Tropicalia’s first-class amenities, including a full-service beach club, spa, a fitness and wellness center, and an 18-hole Tom Doak golf course. Easy access from the Dominican Republic’s international gateways makes Tropicalia an effortless yet exotic escape.
Sustainability is our business model. Our stakeholder approach to management balances financial, social and environmental priorities, guaranteeing our future for years to come. Four key commitments guide our decisions: We protect, restore and conserve the environment; we select partners and suppliers based on shared values; we incorporate rigorous design and development standards, and environmentally sound construction techniques; and we support community development and economic inclusion through our foundation, Fundación Tropicalia, which carries out education, environment, productivity and socio-cultural advocacy programs in Miches.
In 2010 Tropicalia joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and began aligning business strategy with the universal principles on human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. Our commitment included reporting on progress in these areas through our annual sustainability report which was first issued in 2011. Our report informs stakeholders of our business practices, corporate philosophy and the impact of our foundation’s work in the local community.
