Rooms and suites are outfitted in sophisticated tropical-inspired decor, and some have swim-out access or private terraces with pools.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The property rests inside the gated Cap Cana enclave, bordered by Caribbean waters and the cliffside fairways of Punta Espada.
The rooms
Ground-floor suites feature private swim-out terraces, accompanied by bespoke cocktail carts, handwoven textiles, and deep soaking tubs.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Multiple swimming pools wind through palm groves toward the beach, featuring shaded cabanas and dedicated quiet zones.
The spa
Twelve treatment rooms use Sothys Paris formulas, accompanied by sound therapy and a carved-wood relaxation lounge.
The gym and soaking tubs
Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the ocean-view fitness studio, and private terraces hold round stone soaking tubs.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz crafts flame-grilled dishes at oceanfront Nina, and dedicated lounges pour Dominican rums and local coffee.
The resort’s design is sleek yet soulful, mixing clean-lined architecture with natural textures, coral stone, driftwood accents and a calming neutral palette.
How it began
Local artisan traditions inspired the design, weaving the symbolic Dominican faceless doll motif into sculptural murals and flowing architecture.
