Property Overview

Kite House Cabarete presents an opportunity to acquire an established, cash-flow-positive hospitality property in one of the Caribbean’s best-known wind and watersports destinations. Located in the La Curva area of Cabarete, this freehold hotel and apartahotel features 15 individual guest accommodations arranged across approximately 500 square meters of construction.

The property’s accommodation mix includes one-bedroom apartments, studios, and individual rooms, creating flexibility for short-term vacation rentals, extended stays, digital nomads, kiteboarders, surfers, and other active-travel guests. Each of the 15 guest units is supported by its own bathroom.

Built in 2018, Kite House Cabarete is already operating as an income-producing business. According to the owner, the property currently generates approximately $50,000 in annual net cash flow, with revenue or profitability growing by approximately 17% annually over the past four years. Financial statements and supporting operating information will be made available to serious buyers.

Flexible Accommodation Model

The combination of apartments, studios, and private rooms allows the property to serve several different guest profiles and price points. An incoming owner may continue the existing apartahotel operation or reposition the property toward a more specialized concept, including:

• Kiteboarding and watersports accommodations
• Surf and adventure lodging
• Extended-stay apartments
• Digital-nomad housing
• Wellness or activity retreats
• Staff accommodations
• Hybrid hotel and monthly-rental operation

The 15-unit configuration provides diversified rental income rather than relying on the performance of a single villa or large vacation residence.

Renewable Energy and Utilities

The property includes solar panels that sells excess electricity back to the local grid, helping reduce operating expenses and improve long-term energy efficiency.

Municipal water serves the property, supported by a large cistern and additional city-water storage. Wastewater is handled through an on-site septic system.

Cabarete: Water Sports Capital of the World

Cabarete has earned an international reputation as the “Water Sports Capital of the World,” attracting travelers who organize their days around the wind, waves, and warm Caribbean water. Kiteboarding, windsurfing, wing foiling, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, and other ocean activities create a year-round adventure lifestyle that few destinations can match. The strongest winds typically arrive from May through July, while conditions suitable for foiling and other watersports can often be found throughout the year.

Surfers can begin the day with a morning session at Playa Encuentro, located approximately five to ten minutes from Kite House by motorcycle. With several breaks serving abilities from beginner through advanced, Encuentro expands the property’s appeal beyond kiteboarders and helps attract a broader community of surfers, athletes, adventure travelers, and active-lifestyle guests.

Nearby Kite Beach is one of Cabarete’s premier kiteboarding destinations, supported by established watersports schools, equipment storage, rentals, and professional instruction. The reef creates both wave-riding opportunities for experienced wing foilers and protected, flatter areas where beginners can build their confidence.

For a buyer, this is more than an exciting location—it is the foundation of the property’s hospitality identity. Kite House Cabarete is positioned to serve guests who travel with purpose, stay for the lifestyle, and return because Cabarete offers another opportunity to get on the water nearly every day.

Ownership and Sale Structure

The property is offered with freehold ownership, subject to confirmation through an independent Dominican Republic title investigation and closing process.

Owner financing may be considered, providing qualified buyers with potential flexibility in structuring the acquisition. Specific down-payment requirements, interest rate, amortization, balloon payment, collateral, and repayment terms will be negotiated directly with the seller.

The owner currently holds several properties in the Dominican Republic and is selling selected assets to release capital for future development projects. Because Kite House Cabarete remains cash-flow positive, the owner is prepared to continue operating the business until a suitable transaction is completed.

Opportunity

Kite House Cabarete offers an incoming owner an established hospitality platform with multiple rental units, existing income, renewable-energy infrastructure, flexible accommodations, and access to one of the Dominican Republic’s strongest watersports tourism markets.

The property may appeal to hospitality investors, owner-operators, kite or surf travel companies, retreat businesses, and buyers seeking an operating Caribbean real estate investment with owner-financing potential.
