This Just-Opened All-Inclusive in the Dominican Republic Has “Vibe” Parties, Adventure Tours and “Splash” Rooms With Private Pools 

By: Alexander Britell - January 25, 2025

The choice is yours: spend the day looking out at one of the most beautiful bays in the Dominican Republic from the comfort of your own private plunge pool, or take a journey to explore the natural wonders of the Los Hiatises National Park. 

Of course, at the newest all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic, the choices are endless. That’s the story at the new Viva Miches by Wyndham resort, a 538-room stunner set in the Miches, the country’s off-the-beaten-path, pristine, buzzing destination. 

The stars are what the property calls “Splash” rooms, which come with their own private plunge pools. 

They’re just a part of the swim options at the beach resort, which includes a spectacular main pool with a swim-up bar.

It’s right on the beach at the edge of the jungle.

And while the plunge pool rooms are great for couples, this is a very family-friendly resort, with a kids’ club with everything from crafts to themed parties. 

For the adults, you get a broad slate of programming, including the Viva brand’s famous “Viva Vibe Parties.”

On the culinary front, you’ll find five eateries, including a Latin Fusion spot, an Asian restaurant, a Mediterranean-inspired eatery and Atlantis, which combines seafood and adventure for a unique culinary experience featuring local flavors  

There are quite a few options for active travelers: kayaking, wind surfing, snorkeling and, in a nod to the hottest thing in sports, padel courts.

Miches is “uncharted,” says Dominique Colussi, vice president of development at Viva Resorts by Wyndham. “It’s an enchanting, undiscovered beachfront locale.”

In another cool touch, it’s also very sustainable: think solar power, local conservation efforts and even efforts to help protect and monitor the Caribbean sea turtle population (a cause we are passionate about). 

It’s the sixth Viva Resorts by Wyndham property in the Dominican Republic. 

But the story in Miches is really the beauty, with the jungle coming up right to the edge of the beach; it’s a spectacular setting and a part of the Dominican Republic few travelers really know about yet.

What about prices? Right now, you can book entry-level rooms for as low as $117 per person, an extremely compelling rate for any all-inclusive in the Caribbean right now. 

And what about getting to Miches? You can fly to Punta Cana, which is about an hour and a half’s drive, with the best option arranging an airport transfer directly with the resort. 

Here’s where you can find some good flight options to Punta Cana, which has abundant airlift from across the United States.
