The neighbourhood
GALIA sits inside Cap Cana, a gated, master-planned resort community on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic, known for its marina, beaches and Punta Espada golf course. The project borders Las Iguanas golf course, close to Juanillo beach, the Eden Roc Beach Club and Marina Cap Cana.
With only 51 duplexes, GALIA favours low density. The shared spaces (pool, gym, coworking, mini-golf, library, bar and games room) extend the on-site social club, for holidays as well as owners who work remotely a few weeks each year.
Rental potential
Rental demand in Cap Cana comes from travellers drawn by golf, beaches and the marina. GALIA adds what guests look for: duplexes with a private jacuzzi, a private pool in some layouts, golf or sea views and coworking for longer stays. Short-term rental depends on the condo rules, which Horizon31 verifies with the developer. Returns vary by unit and season, so we prepare a personalised projection during the call.
CONFOTUR tax benefits
CONFOTUR (Consejo de Fomento Turístico) administers Law 158-01 on tourism development. In a certified project, buyers are exempt from the 3% property transfer tax and from the annual property tax (IPI) for up to 15 years, a period tied to the project's certification date.
GALIA is currently in the CONFOTUR approval process. Horizon31 confirms the file's status and the remaining duration of the benefits with Zoemar Group before you commit. Also review your situation with an independent local lawyer or tax advisor.

GALIA: frequently asked questions
Can I buy a GALIA duplex remotely from Québec?
Yes. Calls and virtual tours with Horizon31, the reservation, the contract review by an independent local lawyer and the signing all happen remotely. If you would rather see the building and views in person, we help you plan a visit to Cap Cana.
What unit types are available?
GALIA has 51 duplexes with 1 or 2 bedrooms in three layouts. Ground-floor A units have a garden and private pool, C units a private rooftop pool. Every home includes a private jacuzzi and a service room or locker.
Does GALIA qualify for CONFOTUR benefits?
The project is in the approval process. Once certified, it would provide the 3% transfer tax exemption and a time-limited IPI exemption. Horizon31 confirms the status with the developer before you commit, so you know exactly where the file stands.
What costs should I plan for besides the price?
Plan for local legal fees, condo fees, insurance, management fees if you rent, and applicable taxes depending on the CONFOTUR status. Horizon31 walks you through each item during the call.
