St. Regis Cap Cana Resort unbolts its doors

The St. Regis Cap Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic has unbolted its doors.

Located in Cap Cana, the resort is set along a coveted stretch of white-sand coastline, in an upscale area also known for its world-class golf.

“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, SVP and global brand leader, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, in a press release.

“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.”

According to a release, 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, symbolized by the “faceless doll.”

Crafted by Dominican artisans as an emblem of unity and diversity, her vibrant colours represent the land, her ornamentation reflects the character of the people, and her faceless form embodies everyone.

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 promise a contemporary yet elegant interpretation of the Caribbean spirit, with a Presidential Suite spanning 6,500 square feet, designed for an unrivaled 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.

The St. Regis Cap Cana features four swimming pools, including exclusive spaces reserved for discerning adults and family-friendly areas designed for guests of all ages, as well as an exclusive Children and Teens Club, all complemented by the signature St. Regis Butler Service.

Off property, golf enthusiasts are near Punta Espada Golf Course, a Jack Nicklaus signature course, with sweeping ocean views.

The resort is ideally situated near Cap Cana’s premier attractions, including the Marina Cap Cana, Scape Park, and Los Establos Equestrian Center.
