Carib Wood Sunset

Carib Wood Sunset: La Altagracia

Hidden away in a dreamy resort on the easternmost tip of the Dominican Republic, this gorgeous villa will delight first-time visitors and seasoned jetsetters alike with its impeccably furnished interiors and abundance of outdoor space.

Dump your bags in the open-plan living area then step straight out into the garden, where you’ll be greeted by swaying palm trees and stunning views of the neighbouring golf course. With an outdoor pool and traditional palapa at your disposal, you’ll easily be able to spend all day unwinding out here, but we equally wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to head inside for a midday snooze or an invigorating workout in the private gym.

When it’s time to eat, tuck into a light meal at the stylish dining table or make a beeline for the shaded veranda and fill up on smoky dishes straight from the barbecue, which we highly recommend washing down with a refreshing cocktail or two. It’ll be bedtime before you know it, so why not make the most of your evening by watching the sun go down at Playa Blanca Beach before turning in for the night? We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of anything we’d rather do.
