Guests arriving at Cayo Levantado’s secluded enclave are welcomed by a charming Victorian-inspired pier that winds through a lush palm grove, guiding them to the white Victorian main building. This enchanting setting sets the stage for a unique vacation.
In June 2023, the Grupo Pinero revealed its newly rebranded and fully renovated 5-star all-inclusive paradise, the Cayo Levantado Resort.
This property stands out by combining two exquisite experiences: an exceptional wellness retreat and the ultimate beachfront vacation all in one remarkable island location. An added and awe-inspiring sight for guests who visit in the beginning of the year, humpback whales are known to gather in this location.
Nestled gracefully on a secluded island within the lush landscapes of Samana Bay, Cayo Levantado boasts easy accessibility, just a brief ten-minute boat ride away from Samana, Dominican Republic.
Cayo Levantado offers a unique experience, rooted in three core pillars aptly known as “A Rhythm All Its Own.” These pillars include an emphasis on Embracing Local Culture,
Sustainability, and Holistic Wellness
Areli Rosales, Sales Director for Cayo Levantado explains, “The opening of Cayo Levantado marks a significant milestone for our corporation and the entire Samaná region. We have introduced a luxury resort with a wellness-centric approach, filling a void that previously existed in this area. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences.”
Embracing Local Culture
Luxury Travel advisors take note Cayo Levantado Resort is the perfect destination for guests who want to fully immerse themselves in local culture.
“We welcome couples seeking romantic getaways, families looking to bond and create lasting memories, and even those planning weddings. Who doesn’t want a wedding on your own secluded island?” offered Rosales.
Tailored Activities for All
“While Cayo Levantado doesn’t offer a dedicated “kids club” we do provide tailored activities for young ones. Our resort offers a unique opportunity for children to connect with nature, step away from technology, and strengthen their bonds with their parents. It’s not just about fun; it’s about learning and discovering new talents or hobbies in a serene and family-friendly environment,” she added.
Local culture and lifestyle are present in every aspect of the resort. Island motifs decorate rooms featuring references to the sea and local flora. Tables are made from local stone and local artisans crafted wood products for the resorts from local guayacan trees.
Not only does the resort’s décor embrace local culture so does the appealing cuisine and beverage mixology offerings on the Island. Offerings include innovative and fresh Dominican cuisine to wellness-focused dishes created using local ingredients from the island.
Suites and Villa Options
The hotel occupies 35 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, featuring a total of 219 rooms spread across different areas, including the main building, villas discreetly nestled among the lush vegetation, and rooms right on the beach.
“Our goal is to cater to a wide range of travellers, ensuring that every guest enjoys a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Cayo Levantado,” added Rosales. “Ten distinct categories of accommodation are scattered throughout the property; each one offers a unique design and experience. Whether it’s our luxurious one-bedroom villas with private plunge pools that are perfect for honeymooners, or our spacious two-bedroom villas tailored for families, we have something for everyone.”
Junior Suites at the resorts all come with private sitting areas, with options of sea or garden views plus an additional option of private plunge pool.
Whether it’s an ocean view suite, or plunge pool in a private villa, Cayo Levantado offers diverse and appealing accommodation for all tastes. A welcome addition of unprecedented luxury and charm for the area, sure to be a hot traveler’s pick in the months to come.
