The Sanctuary Bahia Esmeralda Eco Beach Resort & Spa is located in the heart of the Caribbean on the North coast of the Dominican Republic in an area of outstanding beauty embraced on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and the beautiful beaches of Bahia Esmeralda (Emerald Bay) and on the other by the lush tropical hinterland that defines the diverse interior of the island. The beach is sheltered by a
double coral reef, creating a safe sheltered oasis of peace and beauty - a true sanctuary. The resort lies only 45 minutes from Gregorio Luperon International Airport Puerta Plata, with daily direct flights from the UK, Europe, Canada and the US.
30 minutes to the west lies Cabarete, a coastal village, known as the kite boarding and wind surfing capital of the world, due to its warm waters and perfect trade winds. Cabarete is very popular among the young and adventurous for the aquatic sports offered on its beach. It is famous for its annual jazz festival each autumn, and its eclectic bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. Nearby, Sosúa features excellent snorkelling and diving for those seeking an underwater thrill. To the East is Samana, a natural deep water conservation area famous for the migratory humpback whales that visit the warm Caribbean waters in the winter. The vision is to create one of the world’s most beautiful and luxurious destination resorts using the simplicity of nature. Clients will be able to indulge in a place of tranquillity, space and quality, with exceptional amenities. All properties will be eco sensitive in build and location (with carbon neutral targets) without any compromise to levels of luxury and comfort. We aim to deliver a high yielding but affordable business model whilst ensuring the highest standards of quality and design are achieved.
