The neighbourhood
Tiburón is built right on Cocotal Golf & Country Club, a gated residential community in the heart of the Bávaro hotel zone. Palma Real Shopping Village is directly across the road, El Cortecito beach and Downtown Punta Cana are 5 minutes away, and the international airport is 15 minutes away.
Cocotal is known for its 27-hole course by Pepe Gancedo, laid out among old coconut groves. Residents have access to the clubhouse, sports bar, pools, padel, tennis and football, with 24/7 security. Owners also enjoy the private beach and facilities of the Meliá Caribe Beach hotel, with discounts on all-inclusive plans and the spa.
Rental potential
With only 24 units facing the 11th hole, Tiburón appeals to guests looking for calm: golfers, families and couples who want a real apartment close to the Bávaro beaches. The private jacuzzi on ground-floor units and the rooftop terrace on the penthouses set them apart as rentals.
Short-term rental depends on Cocotal's and the condo's rules, which Horizon31 checks with the developer. Income varies by unit and season, and we prepare a personalized, indicative projection during the call.
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.
For Tiburón, Horizon31 checks with the developer whether the project is certified and how long any benefits have left to run, before any commitment. We also recommend confirming this with an independent local lawyer or tax advisor.
