COSTA NORTE IS EMERGING INTO THE NEXT LUXURY DESTINATION OF THE CARIBBEAN. 

A COUNTRY OF SWEEPING BEACHES, ROLLING HILLS, A RICH CULTURE, AND FRIENDLY LOCALS. W IS SITUATED ON CABARETE BEACH — NESTLED WITHIN ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR STRETCHES OF COASTLINE IN THE COUNTRY, THE COSTA NORTE.

With US a mere 2 hour flight away, this long coastal corridor stretching from the border in the west to Río San Juan in the east has enclaves of expat communities that have endowed some towns with a whiff of international flavor. There are forested hills, dry desert scrublands, and jungly nature preserves with tumbling waterfalls. There are sleepy little towns with laundry drying on clotheslines, old folks holding court at sidewalk cafes and mile after mile of sandy beaches. There’s also the genteel, urban vibe of Puerto Plata, whose classic Caribbean architecture – Victorian-era buildings painted in bright pastels – belies its past as a regional capital.  

Surrounded by Aman, Ani Villas, and The Luxury Collection, The W is the latest luxury development with an absolutely unrivaled location.

THE NORTH COAST OF DOMINICAN REPUBLIC HAS QUIETLY ESCAPED THE ALL-INCLUSIVE MASS TOURISM FROM THE SOUTH. SUSTAINABLE ECOTOURISM AND LIMITED NUMBERS ARE THE MANTRAS OF THE REGION.
