Time for the Front Yard

The back yard (Lagoon/National Park) is finished...we started on the front yard (beach).

Traditionally the "Beach" was separated form the "Resort" by a wall...this might work for other sports, but not for kite boarding or paddle boarding. Kiters need to be able to set up, launch and exit "cross wind" (with out jumping over a wall). We have created what is perhaps the finest "Kite Launch" know to man. Complete with; ocean front compressor, lots of fresh water, foot showers, water fall showers, shade and a big grass area for rigging as well as gear lockers steps away from the launch! For more about the Method Lodge Resort contact us.

Kite Beach Master Plan



Fortunately the owners of Kite Beach got together early in the game and purchased the land on both sides of the road. Kite beach is a unique set up as as is the other side of the street. El Choco National Park borders the lagoon properties and provides for fantastic views and nature for the entire family.
By purchasing both sides of the street, the owners are able to control the quality of development, something seriously missing in the adjacent town of Cabarete.
Cabarete ended up being a funky little town with no parking and no consideration to the lagoon side of the street. Kite Beach on the other hand will be one of the finest all round recreational developments in North America. To reserve your beach or lagoon villa contact John now.

These 1000 + sq feet units over look the pool and kite beach.
They sleep 4 comfortably and are perfect for the kiteboarder who can't be here all the time.
to reserve your unit contact John.


This is a great kiteboarder unit...the only thing between you and the beach is the pool. This ground floor unit is perfect for the active. No wonder it sold first.

Method Lodge, a Kite Beach Resort

The property:

Being one of the pioneers of kiteboarding has been great, full of benefits and good riding. One thing I learned from Surfing and Snowboarding is that "you got to be at the right spot at the right time!" This is the reason I spent so much time and money looking for the "perfect" kite beach. I found it in the Dominican Republic. Most spots got an automatic DQ because kiteboarders could not own the land. Not so in the DR. Maui Builder, Doyle Betsill, and I purchased a beautiful peice of property in the center of Kite Beach. It turns out that there is much more to kite beach than just the ocean front. EL Choco National Park is on the lagoon side of the beach. El Choco is beaming with fish, birds and wild life. It is here on the Lagoon side where we decided to build Phase One, "Pirate's Cove." This phase sold out quickly and now it is time to build Phase Two "Method Lodge". The lodge is ocean front and offers kiteboarders a chance to own a piece of kiteboarding paradise and history.
