ATLANTA and MIAMI and SAMANÁ, Dominican Republic, May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — It is truly a rare occasion when the perfect combination of luxury excellence, culturally significant and earth-minded intentions all come together. The development of Alma de Samaná in the Dominican Republic has become that unique opportunity. 

Alma de Samaná is the first Black-owned international luxury resort that will feature top-of-the-line amenities such as signature golf, professional sports training, rehabilitation, and medical campus. The Alma de Samaná team aims to develop over 2,000 acres of prime commercial and residential property featuring over 1,400 luxurious villas and condominiums located on the northern shores of the Dominican Republic, just above Samaná Bay, the development offers breathtaking views of the bay and the Atlantic Ocean. 

The plans are in motion to create something the world has never seen: a purpose-driven community of global citizens who believe in the importance of our collective shared human experience on this planet. Alma de Samaná is designed to empower, inspire and aspire to unite the world and recognize what it is like to be human again- in a place rich in Heritage and untapped beauty where Humanity is the Destination.

We have brought together a group of changemakers who are doing something important- A Movement to Reclaim Destiny! 

Ownership in this development brings several benefits for anyone to enjoy. The Dominican Republic provides a stable economy, tax incentives, and dual citizenship opportunities which make it an appealing destination for investors. Dr. Lynch and her team recognize this potential and are determined to bring the first 18-hole golf course to the Samaná Peninsula.

This development presents a unique opportunity for investors seeking to establish a long-term legacy for their families. The project offers diverse investment options, from owner-investor to residency. With its breathtaking natural beauty, this prime Caribbean destination promises an idyllic setting to create a lasting legacy. Doctor Lynch’s team brings experience, including investing, living abroad expertise, and creating multi-generational wealth. They are committed to sharing their knowledge with prospective investors and making this opportunity accessible.

At the helm of Alma de Samaná Golf Resort and Residences, Doctor Lynch embraces the challenges that come with being the only African American, female-owned golf resort in the Dominican Republic.

We invite you to show up however you can and make a difference. We are creating an authentic community of like-minded people to elevate their thoughts about who they are and what they can achieve. We are bringing together entrepreneurs, athletes, corporations, and other change agents to create a new way of being around community, music, sports, leisure, health, and love for mother nature and fellow humans.
