A New All-Inclusive Resort Is Opening on a Dominican Republic Island 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - December 2, 2022

A new all-inclusive resort is opening on an island off the coast of the Dominican Republic next year, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The new Cayo Levantado Resort, part of the Bahia Principe Hotels and Resorts portfolio, is opening its doors in June 2023, the property confirmed. 

The resort, which is now taking reservations for stays beginning June 1, 2023, is the product of an extensive transformation of the former Bahia Principe Luxury Cayo Levantado.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of this very unique nature’s enclave,” said Lluisa Salord, VP of Sales, Contracting and Distribution. “Cayo Levantado Resort is certainly an important benchmark in the Dominican Republic, a major sustainable innovation project taking shape with the help of local companies and talent in Samaná. This project not only adds value to the tourism sector, but also contributes to the development of the country and the local community.”  

The resort will have a total of 219 rooms, along with two swimming pools, a pair of spas – including a “jungle spa” – and a beach club.

That’s along with other more unique amenities, from an outdoor CrossFit area to a personal training studio, a botanical garden and a beauty salon. 

The all-inclusive resort will have three a la carte eateries, including one buffet; beverage outlets will feature four bars and a coffee shop. 

The all-inclusive program will additionally include themed events and activities and one hour per day of watersports.

The wellness center, called Yubarta, will feature a meditation room, a cent, a nutrition studio and lush tropical gardens. 

Bahia Principe says the resort will have two additional “specialty restaurants” to “give visitors exciting dining options outside the all-inclusive offerings.” Those will likely involve a surcharge. 

It’s the only resort on the tiny island in the bay of Samana, home to three beaches, two of which are exclusively for guests at the Cayo Levantado Resort.
