Luxury villa brand Ani Villas is expanding to a new destination in the Caribbean: the Dominican Republic.

The new Ani Villas Dominican Republic is a fully-staffed and serviced 14-bedroom estate on the central northern coast of the country.

The villa is located on its own peninsula, offering 270-degree ocean views with coves, beaches and mountains in the distance.

The property is designed by Dominican designer Sarah Garcia, perhaps best known for her work at the Casa Colonial hotel in Puerto Plata.

The facility will include a private chef and 24-hour butler service, along with pools, water slides, a spa, a gym and a tennis court, among other amenities.

Ani Villas also operates a villa property on the island of Anguilla.

The Dominican Republic property is slated to debut in the middle of 2017, according to the company’s Web site.
