How to Create the Ideal Villa for your DR Vacations
At Casa Linda, we want our customers’ ideal Dominican Republic villas to become realities! From the initial purchase to the design to the construction process, our team will keep you involved every step of the way. Here are some key steps to making your dream vacation home come to life:
Start with the Right Floor Plan
The first and most important choice: the floor plan! At Casa Linda, we have 10 villa floor plans available, ranging from a base price of USD $219,800 to USD $429,000 (excluding customizations and add-ons). Whether you’re a single person, a retiree, a couple, or a large family, we have a floor plan that can accommodate your needs!
Each Casa Linda villa is constructed to meet North American building standards while catering to our Caribbean climate. Our homes are engineered to hold up against seismic activity and are properly insulated to maintain indoor comfort year-round.
Our villas are designed to combine modern style with practicality for everyday life. Some key features across our villas include:
- Open-concept living area and kitchen
- Floor-to-ceiling windows
- Seamless indoor to outdoor living features like large double doors and a covered terrace
Add Customizations
Once you select your floor plan, you don’t have to stick to the default design; our team at Casa Linda will work with you to implement any customizations you request.
Whether you want an extra bedroom, a higher ceiling, a rooftop terrace, a living plant wall, an indoor jacuzzi—the works—our design team can make it happen.
We can also provide customizations for retirees who require age-in-place features to move around their villa more easily. Some customizations we can provide include widened doorways, handrails, and shower rails.
Some other customizations our homeowners have requested for their villa and their outdoor living space include:
- Swim up bar
- Living plant wall
- Fountain or pond
- Home construction on a larger lot
- Additional square meters
- Outdoor palapa
- Extended outdoor kitchen
- Larger windows and doors
- And so much more!
When Construction Ends, Decorating Begins!
Once your villa is ready for you to move in, that’s where the fun really starts! There are so many ways to personalize your villa, not just through custom floor plans but also through the decorating process. During the villa’s construction, take some time to think about the kind of atmosphere you want your home to convey.
Do you want to embrace a Caribbean colour palette? Or maybe the understated minimalist look is more your style. Whatever your aesthetic taste, having a basic idea of the look you want for your villa will give you time to source furniture, wallpaper, wall art, decor, and other items before move-in day!
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Embrace DR styles with paintings, photography, sculptures, and other artwork from local artists
- Capitalize on natural colours and textures with natural wood furniture, clay pots and dishes, and plenty of indoor tropical plants
- Keep things light and breezy with neutral-coloured linens and cottons for curtains, upholstery, and tapestries
