Our Story
"Casa El Paraíso" is a rustic getaway situated atop cliffs overlooking Samana Bay. Constructed from natural and local materials, it's a truly one-of-a-kind way to experience the Dominican Republic and its natural beauty.
Surrounded by 5000 sq. meters of tropical gardens, birds, butterflies, a pond full of colorful fish and overall amazing views, its a very special place where you can immerse yourself in nature, find tranquility and connect with your inner self and your beloved ones.
"Casa El Paraíso" was built to be an extension of the local habitat. Drawing from native materials and landscape, the bungalow-style construction blends seamlessly into the surrounding jungle. All bungalows are open-design floor plans with uninterrupted views of Samana Bay and constant connectivity with the natural environment.
In our extensive gardens, native flora and fauna grow wild and protected. Several species of birds and butterflies call this area home and can be seen. Samana Bay is home to Atlantic Humpback whales that return every year from January to April and may be spotted from the property.
All features of the house are available to guests including but not limited to the social common area, full kitchen, pool area, whirlpool bath, poolside bar, sitting area, outdoor dining patio and backyard.
On arrival, the host (Nora or José) will welcome you and provide a tour of the property. They will be available to recommend activities and restaurants, and assist in any way to ensure you have a unique and memorable stay.
Our local cook, Jobina, will prepare Dominican breakfast daily (included in price). The breakfast includes assorted tropical fruits, eggs, and native dishes such as fried yucca and mangú (mashed plantains).
We encourage guests to try local fare in nearby towns for lunch and dinner. If you prefer to stay in however, for an additional fee our cook is happy to prepare local dishes. We can additionally arrange for a professional Italian chef to come to the house to prepare whatever you may be craving.
