DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | The opening of The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort commemorates the brand’s debut in the region, offering an elegant stay in the Caribbean.

The St. Regis Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort, marking the brand’s highly anticipated debut in the Dominican Republic.

Nestled within the exclusive enclave of Cap Cana, the resort is set along the island’s most coveted stretch of white-sand coastline, an area renowned not only for its world-class golf and pristine beaches, but also for its deep cultural heritage and warm, storied spirit. Inspired by the region’s rich history, vibrant traditions, and breathtaking natural beauty, The St. Regis Cap Cana seamlessly blends timeless luxury with the soul of the Dominican Republic. Set against the backdrop of lush tropical splendour, guests will experience the warmth of Dominican hospitality, the rhythms of its lively music, and the flavours of its celebrated cuisine, all within a setting that redefines elegance and bespoke service in the heart of the Caribbean.

“We are thrilled to debut The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort, bringing the timeless elegance of St. Regis to the Dominican Republic for the first time,” said George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts.

“Set along the pristine shores of Cap Cana, this glamorous new hideaway embraces the island’s breathtaking landscapes and vibrant culture while offering the brand’s signature sophistication, bespoke service, and timeless rituals that have defined St. Regis for over 120 years. As we continue to expand into the world’s most coveted leisure destinations, with plans to double our resort portfolio over the next decade, The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort exemplifies our vision of creating exquisite escapes that blend tradition with contemporary refinement for global travellers and locals alike.”

With architecture by award-winning firm Acebal Canney Arquitectos & Asociados and interior design by acclaimed Crafted by CHAPI Design / Chapi Chapo Design, the resort’s design draws  inspiration from the lush palm-lined beaches, dramatic cliffs, and vibrant energy that define the surrounding land. At the heart of the resort’s design, is a tribute to the island’s multicultural legacy, symbolised by the “faceless doll.” Crafted by Dominican artisans as an emblem of unity and diversity, and incorporated throughout the property, her vibrant colours represent the land, her ornamentation reflects the character of the people, and her faceless form embodies everyone.

With every detail, the resort’s design tells a story of transformation, earth moulded into art, waters shaping the land, and diverse cultures harmonising, seamlessly weaving the textures, colours, and energy of the Dominican landscape, reflecting the warmth and vibrancy of its people across the resort. For instance, the spa incorporates a harmonious blend of water and rock, reflecting the island’s sculpted coastline. The rooms feature custom stone tiles that pay tribute to the island’s natural beauty, while the cigar lounge’s gracefully curved lines evoke the gentle flow of smoke rising against a dusky Caribbean sunset.

Perfect for couples, families, or multigenerational travellers, The St. Regis Cap Cana boasts 200 lavish guest rooms, including 36 suites with direct plunge pool access, all featuring stunning ocean views. The accommodations reflect a contemporary yet elegant interpretation of the Caribbean spirit, with a Presidential Suite spanning 6,500 square feet, designed for an unrivalled luxury experience. The guest rooms are designed to echo the dramatic beauty of the surrounding cliffs and sea, evoking a sense of refined comfort with bespoke furnishings, natural textures, and a soothing colour palette of soft, oceanic blues and sandy neutrals inspired by the coastal surroundings. Thoughtful lighting and tailor-made furnishings enhance the serene atmosphere, while expansive layouts with seaside views invite guests to experience the seamless harmony between architecture and the surrounding landscape.
