Tucked inside a gated complex in Cap Cana's Iguanas area, this apartment is a well-considered retreat for couples wanting to slow right down. The shared community pool is the natural centre of the day – cool off there, then retreat to the open-air lounge when the afternoon heat peaks. Back inside, the layout keeps things unfussy and relaxed, with everything you need and nothing you don't. Cap Cana itself delivers the kind of Caribbean ease that's easy to settle into, and Playa Juanillo, one of the best beaches, is a ten-minute drive away.
