Dominican Republic’s Newest Sustainable Island Resort

The Dominican Republic is known for its Caribbean Island charm, white sand beaches and sunny skies, and Cayo Levantado provides all this and more. An island within an island, Cayo Levantado is located three miles from Samaná Bay and offers three relaxing beach areas for guests to enjoy.

Visitors are invited to experience full relaxation on the island with a stay at Cayo Levantado Resort. The all-inclusive property boasts 219 stylish guestrooms, six restaurants, bars, a coffee shop, spa, CrossFit studio and much more.

The luxury resort combines elements of both sustainability and innovation to not only add value to the tourism industry but also contribute to the local community. Its three pillars are local culture, sustainability and wellness.

“With a profound respect for the environment, we focus our expertise on protecting the delicate ecosystem and preserving its spectacular flora and fauna,” said Pablo del Toro, Technical Environmental Advisor, Grupo Piñero.

“In order to operate and power the hotel efficiently, gardening, waste management and renewable energy is required. Among the renewable energy sources, you’ll find thermal energy, heat recovery and solar panels.”

Beating to “A Rhythm All Its Own,” Cayo Levantado Resort encourages guests to choose their own rhythm for their stay to find healing in the mind, body and spirit. There are four wellness paths to choose from: refresh, restore, relax and renew.

In addition to spacious accommodations and unlimited dining, the all-inclusive concept allows guests to enjoy themed events, international entertainment, 24-hour room service and one hour of paddle surf, kayaks and snorkeling each day. Visitors can choose to do it all or simply relax and take in the nature they’re surrounded by.
