Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
An oceanfront villa with a Caribbean-facing pool terrace that makes it hard to go inside. When you do, there's a cinema room, an in-villa spa, and a private gym – plus a dramatic atrium where a wooden ceiling sculpted to resemble a turtle shell crowns a lush tropical garden. Around-the-clock butler service, a private chef, and a dedicated concierge mean very little is left to chance. Bávaro Beach is within reach, and with Punta Cana International Airport just seven-minutes away, the journey in is as seamless as the stay itself.
