From Florida to Paradise: An Overview of Moving to the Dominican Republic

From Florida to Paradise: An Overview of Moving to the Dominican Republic

Apr 17, 2024 | Expat Life, News, Relocating to the Dominican Republic

Are you ready to take your first step from living in Florida to moving to the Dominican Republic (DR)? As one of the top destinations for expats worldwide, the DR is a diverse and thriving nation with plenty of opportunities to explore, relax, and enjoy a new tropical lifestyle. At Casa Linda, our villas can make your new life in the Dominican Republic one filled with luxury and new friends.

Next, we will tell you more about life in the Dominican Republic so you can feel prepared when you decide to move. Keep reading to find out more!

Embrace the Dominican Way of Living

While life in Florida is centred around this “go, go, go” mentality, life in the Dominican Republic is much more laid back and relaxed. At first, some expats may find adjusting to this relaxed change of pace a bit difficult. Still, you’ll quickly discover that living in leisure is a far more enjoyable experience than the rat race many Westerners are used to. From appointments and bus schedules to conversations and even dinner parties with friends, we tend to move at a slower pace; this is the life tranquilo!

Explore New Daily Activities!

Embracing a life of tranquillity can take some time as you climatize to your new life. However, at Casa Linda, many of our villa owners grow to enjoy the freedom of living at a less frantic pace. Once you move to the Dominican Republic and settle down, you have the island at your fingertips!

If you want to fill your days soaking up the sun, playing backgammon, taking up a new watersport, or exploring one of the island’s many cigar or rum factories, you have plenty of time and opportunity to do so. With the Dominican Republic’s rich history, culture, and various activities, filling your days with fun is easy!

Don’t Fret About Your Healthcare and Wellbeing

If you have concerns regarding your health or access to treatment once you move to the Dominican Republic, don’t worry! The DR is home to a state-of-the-art healthcare system, including high-end facilities, highly experienced medical experts, and easy access to the treatment you need. In fact, with the affordable cost of living in the Dominican Republic, your medical bills will often be less than they were back home in Florida!

A Note on Residency and Visas

Before moving to the Dominican Republic, it is crucial to be aware that before obtaining permanent residency (PR), visitors are only allowed to stay up to 60 days. While this may be extended up to 120 days, if you plan to live on the island full-time, you’ll need to consider gaining your PR status.

Familiarity and Infrastructure

Finally, many expats living in Casa Linda’s luxury villas are often surprised by how familiar our gated community and the island feel. This is because our communities are filled with folks from all walks of life with similar interests and experiences as you and because the Dominican Republic has much of the same infrastructure as the United States. From high-speed internet, cable, and telephone systems to popular Western brands in stores, the Dominican Republic can feel a lot like living in Florida, except it’s warmer, sunnier, and more affordable all year round!

Ready to Pack Your Bags?

With several luxury villa floorplans to choose from, moving to the Dominican Republic with the help of Casa Linda means starting your next phase of life in a tropical paradise! So what are you waiting for? Contact Casa Linda today to learn more about moving to the DR from Florida.

Island Life Awaits You: Secure Your Slice of Paradise with Casa Linda

Mar 4, 2024 | Dominican Republic Villas, News

Retirement is supposed to be a time of leisure, rest and relaxation. There is nothing like shovelling in the middle of a Canadian winter to remind retirees how much better life could be lounging in the sun with a margarita. Trade in your shovel for a sunhat and relocate to the Dominican Republic to soak up the sunshine in paradise at Casa Linda.

Keep reading to learn more about the perks of relocating to the Dominican Republic.

The Perks of Casa Linda

Casa Linda has been developing, designing and building custom luxury villas for expats and retirees from around the world for over 30 years. When you buy property with Casa Linda, you’re investing in the tranquilo island lifestyle.

The residents of Casa Linda enjoy the perks of living in a gated community with like-minded people, where they can relax poolside in the privacy of their own homes or soak up the sun on one of the DR’s many beaches.

Casa Linda is known for exceptional customer service and communication. We pay attention to the details, big or small, and are committed to ensuring the happiness of our owners.

Custom Building a Casa Linda Villa

Planning at least one year in advance is the best thing you can do for yourself when preparing to relocate to the Dominican Republic. Casa Linda’s buying process is straightforward and enjoyable, especially because this is when all the creative decisions are made. You will work with Casa’s in-house designers to build your dream vacation home, where your only limitations are budget and imagination!

From start to finish, Casa Linda’s building process typically takes around 8-12 months to complete. Some owners work with the team for up to 3 months before finalizing the villa’s design! The fact is that when you choose to build at Casa Linda, you’re choosing executive-level craftsmanship at an affordable price.

What To Pack

Relocating to the Dominican Republic can be full of culture shocks, especially for North Americans in the wintertime! Trade your insulated boots and thick sweaters for flip-flops and t-shirts because you won’t need any winter gear on the island.

In preparation for the island life of leisure, pack breathable and comfortable clothes like bathing suits, t-shirts, sundresses, and shorts. Keep the footwear simple with flip-flops, sandals, and running shoes. We love throwing community parties at Casa Linda, especially around the holidays, so packing a blazer or a nice dress is always a good idea.

Beautiful Weather All Year Round

Relocating to the Dominican Republic is ideal for expats worldwide, thanks to our beautifully consistent weather. The Dominican Republic has over 200 days of sunshine and stays light until at least 7 pm daily.

Casa Linda is on the north coast, near Cabarete, which is the perfect location because the north side of the island is protected from tropical storms like hurricanes or tsunamis. Instead of worrying about tropical disasters, your biggest worry will be running out of sunscreen!

Ready For Paradise?

