Tucked behind the gates of the island-renowned Punta Cana Resort on a world-class golf course, Villa Mandala is a gorgeous six-bedroom villa that’s ideal for families and friends seeking a relaxing tropical escape. With golfing opportunities on your doorstep and just a short drive from the beach, the villa is close to all the action while still remaining tranquil and private.

Soak up the Caribbean sun on a lounger, before slipping into the lengthy pool to cool off. The large pool terrace hosts many secluded spots where you can sit back and read, in addition to social spaces with comfortable sofas, prime for sipping on ice-cold drinks with your loved ones. A gorgeous gazebo intensifies the outdoor allure, housing an al fresco dining area that is the perfect place to tuck into grilled local produce from the barbeque while watching the palms around the garden sway in the breeze.

The beautifully appointed interiors are chic and modern, with a white-washed colour palette offset by gentle grey, beige and wood hues. Indulge in a popcorn-filled film night in the spacious open-plan living and dining area, which features a large flat-screen TV, or walk through the room’s sliding windows to the pool terrace where you can dip into the pool for a late-night swim. The kitchen is sleek and fitted with all the contemporary amenities you could wish for. There’s even the option to have a chef to whip up your culinary desires, plus a butler to adhere to your every need.

There are six gorgeous bedrooms at the villa, which are split evenly across the main house and the guest house. Four of the rooms feature king-sized beds, one features two twins that can be made up as a king, and the specially designed children’s room has two twins with the option of rails for safety. All have their own ensuite bathrooms, and some have access to the terrace — a lovely spot to sip your morning coffee in peace and quiet.
