“Take a deep breath in and breathe out your stress,” encourages our yoga instructor, as we conclude a relaxing meditation session at the luxurious Sanctuary Cap Cana. Nestled on the stunning Caribbean coastline, this adults-only, all-inclusive resort promises an escape like no other, just 15 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport.
Discover Paradise at Sanctuary Cap Cana
Cap Cana, recognized as one of the Dominican Republic’s most exclusive areas, is home to pristine beaches and the largest marina in the Caribbean. It is no surprise that Marriott chose this opulent destination for its first all-inclusive, adults-only property within the Luxury Collection. The resort, designed to resemble a Spanish colonial castle, boasts 324 luxurious suites and villas, each offering a unique blend of architectural elegance and modern comfort. Visitors may find themselves wishing to extend their stay indefinitely.
LUXURY AND COMFORT REDEFINED
Since its reopening in early 2023, following renovations induced by Hurricane Fiona, Sanctuary Cap Cana has become an integral part of the Marriott Bonvoy All-Inclusive collection. Luisa Villafana, the hotel’s ecommerce and sales manager, emphasizes the unique charm of Cap Cana, stating, “Just look around, white sand beaches, the ocean, the weather. It’s so nice.” The hotel primarily focuses on providing a bespoke experience to ensure relaxation and rejuvenation for its guests.
The architecture transports guests to a lavish Spanish village with spacious suites that feature stylish wood accents, rattan furniture, and luxurious baths. Many rooms include private balconies, some equipped with soaking tubs and ocean views, while select units offer swim-up access right from the terrace.
A Unique Experience Tailored to Guests
The resort’s more exclusive area, known as “the Castle,” enhances luxury by offering full-time butler service and personalized guest experiences. Some ground-floor accommodations in this area connect to a private pool, adding to the opulence.
Guests seeking relaxation will enjoy the extensive spa, featuring a hydrotherapy circuit and six pools, including a serene saltwater option. For culinary enthusiasts, the resort presents a diverse gastronomic landscape with four a la carte restaurants: Capriccio, the Steakhouse, Blue Marlin, and Wok, complemented by a buffet-style option.
Indulge in Culinary Delights
Sanctuary Cap Cana features a variety of dining experiences, including five additional bistro-style restaurants located within Sanctuary Town. Guests can savor international flavors at breakfast in Casabella, with offerings ranging from traditional fare to local specialties. Lunchtime at Blue Marlin allows for breathtaking ocean views and delicious dishes like fresh ceviche and shrimp tacos.
For dinner, the resort’s dining scene does not disappoint. The Pan-Asian cuisine at Wok has garnered rave reviews, while The Steakhouse and Capriccio provide a taste of Italian and international dishes. Note that some venues maintain a dress code, ensuring an upscale dining atmosphere.
Cocktails and Nightlife
As evening descends, unwind with a nightcap at the Love Bar, a sophisticated piano bar known for its creative cocktails, or head to the Ocean Club for a whiskey by the serene ocean waters. Sanctuary Cap Cana truly embodies luxury, relaxation, and culinary excellence, making every moment spent here a delightful escape.
Your clients will surely want to raise a glass and say “salud” to the incredible experiences awaiting them at this Caribbean paradise.
