Situated on the beautiful north coast between Cabarete and Sosua, designed by award-winning architect Edward Durrell Stone, who was careful to preserve the natural Caribbean beauty of the surroundings, Durrel created a 100-acre tropical paradise with residents from all over the world who value luxury and upscale living.

The Sea Horse Ranch continues to provide first-class amenities for its residents, from an oceanfront restaurant/beach club with a gorgeous backdrop, a fully equipped equestrian centre with jumping arena and miles of riding trails, a five-court tennis club and a beautiful seaside pool with various relaxation areas.
