AURA Boulevard is developed by Nivel, a developer with more than 30 years of experience and projects in Spain, Panama, Morocco, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic. Designed as a complete neighborhood, it brings together four-storey buildings set around large tropical gardens, with a shopping plaza, offices, a cinema and a 114-room executive hotel with a convention center at the entrance. Units come in every size: hotel suites (studios) from 37 to 46 m², 1-bedroom condos from 48 to 59 m², 1 bedroom + studio from 60 to 75 m², 2 bedrooms from 70 to 95 m² and top-floor penthouses from 118 to 157 m². On the ground floor, units open straight onto the pool (swim-up). For leisure: two water parks with slides, two lazy rivers, pools and a children's pool, a heated jacuzzi, a pool bar and BBQ, mini golf, beach volleyball, a padel court, an indoor gym, a coworking space, playgrounds and a pet area. The project targets both vacation and long-term rentals with condo-hotel style service. It sits 2 minutes from the Punta Cana Design District, 5 minutes from the international airport and BlueMall, and 8 minutes from Downtown Punta Cana and PuntaCana Village. CONFOTUR certification is in progress.

The neighbourhood
AURA Boulevard sits at the center of Punta Cana's growth, 2 minutes from the Punta Cana Design District and 5 minutes from the international airport and BlueMall. Downtown Punta Cana and PuntaCana Village are 8 minutes away, and Pearl Beach Club about ten.
The project works like a small neighborhood: a shopping plaza at the entrance, offices, a cinema and an executive hotel with a convention center. Inside, the buildings surround two water parks, two lazy rivers, pools with a heated jacuzzi, mini golf, padel, beach volleyball, a gym, a coworking space and areas for kids and pets.
Rental potential
Being close to the airport, with plenty to do on site, the project speaks to two groups: vacationing families drawn by the water parks and swim-up units, and longer stays such as remote workers who use the coworking space and the pet area.
The project plans condo-hotel style service. Income depends on the unit, the floor and your own use, and Horizon31 prepares a personalized, indicative projection during the call and checks the management agreement terms with the developer.
CONFOTUR tax benefits
CONFOTUR (Consejo de Fomento Turístico) administers Law 158-01 on tourism development. Buyers of a unit in a certified project can be exempt from the 3% property transfer tax on the purchase and from the annual property tax (IPI) for up to 15 years. These benefits are time-limited and tied to each project's certification date.
According to the developer, CONFOTUR certification for AURA Boulevard is in progress. Horizon31 checks that it has been granted and for how long before any commitment. We also recommend confirming this with an independent local lawyer or tax advisor.
