About Sosúa
Sosúa is an established, value-oriented north-coast market built around a protected horseshoe bay. A long-standing expat and retiree community, solid infrastructure and some of the highest gross rental yields in the country make it a favorite for income-focused buyers — and it sits just minutes from Cabarete and Puerto Plata's POP airport.
Entry prices remain well below the eastern resort zones, which, combined with steady year-round occupancy, is what drives its yield advantage.

Affordable entry relative to Punta Cana and Cap Cana, improving cash-on-cash returns.
