The Dominican Republic has enviable beauties that make it an unmissable destination in the Caribbean.
Now, in addition to the sun, the beach, the gastronomy and the mountains, it is also internationally known for luxury tourism through exclusive resorts located in paradisiacal areas.
Travel+Leisure magazine published a report that places the Dominican Republic as a world-class luxury destination.
“From Santo Domingo, with its rich colonial history, to the golden coasts of Puerto Plata, passing through the elegant enclaves of Casa de Campo, Punta Cana, Cap Cana and the lush landscapes of Samaná, this country has been a haven of peace for celebrities, businessmen and iconic figures. From Frank Sinatra to Julio Iglesias, many have left their mark on these shores,” the report says.
The article, written by Eladio González, mentions Amanera in Playa Grande on the North Coast, famous for its elegant minimalist villas and its surroundings surrounded by nature, and ÀNI Private Resorts, an exclusive architectural refuge in Río San Juan.
In the east of the country, Punta Cana, is located the Puntacana Resort, a luxury destination visited by celebrities and former presidents every year. Among these, they highlight the Tortuga Bay.
This hotel, designed by Oscar de la Renta, shines as the only hotel in the country with the AAA Five Diamond award, while Eden Roc Cap Cana, a member of Relais & Châteaux, raises the standard of luxury with its design and impeccable hospitality.
In Samaná, the recently renovated Cayo Levantado combines sustainable luxury with an immersive experience in nature, while The Peninsula House in Las Terrenas transports visitors to the 18th century with its period decoration and unique atmosphere.
The country’s capital is not far behind. Santo Domingo, especially its Colonial City, is highlighted as an essential destination. Boutique hotels such as Las Casas del Siglo XVI and Kimpton Las Mercedes offer a perfect combination of restored history with modern touches, ideal for those seeking urban experiences with a touch of luxury.
The report also mentions the Dominican coasts, with more than 200 kilometers of paradisiacal beaches, such as the impressive Bahía de las Águilas, with its white sand and crystal-clear waters, to the virgin beaches of Samaná, with Playa Rincón, considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
The future of luxury tourism in the Dominican Republic, according to Travel+Leisure, continues to expand. Upcoming openings of prestigious brands such as the St. Regis in Cap Cana and the Four Seasons in Miches were announced, which will further raise the standard of excellence in the country.
Sport fishing is presented as another luxury experience in itself. Destinations such as Punta Cana and La Romana are renowned for their international tournaments and the great abundance of species such as sailfish, white marlin and tuna.
For fans of this activity, there is the option of renting private yachts equipped with the latest technology, which guarantee a very exclusive experience on the high seas.
