Marriott Opens Dominican Republic Luxury All-Inclusive Resort 

By: Alexander Britell - September 15, 2022

Marriott has opened its newest all-inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. 

It’s called Sanctuary Cap Cana, and it’s part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection. 

It’s the latest expansion for All-Inclusive for Marriott Bonvoy, which has been rapidly expanding its all-inclusive portfolio across the Caribbean’s top destinations. 

The adults-only resort is Marriott’s first luxury all-inclusive in the Caribbean, set in the exclusive enclave of Cap Cana near Punta Cana. 

“Cap Cana is one of Dominican Republic’s most coveted areas offering an inspiring getaway for our global explorers with a stretch of white sanded beaches, turquoise waters, and architecture resembling a storied colonial Spanish era,” said Brian King, President Caribbean & Latin America for Marriott International. “Sanctuary Cap Cana is proof of our commitment to provide discerning travelers with unique vacation retreats to continue collecting timeless memories, now in a convenient luxurious all-inclusive format.”

The resort has a total of 324 suites, along with 46,000 square feet of event space and 17 different event rooms. 

That includes the 5,500-square-foot Castle Island Suite, a two-level unit on its own private island with a master bedroom, secondary bedroom, two and a half bathrooms, expansive living room, full dining room, and three indoor plunge pools with floor to ceiling windows showcasing infinite views of the ocean.

The property features four different a la carte dining concepts, including signature eateries The Capriccio and The Steakhouse. The property is also anchored by the Sanctuary Town, right across from the lobby, which has a selection of different culinary options, from a Sushi town to the Burger Factory to the wood-fired pizza spot Mama’s Forno. 

One of six pools on the property.

The poolscape is vast, with six pools across the property including a swim-up river, joined by cabanas and sun chairs on the beach. 

The wellness offering is centered around the Sanctuary Spa, which has Ayurvedic treatments, hydro and other cutting-edge therapies. 

The “private island” suite.

“Sanctuary Cap Cana is an ultra-luxury experience in which guests can expect a top-of-the-line service and quality that can’t be matched at the all-inclusive level,” said Gregory Maliassas, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Playa Hotels & Resorts. “This resort is the perfect choice for the level of style and sophistication that has made Marriott’s The Luxury Collection resorts the standard-bearer for unique, one-of-a-kind vacations and we are honored to be partnering with the Marriott team.”

It’s the latest addition to Marriott’s broad all-inclusive collection around the Caribbean, one that now includes more than two dozen resorts across the wider region. 

And it’s instantly one of the premier all-inclusive options in greater Punta Cana.
