New Interior Design And Innovative Programs Captivate Travelers

Even before its large-scale renovation last year, Cayo Levantado has long been at the forefront of high-end luxury in the Dominican Republic. This year, the upscale resort has taken its unique hospitality concept one step further by combining cutting-edge design with authentic Dominican experiences.

Situated off the shore of Samaná, Cayo Levantado is a prestigious property boasting some 219 rooms, 12 of which are stand-alone adult-only villas. Aside from its beautifully appointed suites, this resort stands out in its unique location, entirely situated on a stunning tropical island.

Measuring just three square kilometers in size, Cayo Levantado, which shares the same name as the resort, is a picturesque island containing some of the cleanest and finest white-sand beaches in the Dominican Republic.

The 5-star resort recently underwent a massive renovation that completely revolutionized the property’s design and service concept. As travelers increasingly seek out unique cultural experiences on their next holiday, Grupo Piñero, the hospitality chain that operates the high-end resort, wanted to capitalize on evolving travel trends.
