Luxe villa company Ani Villas has expanded its operations to the Dominican Republic.

The company’s new Dominican Republic oustpost, called Ani Villas Dominicana, is a fully-staffed and serviced 14-bedroom estate set on its own peninsula.

The property was designed by noted Dominican designer Sarah Garcia, perhaps best known for designing the ultra-luxe Casa Colonial boutique hotel in Puerto Plata.

Ani Villas, located on the north central coast of the Dominican Republic, offers a private chef, 24-hour butler service, water slides, a tennis court, swimming pools and even a spa.

It’s the second Caribbean location for Ani Villas, which also has a property in Anguilla.
