This fall, the long-anticipated Grand Resorts at Cap Cana opens on the eastern tip of the Dominican Republic. Part of the Salamander Caribbean Collection, the complex includes the luxurious oceanfront Sanctuary resort, the brand-new, village-style Fishing Lodge and the soon-to-be-completed Ocean Club. Together, they comprise one of the Caribbean’s most attractive vacation destinations – all located just 10 minutes from Punta Cana International Airport, which is served by 38 airlines offering flights from 100 cities around the world.
Twice the size of Manhattan, Cap Cana is an ecologically pristine, 30,000-acre retreat featuring beautiful beaches, oceanfront cliffs and lush forest land. In addition to hiking trails, an array of water-sports options, and a variety of nature-based activities, the complex features Punta Espada, the top-ranked golf course in the Caribbean and Mexico.
All Grand Resorts guests enjoy shared charging, shopping and dining privileges at each resort, while complimentary shuttles are available between the properties – both by land and by boat. And, unlike many other Dominican Republic resorts that are only all-inclusive, the Grand Resorts experience is open to all guest types and stays – from family reunions to executive group retreats.

Featuring architecturally stunning designs that reflect both Caribbean and European influences, the Santuary Cap Cana features suites and villas with ocean views and swim-out access, five restaurants and bars, five pools, a lavish spa, and 18,000 square feet of meeting space. Sanctuary Cap Cana provides a number of memorable dining options, including the notable Blue Marlin restaurant. Perched above the Caribbean Sea on stilts, it offers the area’s finest seafood and most dramatic location. Other restaurant themes include pan-Asian and Italian venues, as well as a signature steakhouse, while continuous poolside and 24-hour room service are also available.
Named for the Caribbean’s largest inland marina that the resort surrounds, Fishing Lodge Cap Cana is located within a masterfully designed village. The waterfront resort achieves its architectural vision through the creative use of Mediterranean-inspired plazas, streetscapes and distinct accommodation styles. It features an array of amenities, including two themed restaurants, three bars, four pools, a 16th century-style stone wedding chapel, a state-of-the-art fitness center, boutique shops, and 30,000 square feet of event spaces, including a spectacular outdoor amphitheater. Fishing Lodge offers 299 spacious, Mediterranean-style villas with extraordinary marina views and designer furnishings. Built on low-rise docks, accommodations range in size from executive rooms to three-bedroom royal suites, while several feature private infinity pools and swim-out access. Guests also enjoy a secluded beach, which is an easy two-minute ride by private watercraft.
Ocean Club Cap Cana will open in 2012 as a 92-room boutique-style hotel, thoughtfully situated where the marina meets the Caribbean Sea.
