Madrid, Spain — January 21, 2026 — During FITUR 2026, NOMAD Hotels & Resorts DR officially announces the launch of its new hospitality brand, introducing a design-forward, lifestyle-driven alternative within the 3-star and mid-scale hotel category in the Dominican Republic.

NOMAD Hotels & Resorts DR is positioned to compete directly with legacy mid-scale brands by offering stylish, chic, and posh amenities at the same price point as traditional 3-star hotels. The brand focuses exclusively on delivering elevated design and lifestyle experiences without increasing nightly rates.

  • Check-in and reception
  • Restaurants and food & beverage concepts
  • Fitness center
  • Co-working spaces
  • Lobby lounge and social areas
  • Dedicated interactive children’s area

Together, the two projects will generate over 500 jobs during the construction phase and approximately 150 direct jobs upon opening, reinforcing NOMAD’s commitment to local economic development.

A signature component of the project is the La Romana Racquet Club, developed by Grupo De Valle, serving as a lifestyle anchor offering sports, wellness, and social programming.

Development Team

The development of NOMAD Punta Cana is led by Duna Development, a respected developer with a strong track record of delivering major projects in the Punta Cana area.

Hotel Collection International (HCI), a subsidiary platform of Grupo De Valle, has partnered with Duna Development on the project. Grupo De Valle and HCI are led by Edward De Valle, who oversees brand vision and strategic development for NOMAD Hotels & Resorts DR.“NOMAD was created to challenge the idea that affordability must come at the expense of design and experience,” said Edward De Valle, Founder and Lead Developer of Grupo De Valle and Hotel Collection International. “We are building hotels that feel aspirational, modern, and community-driven—at a price point the market already understands.”

Duna Development is led by José González and Josué Virgen.

“Partnering with HCI and Grupo De Valle allows us to introduce a hospitality product that delivers real value while generating meaningful economic impact for the region.”

A New Benchmark for Mid-Scale Hospitality

NOMAD Hotels & Resorts DR redefines expectations in the 3-star category by delivering:

• Contemporary architecture and refined interiors
• Lifestyle-focused public spaces
• Amenities typically associated with higher-tier hotels
• Pricing aligned with traditional legacy 3-star and mid-scale brands