Outside of leaving family and friends behind, there are virtually no downsides to purchasing a Casa Linda property and relocating to the Dominican Republic. The DR has a fantastic, affordable and efficient medical system; the people are friendly and kind, and Casa Linda is a gated community for additional safety.

Ready to purchase your very own slice of paradise? Get in touch with Casa Linda today. We cannot wait to show you all the Caribbean has to offer!

Jet Setter’s Paradise: Own Property in Casa Linda for Ultimate Travel Convenience

Mar 4, 2024 | Dominican Republic Villas, News, Relocating to the Dominican Republic

“Property in the Dominican Republic”

Have you considered moving abroad for retirement and are looking for a property investment in a tropical destination? Look no further than Casa Linda, a luxury gated community located on the north coast of the Dominican Republic.

Purchasing property in the Dominican Republic is a safe, secure investment that appreciates over time. Whether you are a digital nomad looking for a home base to land at between your travels or a retired couple looking to make the most of your golden years, Casa Linda is the home away from what you have been searching for.

Keep reading to learn why Casa Linda is the best community for purchasing property in the Dominican Republic.

Risk-Free Investment

The Dominican Republic is a long-standing democratic country run by a government that invests in infrastructure, social systems and its citizens. Purchasing property in the DR is a risk-free, secure investment that has good capital appreciation year after year. Land ownership is similar to North America, where you fully own the property and titles.

There is stability in longevity, and Casa Linda has been in business for over 30 years. We have spent the last three decades developing a large community of expats and retirees who absolutely love where they live. Dominicans are well known for their hospitality and friendliness, so when you join the Casa Linda community, be prepared to make friends!

Travel with Convenience

If you are a jet setter who loves travelling the world, Casa Linda is where you want to live because you can come and go as you please, whether it’s a spur-of-the-moment trip or pre-planned. The Dominican Republic has seven international airports with direct flights to Europe, Canada and the US! Casa Linda is only 20-minutes away from the Puerto Plata International Airport.

Enjoy a Life of Luxury

Does the idea of living full-time in an all-inclusive resort appeal to you? Casa Linda offers all the similar amenities, services and fun features of an all-inclusive resort, but you have the additional perk of owning a stand-alone private home.

Every Casa villa comes with private pools, landscaped yards, and exceptional customer service built into the base price of the villa model. There’s something for everyone at Casa Linda, like a family-friendly water park, volleyball courts, a centrally located restaurant, and much more.

Your Villa, Your Way

Every villa in our community is slightly different because Casa Linda custom-builds villas for our clients. There are 15 villa models at varying prices, and you can build your dream vacation home to your exact specifications.

As each villa is customized to the owner, the overall process from start to finish takes around 8-12 months. Casa Linda proudly offers affordably priced villas built with executive-level construction.

Beautiful Weather All Year Long

For North Americans, there is nothing more appealing than perpetual summer all year long, especially because the sun disappears for months in the winter. The Dominican Republic enjoys over 200 days of sunshine! As Casa Linda is on the island’s north coast, the community is sheltered from hurricane season and other tropical storms.

Embrace the Rhythm: Living the Dominican Republic’s Vibrant Lifestyle at Casa Linda

Mar 4, 2024 | Dominican Republic Villas, News, Things To Do in Dominican Republic

When you join the Casa Linda community in the Dominican Republic, you quickly learn that time moves differently on the island! Instead of the hustle and bustle of North American culture, people in the Caribbean are all about leisure, rest and relaxation. If we had to define island life in one word, it would be tranquilo, meaning calm or relaxed in Spanish.

If you are curious about the lifestyle in the Dominican Republic and how to prepare for your move, keep reading.

The Most Common Culture Shock: Friendliness!

Casa Linda’s community is located on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, which has developed a large population of expats over the last 40 years. When you join the Casa Linda community, you can expect a warm welcome, friendly neighbours, many social events and excellent services for anything you need.

When Americans move to the Dominican, the most common culture shock they experience is how friendly our society is— and it’s true! Here in the DR, people will always take the time to say hi, ask how you’re doing, and catch up. We have a very sociable culture; Dominican people will always take the time to chat with you, even if they are busy.

Embrace the Culture

The best advice we can give a new arrival is to embrace the culture despite whatever differences you may experience. Immerse yourself in the culture, like learning a little bit of Spanish and taking a dancing class, or learning how to dance the merengue.

To thrive in the Dominican Republic, you should be open-minded to Latin culture. Most people can speak some English, but it is helpful to know a bit of Spanish to communicate with the people providing you services.

The inside of Casa Linda’s gated community may be quiet and tranquilo, but don’t let that fool you! Dominicans might value a calm and relaxing life, but we can get quite loud! When you venture into Cabarete and surrounding cities, you will notice a lot of music, motorbikes, shouting and laughter. We are fun loving, expressive people who cannot wait to get to know you.

Enjoy the Active Lifestyle

Unlike Canada or the United States, the Dominican Republic is beautiful all year round; the winters are pleasantly warm, and the summers are scorching hot. No matter the time of year, it’s always the right time for a dip in your villa’s private pool.

Whether you are a retiree in the golden years of your life or a family with young children, the Dominican Republic is a beautiful place to live. We attract a lot of snowbirds at Casa Linda, so the winter season is always jam packed with fun activities, like free live music, yoga classes or festive parties.

Visit the Dominican Republic

At the end of the day, your lifestyle in the Dominican Republic is whatever you want it to be. If you have a more active lifestyle, there are endless water sports, local dance lessons, and running locations to enjoy. If laying on the beach, soaking up the sun and drinking tropical beverages is more your speed, you can do that too.

Get a taste of the Dominican lifestyle before you invest in the vacation home of your dreams with Casa Linda. If you are considering moving to the Dominican Republic, get in touch with the Casa Linda team to learn more about renting a villa.
