The Dominican Republic has always been a favorite vacation spot in the Caribbean. What’s not to love about Punta Cana’s iconic beaches or the lush landscapes in Samaná? There are several areas that call to globetrotters, and lately, there’s a new locale piquing their interest: Miches.
This untouched corner of the Dominican Republic dances to the rhythm of its own drum and beckons visitors looking to discover a quiet coastal enclave, and on the shores of Playa Esmeralda sits Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton.
Those staying at this hotel soon find vacation starts long before they arrive on property. After a flight into Punta Cana International Airport, they’re swept away from the familiar resort corridor and into a quieter stretch of the island. As they enter the Emerald Coast, glimpses of lush mountains, calm lagoons and golden beaches leave travelers realizing they still have a lot to explore in this destination.
For those clients who are looking for the undiscovered, this might be just the ticket. With a serene atmosphere, unique accommodations and an eco-friendly approach, it’s the breath of fresh air they’ve been looking for.
The oceanfront property has 500 rooms, suites and bungalows and seamlessly blends the contemporary all-inclusive ease with a design inspired by the Taíno people. It doesn’t take long for guests to feel how the art and craftsmanship instantly connect them to nature.
Club Azure Is Calling
If you’re working with clients interested in taking their vacation up a notch, Club Azure awaits. This is the resort’s most tucked-away experience, offering a feeling of privacy and exclusivity.
Club Azure guests can indulge in enhanced comfort and elevated privileges like private check-in and check-out, 15% discount on spa massages, upgraded in-room amenities and a complimentary bottle of Dominican rum. They also get access to areas around the resort including three exclusive bars, The Royale Palm Lounge and an adults-only rooftop pool with a Jacuzzi.
Choosing a bungalow in this category means the beach is an extension of the room. That is, if they even want to leave the private plunge pool. Bungalow guests also have personal butler service and an elevated culinary experience at Jagua, an intimate venue with a lush, jungle-inspired atmosphere.
Beyond the Bungalow
While it’s tempting to stay wrapped in the comforts of these upgraded accommodations, guests are encouraged to venture out, as there’s so much more to discover beyond the bungalow. If they can peel themselves away from their oasis, they’ll see there’s even more to love.
Where to start? How about the Acana Spa & Wellness, with 11 treatment rooms, a hydrotherapy circuit, sauna, steam rooms and private pools, or maybe the two-level gym for a yoga or Pilates class.
When the itch for adventure presents itself, there are several activities around the resort to enjoy as well as excursions in the surrounding area. With beaches, mountains, waterfalls and ecological reserves, there’s no shortage of beauty. Visitors can go horseback riding or mountain biking, visit Laguna Limón for birdwatching or explore Los Haitises National Park.
Back on property, guests may want to connect with local traditions through the resort’s daily arts and culture program or grab a paddleboard or kayak for an afternoon of gliding atop the water’s surface. The choice is theirs.
And whenever it’s time to fuel up, visitors can take their pick from 17 all-inclusive dining experiences around the resort.
There’s no question: if your clients are in search of a hidden gem retreat, Zemi Miches Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton should be on their radar.
