When I first landed in Cabarete more than 25 years ago, I had no idea this little beach town would completely change the course of my life.
I came as a young windsurfing instructor, chasing wind, waves, and a little adventure. What I found was so much more — a vibrant community, a powerful connection to the ocean, and a lifestyle that felt aligned with who I truly am.
Cabarete had this raw, magnetic energy. Back then, it was still a hidden gem — a place where the days were ruled by the wind forecast and the evenings were spent barefoot with friends, sharing stories and salt-sprayed laughter. I trained here, competed here, and eventually became a world champion in kiteboarding, all thanks to this incredible playground that shaped me.
Over time, Cabarete became more than just a place I loved — it became my home. I built a life here, co-founded Vela Cabarete, opened Voyvoy Beach Bar, and now help others find their own slice of paradise as a real estate expert.
What I love most is that the spirit of Cabarete hasn’t changed — it’s still a town for dreamers, doers, and ocean lovers. Whether you're here to surf, to reset, to invest, or to build a new life, there’s something here for you too.
And that’s why I stayed.
