Angsana Saman? Bay and Legacy Condominiums
By NICK KAYE
Published: March 28, 2008

Angsana, the sister brand of Banyan Tree Hotels & Resorts, was introduced in 2000 and now includes resorts in Australia, India, Thailand, Indonesia and the Maldives. Its first foray into the Caribbean will be this project on the northeast coast of the Dominican Republic in Santa B?rbara de Saman?, the largest city on the burgeoning Saman? Peninsula. Plans call for a hotel with 250 suites and villas, a 284-slip marina and around 470 various full-ownership residences. The majority of these residences will be condominiums, both in low-rise buildings at the marina and in larger buildings inland; 31 villas and town houses will be built on hills at the site’s highest point. The villas and town houses will feature decks with private infinity pools. There will be terraces off all the condos, and those at the marina will include whirlpools. A casino, a spa, restaurants and shops will fill a village at the marina, and gondolas will transport owners and guests from the marina to an island with another spa and a restaurant. There will be multiple communal infinity pools, including one at the beach club, a yacht club, a fitness center, tennis courts and a kids club. A new airport at the base of the peninsula, where flights arrive from San Juan, P.R., and elsewhere, opened in 2006.

Sales begin next month. The first phase is scheduled to open in 2010.
