    The hotels and recreational facilities mentioned below are not operated by Samana Nomad City S.A., but by Samana Group REH S.R.L. (which indirectly holds the majority of shares in Samana Nomad City S.A. – see the capital structure of the entire Samana Group below) or entities affiliated with this company. However, the company is publishing this information to demonstrate the prior experience of individuals associated with Samana Nomad City S.A. in the activities that the company aims to pursue.

    Every experience is more intense here

    I’ve seen a good part of the world in my life. I’ve been on all continents. However, it was here, in this remote corner of the Dominican Republic, that I decided to establish a home. I simply realized that I love being here, because everything that surrounds me was designed by nature to pleasure the people. The extraordinary landscapes satiate the eye. The scents pleasantly vibrate in the nostrils, and the hum of the ocean is incomparable to anything else. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. That’s why the Dominican Republic, and especially Samana, attracts so many travelers enamored with ecology in its broadest sense. Everyone wants to experience nature in its pristine form and with everything it has best to offer.

    I decided to build a private city here to share these emotions that have so greatly changed my life. I believe this is the most beautiful mission I could undertake. Visit me in Samana and see for yourself why people are happy to exchange brick rooms for airy tents. You just want to be closer to nature here.
