This comes with a mountainous interior with towering waterfalls in addition to over 1200 plant species. It is all surrounded by the spectacular Caribbean coastline where a resident population of sperm whales lives offshore and endangered sea turtles return to nest every year.
As a result, Dominica CBI real estate benefits are indeed very popular with US and European tourists. These tourists are the regular customers of the island’s popular ecotourism resorts.

Freehold vs. Real Estate Trust Ownership
Dominica CBI real estate benefits allow investors to choose between a freehold or real estate trust ownership structure. Conservative investors often choose the more traditional investment option which is freehold ownership, especially when purchasing residential real estate for personal use.
However, due consideration should be given to the fact that CBI real estate investment is primarily for commercial use with an emphasis on tourism development. As a result, this eliminates a few of the most desirable freehold ownership benefits.
Indeed, most of the Dominica CBI real estate properties cannot be used as a personal residence for more than one or two weeks per year. Additionally, they can never be mortgaged or leased directly to the benefit of the owner. Therefore, a CBI property is mostly devoid of freehold ownership benefits.
Nonetheless, wise CBI applicants will consider confidentiality when applying for second citizenship. This is because deeded real estate requires that the name of the new owner be recorded in the Dominica Land Registry. So the applicant’s name is published and can be viewed by the public.
In contrast, ownership in a development with a real estate trust structure such as the Cabrits Kempinski Dominica provides 100% confidentiality. This is because the name of the real estate trust is instead substituted for the owner’s name in the Dominica Land Registry.
Purchase Well Established Dominica CBI Real Estate
Cabrits Kempinski, Dominica was developed by the most successful CBI real estate developer in the Eastern Caribbean. Indeed, CBI ownership units in the resort were 100% sold out prior to opening in 2019. This is because of high demand from CBI investors seeking the security of an established developer.
Fortunately, a limited number of ownership shares in Cabrits Kempinski have now become available for resale. As a result, new investors may purchase an ownership unit from an existing owner who has satisfied the holding period.
This benefits the new investor because they can use the purchase to qualify for Dominica citizenship. But at the same time, the previous owner can recoup their investment while retaining Dominica citizenship in perpetuity. It is indeed a win~win situation for both parties. Not to mention that the new owner can also sell in five years.
