Located right in the middle of Cocotal Golf & Country Club, this extraordinary villa is a dream choice for those who love to hit the fairway. If that's not you, don't fret — we promise you that there are plenty more luxury touches that will be more to your liking. The most unique feature probably has to be the waterfall that cascades down the edge of the home into the private swimming pool. Around the sparkling depths, you'll find everything you need to relax under the shade of palm trees, from a day bed and loungers to a barbecue and hammock. Although this outside space is impressive enough, just wait until you step into the home and see the palatial entry hall with double-height windows, the ultra-modern kitchen and a grand dining room. If you want to make use of this last area but don't want to cook, you can even hire a private chef to work their magic. Aside from the golf course you can see from the upper floor's balcony, there's a whole host of communal perks in the resort that guests are welcome to use, including tennis courts, a restaurant and a huge swimming pool. Seeing as you're in the Dominican Republic, you're probably wondering how far away the sea is. The answer is not very far indeed — the white sands of Bavaro Beach can be reached in only five minutes' drive.
