They say that the three most important factors in the desirability of a property are "location, location, location." While it's privileged setting on a small paradisical island overlooking stunning Samaná Bay is the hallmark of Cayo Levantado Resort, this exclusive property has far more to boast about. The only resort in the Dominican Republic on its own secluded island, Cayo Levantado is an all-inclusive enclave for discerning travelers. Care of mind, body and soul are its main inspirations, blending together seamlessly to elevate every vacation experience into a meaningful personal journey.
In the Dominican Republic’s unspoiled northern region, Samaná is filled with spectacular sites and boundless beauty, a true paradise for nature lovers with three natural ecosystems: coastal areas, semi-dry tropical forest and humid tropical forest. Rolling mountains and valleys form the crystalline rivers that feed into the Atlantic, cascading toward white sand beaches stretching around the coastline. The island boasts three stunning Caribbean beaches, two of them exclusive to Cayo Levantado guests, and the third exclusive after 5 p.m. From January to March, around 2,500 humpback whales visit Samaná Bay, truly a sight to behold!
Arrival at Cayo Levantado Resort is an experience in and of itself. From the mainland, guests enjoy a 10 to 15-minute sail to the island, where they’re blessed by a Tainos welcome. Their personal Ambassador is there to greet them, introduce them to their surroundings, and help ensure every aspect of their stay is curated to their preferences.
The resort offers an elevated culinary experience at five à la carte restaurants and an abundant buffet. Multiple bars and lounges feature trendy mixology. Global cuisine emphasizes rich cultural traditions and utilizes the freshest local ingredients, many from the resort’s organic gardens. Sustainability is a priority with continuing efforts in renewable energy, waste management and responsible water usage.
Forbes Travel Guide, the global authority on hospitality excellence, awarded Cayo Levantado Resort 4 Stars in 2024. This prestigious honor is reserved for exceptional properties offering high levels of service and quality of facilities to match. The only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas, Forbes’ annual Star Awards are earned through its objective, in-person inspection process that encompasses more than 900 luxury standards.
The resort's architecture and design are a celebration of Dominican culture. Many amenities and furnishings are crafted from materials sourced by local artisans. From the intimacy of Junior Suites to the opulence of Signature Villas, the 218 guest rooms are expertly styled and purposefully appointed, a seamless blend of modern luxury and Dominican culture.
No resource has been spared at the state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, complete with expert consultants and professional staff, licensed personal trainers, modern equipment and premium products.
Recognized as one of the world’s best wellness destinations in National Geographic’s “Best of the World 2024,” resort offerings are holistically incorporated to emphasize physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Nurturing the mind, body and spirit is a way of life at Cayo Levantado Resort. Guests can choose from four distinct wellness paths — REFRESH, RESTORE, RELAX and RENEW. Be it exercise, meditation, nutrition or activities, expertly trained staff guide guests towards a rhythm that ignites their inner spirit. Tranquility of the mind is found through beach, full moon, equinox, solstice, chakra balance and sun-gazing meditations. These and other self-discovery programs are part of the all-inclusive package, while guests who wish to elevate their journey even further can participate in more bespoke discovery programs such as Yubarta for a fee.
